Collected Notes

A collection of my longhand notes from the past week, in order (note: you may need to enlarge them to see anything. Also, my handwriting may be pretty illegible in places)

Aim and core idea (?)

The aim of the project is the bring awareness to one of the main aspects of International Mountain Day - the idea of mountains as important to life.

One idea I had for this is as follows (pasted directly from notes, so forgive fragmentation):
Interactive landscape - game-like - participants can change details at will - put a mountain here, take away a mountain there, put a volcano there - and see how that change effects everything else - climate, habitability, desertification, all that stuff. Brings awareness to importance of mountains to life by showing what mountains do in terms of climate, wind-direction, fertility, water, etc. and how their appearance or disappearance could have disastrous or beneficial effects over a long period.

One way of implementing this could involve something similar to the interactive tabletop video I embedded earlier on this blog.
