Urban Reviewing Updates
PEER REVIEWS
The feedback I received from peer reviews was very positive. The most important point everyone made was that there is a lot of concentration on suicide.
If the view-masters all had suicidal scenes, then the whole thing would become too predictable.
They all expressed that they would rather see more of the small scenes that make the city dark.
Scenes as such included from the feedback for example a person dead or injured on the floor and people passing by next to them without helping them.
Also other examples would be someone stealing a cab from a pregnant woman, or cursing someone behind their back by giving them the finger, and also a man molesting a woman. etc...
They also all liked the idea of the "where is waldo" type of thing and encouraged the scenes to be very subtle, and to have the user possible go through the reel more than once in case they missed something.
A person also mentioned the possible relation the 7 locations can have with the 7 deadly sins as a theme.And so I think after this feedback I felt like I agreed with the idea that there was too much concentration being made on suicide, and it becomes more about that than about anomie.
So I'm going to take a step back and think of what I can do with the feedback they gave me.
SYMPOSIUM
Thinking of how to present the project at the symposium, I made a floor plan and a photoshop mock up.
I am also working on the poster look and feel (although i am still not sure how the poster fall into place) and the map for the locations of the view-masters.
I attached some sketches that I had made also about the content of the scenes, but I need to revisit that after the feedback I got from peer reviews.
PERMIT
Regarding the permit, I talked to Ms. Emily Colassaco, and it turns out the permit I need falls under ARTERVENTIONS
And here is the link:

I would need to present documentation of exact locations with photoshop mockup and preferably a letter or signature from parsons.-Grace
