BRIEF : Design a way to materialise the blockchain.
WEEK 3
After a good feedback insight, we took our Monday morning by researching how we can incorporate experiential research in Brixton and make meaningful participation, giving exactly what we are looking for.
As we were collaborating on miro with ideations, we met online discussed a few of our imaginations. Gabriella showed her interest in an idea for Brixbank. A reciprocity trading system where people earn tokens by providing and can spend the credits on whatever is offered, more like a care system.
As we discussed the ideation, it made me curious to visualise myself, and I tried cracking it through my understanding.
I started developing my thoughts on building platforms that allow different people to connect and make a mutual deal and the events recorded on the blockchain. It sounds pretty straightforward, but making it possible in reality was not easy to execute.
Earn our trust to earn our wallets
Take care of the people who take care of us
I researched more about the events which have been successful in Brixton and came up with Brixtopia, a Music festival like Cross the hack. While working on the concept we talked about the Time Banking UK, checking out how is it win action.
Let’s experience Brixton in REAL!
For the second half of the day, we prepared our next days plan of ‘street research’ itself in Brixton.
We managed to pick few minimal things and go out to street to talk to people
Some white shirts; hangers; colour pens or pigments; cardboards;
Camera &/ Phones;
Notebooks &/ Sketch books (for recording or sketching what we get);
Speaker (for playing music)
What is special about Brixton?
We Planned our visit in noon and started with our lunch from random chit selection of different culture cuisine, as brixton has diverse range of restaurant. We ended up having Thai meals in brixton village.
We pumped ourselves up for the next challenge of interacting with peopled absorbing the local-feel.
How we did a street research!
We had a background sheet saying, share your culture! with t-shirts lying on the ground for people to share their story about their culture, play music, share their thoughts on how they feel about Brixton's multiculturality.
Being from another country and doing a street experimentation in really new surrounding of Brixton, London was not at all easy going tasks. There were negative responses too, but the most exciting thing was how people were willing to share their excitement towards their own culture and see others emotions too.
