Short Ideas Post #1

This is the first in what will probably balloon out into being a plethora of my random thoughts and ideas that I've jotted down during idle brainstorming sessions. These are mainly for myself, so they are probably largely unintelligible to anyone else, as well as the fact that they are mostly unformed at this point,  intended for later culling or remoulding into newer, better ideas. Basically, this is straight from my brain onto this blog. You have been warned.

All of the following are for the International Mountain Day, which I'm fairly certain I'm doing now. Fairly.

- Locative art / media - placing virtual information or objects in environment - interactive mountain? (ugh, maybe not in those words) (DEFINITELY not in those words)

- Waypoints, broadcast? - Digital cairn on peak?

- Something to do with nodes, marking out a route

- Room ambiance - walls are “living” views of mountain-scape (screens, discreet projections?), accompanied by ambient sounds, air currents, wind gusts.

- Game-like object - Shaping mountains (continental collision, terrain deformation) by hand / with virtual interface - see how mountains form, contours - collaborative interaction creating unique virtual / miniature landscapes.

- Psychogeography / subjective geography - tracking the routes people take up, down and across mountains - contours, lines / heat maps (showing how long they stop for and where?)?

- Something to do with geological Deep Time and the formation of mountains… timeline? timelapse? timey-wimey-wibbly-wobbly? get back to me on this one, brain.

Filing all this under "More investigation required."
