"I'd be tempted to go hairy
and sparkly".
CG: We
walk into town. Heather notices an image of a globe on a
cardboard box in some rubbish
beside a scruffy building
in the
industrial area we have to walk through to get to the town centre.
The globe has the words 'Poles Apart' above and below.
The ribbon around the globe has the words Magnets (UK) Ltd. Heather
takes the box with her with an idea that it could be adapted for
a logo or brand image for the Maakin Lab.
SB: This is
a day of highs for most everyone. The group is very integrated
and works really well at all levels together. The technicians
are willing and helpful and the atmosphere between everyone is
very generous. This spirit of spontaneous and cumulative generosity
still always surprises me at every Lab. The response continues
to be a 'given' in every group, regardless of disciplines
and physical environments.
I speak to Carole about the possible
value of looking at 14 years of PAL as a research project.
I being to explore the possibility
of this as an action research PhD using PAL as a longitudinal
study. I imagine this research and the production of an e-book
(possibly
using TK3 software developed by Bob Stein, with whom I created
a series of interactive media research labs using this tool)
as a useful and integral part of my work with PAL over the
next few
years. This possibility is very liberating and challenging.
