New ideas

Today we tested our small papers with the question "ask something". The test revealed that it is way too abstract. People got really confused and just wrote something like "why is this happening to me". We wanted something more concrete.

The idea about the pieces of paper started to feel not good. There is a huge poster in front of the elevator that goes to Kipsari in where people have wrote expectations of the new Kipsari look. That idea was actually working. People can also read what other people wrote and it's interesting to look at. So we decided to change the small papers to huge posters.

We will try to bring the posters with pens attached to them in the local schools, the library, Entresse, swimming hall, where ever we can. The idea is to get different groups of people to answer the question "what would you like to come here more?" (i'm not sure how to translate this in english, the question would be "mitä haluaisit tänne enemmän?" in finnish"). The posters would be there for 1 week.

I think the interesting point in this is in the differencies/similarities of what different groups of people will say.

We were also thinking that in the end the posters would be exhibited somewhere next to each other, or some ideas would be projected.
