AROS - The meat installation

AROS - The meat installation

• The form aspect
- Size
- Surfaces
- Inputs
- Structural elements (columns, immersion)
- What elements could create or define space?
A very large high room, walls which is about 8-10 meter high, but open in the one side, so it does not feel like one room, but more a part of a larger room. The floor looks like polished concrete. It is very white, but illuminated with cold artificial light.

• The practical functional aspect
The space where the meat installation was situated at, was a very traditional museum space, where the installation was encased in wires to signal to the viewers, that they are not allowed to get close to, or touch the installation. There was a small path all the way around the installation, that invites the viewers to walk around the installation to see it from different perspectives.

• The scenographic-social aspect
- How can one understand the conceptual rituals?
- What are the rituals performed in the space?
- What expectations do people have, what should they do in the space?
- How can space indicate a certain behavior? Color, sound, light content?
The installations are enclored with wires, and podiums, to keep people from touching the installations. The installations are made as displays.

• The iconographic-important aspect
- How can a facility use known symbols?
- How can the involvement of symbols influence the use of a space?
???

• The visual-experiential or aesthetic aspect
- Visual aesthetics versus interaction aesthetics?
- We need to think how aesthetics underpin the desired use of the space
You feel “little” in the large room, making the room a dominant character.
