Week 8

When Maeda uses the “Feel, and feel for” principle, he is drawing on peoples
connection to a very personal experience: feelings. List 3 ways that would make
use of this principle to visitors of your exhibition.
- Territory Feel, Dress Formaly (not thongs,etc.), Make them feel welcometo the exhibition
What is animism? Why do you think the “Tamagocchi” craze of the ‘90s became
such a craze? How can you apply this to your exhibition?
- Animism: the attribution of a soul to plants & inanimate objects. Tamagocchi was such a craze because people could buy won, in doing so they could raise a virtual pet without actually taking full responsibility for it, eg. you could leave it for a week and come back and it would still be alive, the only thing that would have changed is it would have a hungry/food symbol on the screen.
Name 2 products that you have purchased that gave you that feeling of “Aichaku”.
What feelings did those products evoke? Was it the feeling that sold the product
to you?
- I can only think of 1 thing that i have bought that has given me the feeling of “Aichaku” and that is my computer. I grew up using my computer, and it was my source of entertainment, so in a way i have become attached to it. I didn't have these feelings for it until after i bought it.
