Shuttle Idea List

I really love the idea of manipulating the shuttle somehow to where people can't really get on or off the shuttle and we record it somehow. We would need to get together and see what is exactly safe or smart for doing an experiment like this on the shuttle. An example of this is seen on this :

Another thought for the piece would be to have a performance of some kind that truly freaks out the visitors on the shuttle. There is some aspect of making the audience feel unnerving that really intrigues us. This could be done by sitting in the back of the bus with some dark clothing, with our heads down being silent and seeing how people initially react to it.

I also like the idea of trying to project something on the bus and using it as a projection screen of some kind but I wonder about protecting the equipment and really trying to outfit the shuttle to handle that type of work. I think something simple and clean would really work for that idea. An example included here of one that I like :

I think a simple idea to get done on time and really fast would just to show our work on a dvd or create a nice demo reel that people respond to. This could even expand out to a piece that interacts with sound and play it and watch how people react to it. Maybe the audience reacts to brighter colors, different types of line work, whether or not it is pure particles or if it is something that is identifiable right off the bat. There are many options with this and it could even stretch into making it a large social event.
