Collection Ideas: Phase 01 / Phase 02

Phase 01 jan 14, 2011
Fortune Cookies and quotes
Shoe Lifts: Make someone look taller, polio, war, circus acts, person with limp
Coins: collection from foreign countries
Coffee Mugs
Keychains
Dream: Documentation through a journal or recording
Street signs and traffic lights: How they have changed overtime and how meanings have altered
Ticket stubs / concert tickets
Collection of cords
Business cards / reward cards
Captcha: a program that protects websites against bots by generating and grading tests that humans can pass but current computer programs cannot. A way to collect whatever people are scanning ex. words from a book / journal


Phase 02 jan 18, 2011
Dreams: Documentation through journal or recording. Categorize through type of dream, what you remembered, the meaning behind the dream, the outcome: positive/ negative, specify length of dream by timing it or how long it felt you were asleep, and how you woke up.


Ghosts: Document through personal experience, giving characteristics to made up ghosts or situations, video, audio, recording, story behind location and person who is being haunted, the ghosts point of view, state of the ghost: purpose of why they are there.


**Wishes: The idea of TOUR OF THE GLOBE through wishes. How and where people wish, culturally, tribal, by continent, rituals, customs, made up scenarios and characters. Ex. shooting stars, fountains, wishing wells, mental trigger and myths that a wish will come true if the numbers on a clock are all the same, like 3:33, or 11:11. 


Fear: Documenting this through facing the fear or having an object the person is comfortable with then having actual object they are afraid of. Through pictures rather than actual object, writing, have a journal to draw in their fears--that alone becomes an exhibit of personal expression and talents by people who have the fear.
