Woohoo! Its done, and it went pretty well! I ALMOST got the shot of Sarah that I wanted. She thought it was real for a small second and that moment was classic.
If anything, I probably would have not had a camera, and just let it play out as Sarah would have believed it longer, but I think it worked out pretty exactly how I wanted it to. Sarah said she didnt really feel rebellious, but that she felt rebellious by association, which is exactly what I was going for wth embodied rebellion, so thats awesome!
So I'll upload some unedited photos a little later today, the internet isn't working at the mo so oh well!

EK
So I have been in contact with the lecturer, and the students who's work it was, and it appeared there was some miscommunication in the bookings. The lecturer thought the work was allowed until Monday, but he thinks maybe he meant just the outside LT2 area.
Anyway, I haven't heard back from the two students - I have offered replacements and coffee and chocolate, and apologised thoroughly, I hope they forgive me and realise I feel really awful about it.
What a crazy thing to happen at the start of the day to take my mind completely off my own work which I never thought would be possible! ;)
The Lecturer thanked me for my honesty when I asked whether the exhibition was graded before now,etc, and said it was all good, so I hope I havent effected that aswell.
moral of this story is dont try and be different with your spaces. Use the space that has been booked. (although noted: it looks like that space is filled with 300level CCDN anyway)
Sigh.

Ahhh
OHHH DEAR.
So I booked the space I needed for Thursday and I had to set it up at 7.30am this morning as thats when I could get help with large peices of paper etc. The exhibition that was up two days prior to mine was still there, and I had time pressure of the other person, so I had to bring theirs down.
The REAL exhibition was extremely large peices of project work, and I was extremely careful getting them off the space, and laying them out on a table to keep them nice.
Unfortunately I damaged one of the sides of the posters, it has a rip in the side. Now I am nowhere near worried about the experience, and instead really nervous about my accident! As soon as it was done I got a feeling of dread and cried (haha exactly what I wanted when I was stressing so much about my experience working!) Now the other persons real exhibition peices are laying on the table and im so terrified someone is going to come along and be angry. Im also nervous that even though I booked the space, something has gone wrong with booking and maybe it was meant to stay up. I know this isnt the case, but because I am a worry wart this stuff goes through my mind!
I have contacted the shop and my booking contact to try and get the email of the person who's work I have damaged. I will of course be offering to pay for a replacement, and apologising, but im still feeling really stink about the day so I hope nothing else goes wrong or I'll have another meltdown!
In terms of the project, my exhibition is all up, it looks pretty crappy, but the work at least looks real and well done. I was supposed to get the title printed out in one big peice, but the machine that does this broke down, so I had to cellotape A3 paper together into a title which looks rubbish. SO tha aside, Im all ready. I have my marker and my hoodie all ready and my sentence to give to Kath. Im just needed to decide whether its me or Sarah that is the rebel passing the note. If it is Sarah, then I will be free to take images of Kath, but if its me, I will have to jump in and out of character. I think I'll just take images later, although trying to snap one of Sarahs reaction just in case it can be turned into a good one.
I can have an image of the graffitti on the work, which will look good hopefully.
So I should be all sorted... except for the prior accident which makes me nauseous. I hate getting in trouble. goodie-good mature student gone bad!!
As a side note, the panels that went up for architecture crits yesterday block the view of the mock exhibition from where I have told Meredith to take Sarah to notice it, so I have asked Sarah to go up and say something to get her attention around the corner on it. Not as good, but I was happy for it this morning as they blocked me setting up the exhibition. I FELT REBELLIOUS just by being there under the title "The Best of Architecture: The Elite Form of Design" and having the papers not actually looking as elite as they should. I thought the architecture students would throw things!! So pros and cons! It might make Kath feel less rebellious because less people are able to see her doing it. But as i caused rebellion in myself without meaning to, I think it should be great.
Sigh. I really want the other issue sorted so I can focus on other things. I can't do any other work until this is sorted. I haven't got the contact details of the person yet and until then I'm not sure I will feel normal...
:S

Nervous
Its only two days until the experience and I'm getting nervous. I really want to make sure it all works fine, I know i'm just being over stressy as always, but it can't be helped!
I just need...
otherwise on the day I just need my hoodie and my camera...
ek.
I'd really like to time the setup so I know none of the people will be here, but short of getting here at 7.30am (which might have to happen) Im sure this is something I can't control. Even the off-site experiences that are happening early in the morning have then meeting in the atrium so this will definitely mean they see what I am doing.
double ek.
I just need...
- Resend confidential documents on Wednesday
- confirm with Sarah about helping at 1.40
- print out arch posters and title, and know what style these will look like on the wall
- make sure I get enough white large paper as a backing
- measure the wall just in case
- buy a red marker
otherwise on the day I just need my hoodie and my camera...

Project Three
Alrighty! I has been along time since my last post! I wasnt sure we needed to continue to blog, but apparently we do so here I am!
Since my last post where I was humming and haaring over ideas, we had a tutorial to chat about our ideas and hopefully get them sorted. I delivered two ideas to class and everyone liked one of them better than the other.
Using all three tutors and getting them to graffiti on an exhibition was the strongest idea, but it has evolved since then.
So instead of all of them doing it, I have got 3 tutors and each of them experiencing rebellion in different ways.
One of them is going to do the tagging on the mock architecture exhibition, and another is also in on it and will distract sarah while it happens. Then I have a student who is going to alert Sarah to the fact someone has tagged and Sarah will feel Embodied by the rebellious act, feeling her own version of rebellious.
So trying to get all the details right at the moment. I have access to architecture poster work from my friend who is third year arch, and I can print them out large. I also have big long piece of paper to cover up the noticeboards that I have booked out. In trying to be more surprising I have booked an area of the atrium that isnt a part of the area that has been booked out for 231. Hopefully this will add more of a surprise for Sarah as she wont be expecting anything in that area.
So after organising the content of posters, and booking the area, I made some briefs to send to the two tutors who need to know what to do on the day. I am a little nervous that because it will be a crazy day, they will forget the instructions. But I plan on sending reminders on Wed so make sure.
I need to bring a red marker, my black hoody, and my camera on the day. I am planning on setting up as early as I can so all I have to do is do the experience and then capture some shots and I am done!
The briefs were sent to Kath and Meredith on Thursday (so a week out from the experience) and the tone was extremely briefing sounding, like a war / political briefing from a society (culture and context society) as much of the research is war / politics related and I thought this would be fitting.
I actually got the email address CultureandContextSociety@gmail.com, but for some reason it wouldn't let me get the email part working so the briefings were sent from my gmail account. I actually thought it might be better anyway as it might have looked like spam and bee deleted!
In terms of the essay, I am almost done! I half wrote it early last week and then had to start again, now I have about 100 words to go. It was hard finding suitable research for embodied rebellion, but after a lot of searching I found 2 really good articles which were perfect so I was happy then!
Getting nervous that it wont all come together how I want, but I'll just try and make sure all the details are sorted and it should be sweet!
