The focus of my research is murals, specifically justifying murals in a digital age through how they act as interactive environments. I delved into murals and graffiti, researching their history and relations to environments, looking at how people have used both as a means to modify their surroundings and encourage dialogue. I also looked into how people, both as individuals and as groups, respond to murals as a physical entity and to the messages they carry. I also discussed their role in areas in conflict and the more recent movement of community-backed mural groups.

We discussed our proposal concepts as a group and brainstormed ideas to further our concepts. I need to try to figure out something, fluid, moveable, and can change and alter from 2- or 3-Dimensional.

We split into groups and discussed each of our proposals to move forward into our studio phase. Going into Studio, I want to look into how to encourage people to reevaluate their surroundings and question their meaning, both in personal and wider contexts, by altering the environment around them.
