The research, in theory, brought many questions and ideas on how to schedule and plan the first workshop.
The partners in the research are James and Marius from Playla.bz, who facilitate the part connected to Augmented Reality experiences.
My humble gratefulness goes to Arts Council England Rochester Square ceramic studio and to www.playLa.bz James Edward Marks and Marius Matesan
The workshop’s main focus was to test the grounds of the ongoing research and to provide a safe environment for participants to try to recall their memories.
The ten-person settings included four tables for tactile experiences and work with clay and two points for experiments with augmented reality. Hololens and mobile phones with the ARVID app.
Below are the links to the workshop environment and outcomes from working with clay.
I also prepared sketchbooks from handmade paper with 8-12 pages for each participant. The handmade paper pages have little pieces of flowers, plants and hairs. The state of not being able to remove hair from the page might trigger some unconscious memories. The feedback was positive, and I will share a few insights into the memory recollection sketchbook insights, but later within the project timeline.
The most popular activity with many commentaries was playing with sand and building the castle. The video is by participant sculptor Barbara Beyer.
