Pop Up!

Starting my design research and inspiration for Future Life I have been looking at bottle art and installations, in the form of sculptures and pop up art. Here are some images that inspired in some shape or form;

Above is what I imagined when I first thought about my design concept. I thought; What would this bottle bank of memories look like? I instantly pictured hundreds of thousands of bottles all standing in a row, bottles above, bottles below; a whole wall filled with bottles.

I like this artist's work. It takes the stacked bottles and tranforms into a shape, allowing movement imbetween these structures.

 Hanging bottles or suspending them in this way gives a dream like feeling to the installation.

I like the machine that carries the bottles through the factory to the packing bay. I like the flow of all these bottles, they way they move in unison, curving like a snake. A kind of metaphor for memories and how they are carried round from person to person. A flow of constant information.

I like the shape of this structure, the form that has been created is portraying a sort of flow of the bottles. Travel.

Another interesting, inspiring structure shape. This could be quite a good structure for my installation if it were on a much larger scale.

 A pop up cinema makes use of a derelict petrol station.

I like the way the architects have used materials sourced from the site and other waste materials to creat this really quirky cinema. Petrol stations across the country have potential for many different uses.

Soundboard

I like how this brings the public in and allows them to become part of the installation, making it interactuve aswell as educational in a way. 

London Subway Art

An underground train station in London was used to display numerous pieces of art. What this photo inspired me in was a site for my installation. Train stations are extremely busy places, lots of human traffic, people coming and going. Lots of links, places they have been, places they are going. No one stops for a long length of time and takes note of all the people going their way or another. A train station could be an ideal place.

Lego

An advertising design for lego. I dont really see the link between lego and this 'cube' other than the Logo and website. But mayby that is the whole point. The cube is bold enough to attract people, they wonder what it is, go to look and see it's Lego.
