Aquarium Project - after visiting there
I. After visiting the long beach aquarium what I felt missing there was INTERACTION which is not only between visiting people and fishes but also among different fishes.
1) Fish vs Fish Interaction. & Place vs Place Transition.
Obviously, different fishes should be placed and displayed saperately to protect them from being eaten from other fishes but I wanted to learn and feel all the fishes as parts of a whole ecosystem. For example, what is the food chain among them, how different fishes make friends to each other, and so on. I wanted to have fun playing some interactive work that I can learn and see those interactions among fishes which we should be careful not to make it look too violent.
Walking through the different tunnels of the aquarium I felt it would be great of each places to have some connection to the next places that makes smooth transition. I wanted to know what ocean and how deep I should get into the ocean to actually meet the fishes I was watching. I believe there must be reasons for the order of arrangement for the different fish tunnels/tanks and that could be good start to make those transition.
2) Fish vs People Interaction.
From the little interactions like talking fish switch and kiosk touch screen to the big one like actual interactions with fishes through transparent water tank, this interaction between fish and people must be the most compelling interaction we could have from aquarium. I felt there were not enough of them, though.
3) People vs People Interaction.
I wanted to see people visiting aquarium actually communicating with each other by playing a very simple but cooperative game together which is fun and also can learn a message while playing it.
II. Who are the TARGET people for the project?
How can we make audience with different ages and cultures to participate the interactive work together without feeling too bored or too challenged? How can we make certain messages delivered correctly to different age groups?
III. How can we achieve bigger SYNERGY EFFECT by making this project work well with the actual display of various fishes?
I think what to buy would be a matter after deciding what to make. Also Obviously, what to make must be affected by how much we have.
