Hi my names Huseyin. My intervention in Chatham looked at how people respond to and interact with signs.
My intervention involved changing the women's toilet signs in to the men's and vice-versa. This was to see if students who use these facilities on a daily basis would believe the signs they see, or believe themselves and their past experiences.
To do this I used sticker paper and copied the signs that were already used in Chatham to make it as believable as possible.
A Guy walks into the toilet only to find a woman already in there washing her hands. So decides to stand there until she finishes.
One girl is confident that this is the girl's toilet, the other, not so much.
This workshop is part of msa event month 2010, it focuses on students developing an ability to not simply represent and explore the physicality of space, but to engage and participate directly with it. Activities will demonstrate an assortment of guerrilla tactics applied by various creative fields encouraging participants to react to sites of their choosing in exciting and new ways. We want to create unique forms of representation, methods of engagement and participative interventions.
