Lesley's Proposal

WHO: OCAD students/Public

What: Binoculars

Where: Butterfield Park

This experience is to take place outdoors, in butterfield park. There will be a set of 5 or 7 (whichever we can afford) "coin" binoculars (which are actually free) that are all facing towards OCAD. These binoculars are all around the benchlinke ring in Butterfield park underneath the "table top". When looking into them, they will showcase slides of art made by students of the school along with other photographs and works that represent OCAD. From the experience of looking into these binoculars (each with a different set of slides) gives you a quick introduction or preview of what OCAD is all about just as you're walking down the street. You don't need to walk into OCAD to understand what it's all about. The concept is that by "looking" or sight-seeing OCAD, you get to look into it.

THE EXPERIENCE:

persona #1: OCAD STUDENT

- intended reaction would be that they appreciate the work of their colleagues and feel encouraged to incorporate or donate slides of their own work to help represent the scool

persona #2: COMMUNITY MEMBER/TOURIST (WALKING BY)

- intended reaction would be that they are interested in the random arrangement of "sight seeing binoculars", they look at OCAD and see more than they expected, what it's all about and it's contents, rather than its exterior.
