1- Idat 210 - Initial Thoughts

A very open brief for this project. Being skilled in mainly software it would have to be that sort of outcome. With stong interests in the way we use both the digital environment and our real world environment i would like to experiment with connections between the two. Whether it is by looking at the way we navigate through those environments, or what we use them for.

Navigation would be a keystroke or a mouse click from page to page moving our way gradually getting to the final page. It could be knowing which page you want to co to and typing in its address getting there instantly or it could be a more indirect route via a search engine. while real world navigation could be a physical movement to a destination directly by walking, controlling your every turn and movement. It could be getting on a bus or train, obviously you know where its going but you have no real control over how it gets to the destination.

What interfaces are there in our real world?

Interface a definition: a thing or circumstance that enables separate and sometimes incompatible elements to coordinate effectively- http://dictionary.reference.com/

For this project I wan too look at the journey I make through the digital world and real world and see if there are any connections or correlations, or just see how they compare. I have been asked to select a number of keywords which will guide my thoughts through this project and hopefully lead my down some interesting paths of exploration.

- Interface

- Environment

- Journey

- Keylogging

- Social Networking
