Notes from the crit

--Idea of mill as a site--or a place within a place.
This is very true and is an interesting way of looking at it. Roland talked about the satellites and although I edited it out, he also talked about the areas (Burgess, Cascade etc) being separated ethnically like the neighborhoods were.

--Has the feeling of a memorial-there is nothing wrong with memorials.
How do you created the fully ritualized experience?

--Are the sounds actually tied to specific sites as previously mentioned? It seems like the stories/sounds were more general.

--What is the user experience? What will the vats holding the paper look like, will there be a gatehouse where the headsets are given out?
(Weird because there is a tiny little gatehouse near the wood yard that would be good for something like that.)

--What is the potential for this as a gallery installation (especially with other people doing similar things?

--Memorial as marker--maybe this is the moment--voice to collective memory

--(For gallery space) Have interactive elements not just paper but maybe you can leave your own story.

--This seems important since things are moving quickly and will change. . . now seems like the time for this type of project (because later attention might shift to protest of development, moving ahead etc)

--How do you transform the reflective moment to progressive thought?

--Maybe people are not thinking forwardly because of the way the questions were framed but also because it might not be the right time for that.

Harold Fletcher? (Wow, no idea what names were said)
John Moulpe ? (Totally made that last name up)
