Getting ready for the presentation...
This morning we had a session at the Caferağa Medrese where everyone got their name written as calligraphy. Well, that was cool but not much of an addition to our projects, I think. The food was good though :)

In Touch With Calligraphy
Currently we're working at the concept stage of our IDSS project.
We thought about Calligraphy being something mainly visual and thus not really something a blind person can usually experience. While thinking about Braille and reliefs, we came up with the idea to provide some sort of a synesthetic experience of Calligraphy.
In Touch With Calligraphy is the working title for our project. We want to create a sort of booth that shuts out all the outside sensory distractions, and presents the visitor with a vibrant experience of Calligraphy.
The key sensory impression of the ITWC booth is not the light though; it's about touching! In the back of the room the visitor finds a moving panel with different pieces on it - all being made of different materials; and therefore, different kinaesthetic experiences. There are also going to be fans on both sides to project wind at the visitor. Everything is going to be accompanied by sound, in accordance to the piece of Calligraphy shown.
In the picture you can see a quick sketch of the booth.
Over and Out,
Georg

Sakip Sabanci Museum
Yesterday we went to look at the calligraphy collecton at the Sakip Sabanci museum. I think the trip was very useful and interesting, but the guide was rushing through the exhibition a bit. I feel like I understand more about calligraphy and the history behind it. (the boat trip was nice as well, huge city...)
About the course in general. I think its very interesting and improving my knowledge, the only thing I can complain about is the fact that nothing is staying on schedule. Its a pity, because we need all time we can get, especially for the concept development. I don't know if its only me who feels a bit stressed about keeping deadlines whitout working all night, but I guess I will calm down when we get started tomorrow. :)
