Psychology of seeing.....

So, after having a think about this new direction my work was taking and talking to my tutors I got in contact with Greg over at Forensic Art, which 'is perhaps most well known for work in facial reconstruction, the process of rebuilding a face from the skull, both to aid forensic identification and archaeological investigation' but they also do various exercises in police questioning and psychology, which is an area I have discovered while researching my slightly different theme. I'd like to develop the idea of people visualising something and how they then record that or, possibly, some interactive piece whereby the participant is unaware of the whole picture of which they are interacting, while an audience can see the results.



I was advised to ensure there was a definite element of 'play' in my work, and that the participants made the experience their own, as opposed to guiding them to the outcome. Anyway, initially I am going to meet Greg tomorrow and have a chat to see what advice or pointers in this area he can give.
