Dialog FInal Critique

At the final critique for the Dialog project, we were asked a series of questions relating to our projects. 

How is dialog created? 
Many of the projects used the theories of Gestalt to create a lot of dialog between parts, pieces and portions of their projects to create a conversation, or dialog. 

The space is defined....the spaces were the trickiest part of this project and many people defined negative spaces and gaps as spaces, others thought that by making circles or squares with thir skewers or paper or both, created a space. 

The systems were generated by lots of "flow". 

How does the joinery support the project concept/strategies?
The joinery for most of our projects was done in a stacking or attached manner. The strategy was to join the parts but not to create more than two spaces. After some time, we had to decide what was constituted as a space. 

How is scale utilized in the project? 
In the case of my project in particular, my skewers have a 'DNA/twisting' center that creates a large system; allowing the wrapped paper to match its scale. 

How do two-dimensional images add to the understanding of the project? 
The images we created allowed everyone to see where the overlapping of parts occurs, how they are "speaking" to one another and so forth. 

How did the initial project idea evolve? 
A lot of people based theirs off of their unity project previous to this project. Almost as if they created a modernized version of their previous model. My project was similar to my unity project in that it was two parts and there was the use of proximity to some extent. I based my model off of the word "support".
