fluidity between groups within exhibit

After meeting with Tasmania Sojourn group, it is a concern to have fluidity or an understanding of what will be represented on the timelines between Parallel Lives and Tasmania Sojourn.  Right now both groups want to have a timeline, maybe we can decide tomorrow or correspond online about this.  In order to better serve the spectators of the museum what can we do?

-have one timeline?
-keep two serperate timelines that stay on different topics?
-incorporate a similar theme between the two timelines to ensure it's fluid to the viewer?

If we are to have a similar theme between the timelines, maybe we can address the idea of catastrophists, unifortmitarianists, science and religion?

*Just throwing ideas out there

  1. Hi Fiona, thanks for getting this discussion going. Maybe our two groups could meet together for a few minutes right before or after class?

    I think it would definitely be good to use the same sort of color/material to physically portray the timeline for both our exhibits, so that the flow between them is visually appealing. Parallel Lives has a central timeline with George's life events at the top and Alice's at the bottom; I mean, there is only one line, but two separate things, if that makes sense. I imagine your component of the exhibit wouldn't be making such a clear distinction between the two of them?

  3. Hi Fiona, I'm not sure that our groups have reached clarity on this subject yet? If you've heard anything new since we last talked about this, please do let me know. My email's ferghus at [the typical ending for CSU email addresses] if that is an easier discussion format. Thanks! =)
