Group 6 - Language

Since I didn't catch your presentation, I took a quick look at your statement. And I find your final idea and direction very compelling. I am very curious to see how you will eventually answer the question of what it means to be human.

I wondered if your own experiences eventually become the main countermap and that by involving others there is a kind of comparison but also a similarity. Or is it more of a countermap of everyone that is supposed to show that we are the same?

I think in general it's beautiful given that you're going to translate the experience through a map. Are you also going to make distinctions, for example, in gender or origin or other elements that distinguish us as people from each other?

By the way, your map white board looks quite organized and I find the visual research very fascinating. I saw that you are going to try an experiment by making drawings of the answers to the questionnaire, what do you hope to get out of it and what are you going to do with those sketches?

Is vulnerability the core of your goal of this countermap or is it to show how we as humans are all alike?

Also, I think your sketches come across as really playful and colorful and I think that's a nice contrast to being human. It also creates a coherence where life should feel a bit more playful and appreciated, because it isn’t always like that.

Do you think loneliness affects how human we feel? And if emotions and feelings could be stored in the organs and muscles, does it influence the way we express our emotions and feelings? Wouldn't our bodies then be under constant internal pressure?

I have based all these questions and comments purely on your board, maybe everything would be a little clearer if I would be at the presentation on time :) But overall you have a lot already and a good foundation, like the concept already!

Group 4 - Body

I really like how far you've come with only two people in the team already! Our narratives lie very close together so it is interesting to see your point of view in being human/body ownership. I noticed both of our group want to use the body as a map, i'm interested if we can come up with a different kind of map to see if we can go further than the ''obvious''. To regard to the sketches to feelings during music, look up Vasily Kadinsky he was a great artist that has made some good compositions on music!

Great research work! you already made a lot of work and sketches. I think using the people around you for your project is smart, but maybe also look at the stories that aren't/can't be told.


Very clear message and research. I feel like both of you guys did an equal amount of work. I love the example of the sketching on music! :)
