It was Saturday and it turned out to be the most intense of all three days. Having spent the time before mostly with discussing ideas, today they came to live. The timeframe only allowed for sketches, but it was important to try them out in 1:1 scale and in real space. Here is what happend...

Streetfood
A timeline made of pasta. Pizzas as information graphics and sausages to create a world-sausage-consumption exhibit. Very nice way of using the actual content in a surprising way to irritate and attract the audience. Tasty.

Tristan da Cunha
An island isolated and small like a stamp. An island making a living of collector’s stamps. An a beautiful idea to take this into an exhibition concept. Instead of a ticket visitors would get a set of postcards and a magnifying glass. They would find themselves in an almost empty room, isolated. But then with the help of the magnifying glass they could spot the little stamps placed on walls and ceilings, which are the pictures to make the story written on the postcards complete.

Bloodlines
Bloodlines would guide the visitor throught the rooms (the structure of which was modelled after the teachers office in the school). Blood would be in the images, in the wallpaper, in the orientation system. Overall it was a good, surprising step from a royal’s magazine to this exhibition design - and I am not writing down that it was a bloody good idea. that would be too...

Information access
People in exhibitions do not read much. But they need some information, some guidance, and some storytelling. So how to challenge them? How to present text in a different way, even more text? This group developed some forms to display text I ways that would require the visitor to really get involved. E.g. text that was split up on several transparent layers spread out in space, which can only be read as one from one point in the room.

Methods for death penalty / Trivia
The group decided that trivia should be everywhere and that it would come out even stronger if it was not treated as serious content in a white-cube-exhibition but if it was spread in guerilla style throughout the school, the city, the world. The restroom was just a start. By the way, did you know that duels are legal in Paraguay if both participants are blood donors ?

Bombs vs. Industrial Revolution
The group decided to work on the more abstract issue of multiperspective exhibitions. The contents of their exhibition would be presented on the floor and ceiling of the exhibition at the same time. The visitor must walk around, change perspective, to get a wider picture. Their video piece was hypnotic.
