Base on the initial proposal I, I tried to ask different people from a number of countries to answer the questions below and take me a video.

Do you like to daydream? What do you normally think when you are doing nothing?
你愛發白日夢嗎? 當你靜止下來最常想到的是什麼?
After all, I’ve my third tutorial session with Jonathan. Talking about my idea for the interim show. I decided to do a interactive piece with a daydream chair for visitors to sit and feel the emotions with the space in 30 second of doing nothing.
In tutorials we speak about the difficulties of interactive artpiece, but I decided to do this as a trial and experimentation. To see how people respond. It is quite interesting to see how people react to the projectins and installation. I noticed that it would be nice to set a camera to collect data next time.
So talking to the process, Jonathan suggest me to focus on the universal objects I mentioned. What and how to makes these common universal objects special to the space?
I did some researches on surrealist objects and start collecting the ‘objects’ from the garbbage bin downstairs a carpark when I’m staying at my friend’s place in london(it is also interesting to see how Londoners like to stock up interesting unused materials, I’m pretty sure they dont use it by the way..) For sure I did some set up at home first despite the fact that my friend judging me as a messy flatmate. Rome doesn’t build in one day, preperation is very important so I spent a week after the tutorial to play with all the objects above.
So in setting up the installation and the video it depends a lot on the site itself. This time we work with our fellows to locate our space and I got this nice vintage room alone in the corner share with dwa. I decided not to block the daylight though mostly my fellows suggested me to.
Daydream is supposed to be happened during the day, the interesting effect of the video mixed with the daylight creates a really dreamy effect in which I also feel surprised with. During the process Jonathan is very helpful, he introduced me to the rapsberry pi, a small media player which transfer the video back to the projector.
