Drawing on the observations and experimentation in Project 1 and 2, Project 3 requires students to develop an experience. This can take the form of a 3D object, media design or curated experience. The experience can be created off site, but must be accessible (e.g. no more than 10 minutes from the campus by foot) and permitted in that space. Students are required to document this experience in use. Students must also write 1000 words contextualising and relating the experience to one of the following ‘structures of feeling’:
-
Glamour
-
Austerity
-
Comfort
-
Routine
-
Rebellion
Development;
The experience I have chosen to create was highly influenced by the Japanese puzzle box, pictured bellow. Focusing on the frustration that can come from attempting to open the puzzle box I chose to create the feeling of rebellion within my developed experience.

The experience I generated consisted of the individual
attempting to break into a combination of two boxes in order to obtain a prise
of some sort. These two boxes were designed so in order to open the box, the participant
needed to complete a series of tasks. The boxes I designed for this experience contained
locks, blocking systems, misguiding warning signs as well as false entries.
smaller box, contained a blocking system, as well as maze
which required the individual to shake the box around to finally retrieve the
treats inside. This then fits snugly
inside the other, and also contained a lock system, so it is lock in place by a
bolt system, as well as a wooden dowel on the other side (images bellow)
The outer box contains a fake lid, which is made known
through the use of the false latch and hinge. Connected to the top of the box
the key, and the wooden dowel is connected also with string. Both boxes contain,
warning signs of rules to follow when attempting to get inside.
Trail runs; i did a few different trail runs, changing how i reacted during the experiment, as the more authoritative my demenour was the less likely the individual was to finsih the task.
Below is a photo documented example of how to successfully
open the box to retrieve the prise.
