Group Meeting

Everyone turned up and it was really good to see everyone and get all their views on what they want the project to be. Julie mentioned how to use the blog in a really productive way, to reflect on what went wrong and the problems which were able to be solved. We also need a wider research of art and design context to fully appreciate what is going on in the whole art world.

At all times we as humans carry 2 pounds of bacteria on our bodies. This sounds disgusting, but also shows how intricately our lives are intwined with mould and bacteria already. It would be interesting to look at conceptual ideas of how disease and mould spread and move as inspiration rather than the actual structure of the mould itself. I want to look at the beauty of it aswell as how to shock people.

The ideas we came up for concerning videos of mould and disease spreading were to do with footprints spreading as more people walk over the same paint, and using a uv pen so the 'germs' are only seen using a certain light.
