1. Session - Brainstorming

On Tuesday we started brainstorming round calligraphy and getting ideas for the project.
At the beginning it seemed to be very difficult to synchronise our different views on the topic, so we just talked about calligraphy and our views in general.
Luckily we had a good discussion and soon we had plenty idea. We started to think outside the box and decided on working in a 3-dimensional spatial environment, instead of the usual 2- dimensional approach to calligraphy.
One idea was to record the user's brainwaves and convert it to calligraphy ...although we don't know how to do that :) ...yet!!
A main point is to create a temporary application, referring to the cultural background of calligraphy. It doesn't mean that the artwork has to be destroyed, but is manipulated by the user's input and therefore constantly changing. NO recording, NO filming. It's all about the user's current experience.
