I came to class with the initial physical mock up of what my scaled model would fit along the space. It was an interesting class as we had to work together collaboratively to share our hypothetical space. As for my exhibit I had planned to have the sculpture encased in to haptic screens that would serve as a protective case as well. There would be floor graphics that would lead up to it. I had also planned on using noa, a maori word which describes the action of freeing oneself from tapu (restricted, sacred etc) which in this case was a small water bowl that visitors may dip their hands in after touching the haptic interface.
The concept was a bit lacking however as Jason provided feedback that my exhibit design needed to push further than just a traditional object encased in a wall. I began to look into more organic shapes and aiming to create a more lasting experience for the visitor. There was also the issue of height (it was too low for the 1:10 scale we were using) and space around the exhibit that would limit the flow of visitors. I was sharing the space with another exhibit and we hadn't really managed to make a 1.2m gap in between that would allow space for visitors to walk past comfortably.
