Having read the handouts, looked around the various links posted on blackboard by Linda and reading your last two posts we seem to be close to determining what we are actually going to do. As Juan pointed out physical interaction simply appears to being pointing and clicking without affecting the meaning, which is evident here on the TalkToFrank website where nothing is challenged or changed.
Including a simple form of physical interaction which allows the user an increased input and communicative interaction, seems to be the way to go. The magazine we looked at last week, Adbusters, has a website which encourages communicative interaction through grass roots subversive advertising, here is the link. The website mainly deals with culture jamming and invites users to submit their pieces of work which they then showcase. There is a lot of material on here some good some bad but it is worth a look.
I looked through the links on your previous posts i.e. bubble project, postsecret. I liked the simplicity of allowing users to generate the content, however the effectiveness of such sites is limited to the amount of content their users generate as well as the quality of such content. If we to go down the route of a highly user generated content then getting it viewed and used would be of high importance.
I think the idea of disrupting the link between actual and virtual modalities is an interesting one and would propose we develop the ideas of the changeable logo, advertising a concept and temporary website as they reflect a disruption of expectation regarding the practices of advertising.
Hope everyone is well,
farewell pilgrims,
M.A. Barrington.
