Psychogeographical Map - Jennie

1.) As we walked down the hallway that changed colours, I felt as if I was entering a club because of the loud music and flashy colours. The blue lights made me feel mellow, and sad, however as soon as they changed to green I felt a bit sickly, and the red made me anxious and excited.
2.) I then entered the room we were meant to “experience.” The first thing to catch my eye was this big circular table directly in front of me. I also noticed a keyboard, so I walked up to that and started to push the keys at random. As I did this, I noticed that inside the circular box there was goo that moved up and down in a spiral-flower pattern. The goo would pump out in different places and amounts depending on what key I pressed. This was cool, but then I decided to move on.
3.) Next, I stopped at a station called Disco DJ. I had absolutely no idea what I was meant to do. The green light kept flashing, and the controls didn’t seem to work so I got really frustrated and left.
4.) I continued to walk around until I found another station that caught my eye. This one was called Pipe Dreams. It was a bit confusing at first because the screen and the camera station were not noticeably connected. However, David and I managed to figure out that if you took a picture, it would then transfer to the screen in bubbles. We thought this was quite cool because you could see your face up on the massive screen.
5.) Furthermore, I stopped at the stress level station. I sat down here, but quickly realized it was a bad experience because the screen and the mouse weren’t working properly. I would recommend upgrading to a touch screen to make this more user-friendly. To be frank, I found this whole stress level station really quite stressful-trying to figure out the buttons and controls.
6.) Next I wandered over to the smelling machine. It was cool, until I got a headache from smelling the different boxes. According to the chart, I liked flowers the most.
7.) By this time I was getting quite bored, so I was ready to leave. On my out I saw a TV that was showing a film of an individual yawning over and over again. I watched it for a few minutes, and then subconsciously started to yawn. This experience was frustrating as I was not tired, nor did I feel the need to yawn before I watched the film. Then I became tired, so I left.
