Our first idea was to constrain and play with the element of surprise with our inflatable, similar to how we did in our push/pull part 1 pieces. We were thinking that this piece could be constrained between two columns of a window on the first floor and could have hidden reflective or colorful pieces that only appear in daylight as an element of surprise on a piece of white fabric.
Our second idea took the cone/spike shapes we both used in part 1 and expanded the idea to be like stalagmites protruding from the ceiling. We would somehow hang our inflatable from the ceiling using hooks or loops and we were thinking of having strings that could pull these cones out to make the inflatable interactive with passersby.
Our third idea again uses our interest in interactivity, surprise, and large round shapes. We were thinking of making a freestanding egg-shaped inflatable in one of the open areas by the couches on the first floor. The inflatable would be hollow on the inside, with a zipper attached so that when opened up, a person could go inside.
