Today,
We discussed John Maeda’s ‘The Laws Of Simplicity’ – Law 8 Trust.
Questions:
1. Provide an example of a situation where you have to have trust – in the same
vein as the author in his swimming lesson example.
What made you trust in this situation and how did you feel?

Rock-climbing, You need to rely on the person – your anchor at the bottom to belay you so you do not fall and injure yourself. My Friends made me trust they gave me reinforcement and they told me if they couldn’t handle my weight up that high.
Other people said: Doctors/ medics, you have to trust that they’ll fix you. Nude Models, trust that maturity would be kept. Teachers appear to know everything, constantly learning, family teaches you things, scuba diving trust the instructor to tell you the truth, skydiving. Dentists – trust that they would not hurt him in Australia.
2. Where in our exhibition do we need to instill trust?
Give examples. How are we going to achieve this?
We need to trust that EVERYONE is going to do an equal part in this exhibition, to ensure that deadlines are met and that it goes off without a hitch. Especially on the night we need to trust that the utmost is being done by all parties. There could be an On the Night Checklist and a solid communication system so communications don’t break down and vitals of the exhibition do not get completed.
Other people said: People trust us to put on a show – good marketing – make them think ( instill trust ) that the exhibition is worthwhile. Movie trailers- trust that they’re perceiving the movie properly in the trailers. Talked about root canals – student nurses –
3. What strategies are used to instill trust? Examples? Where do we need to employ this in Ten Squared? How are we going to do this?
Other people need to be interested and with that we need to interest tham with our work and other things for them to do. Food/ Drink and Music would create the ambience we need to attract people. To instill other peoples trust in us we need to offer things that people like. Like Honey To The Bees.
Other people said: trust exercises – wine – food – no donation boxes – appears opportunistic (for charity ) – 3rd world country – jetstar charges you for everything- staff was rude on the plane – team of people to ‘muster’ people into the exhibition food and drink – trust people -
4. If you could “undo” any aspect of the preparation for the exhibition to-date, what would you “undo”? With this in mind, what would you change now in your preparation strategy to overcome having to “undo” anything?
Undo: other art areas being involved, I feel that we should of just putted on a small exhibit with the IDM and the Design students, having other areas involved complicates things when they don’t show consistent effort.
Strategy: Try my best and hope that others do the same. I cant sit back and do the minimum and hope for the best so I’m hoping that this turns out well.
Other people said: Go through experiences help you to gain experiences in the real world.
5. Homework: How are you using the laws in relation to your contribution to The Ten Squared exhibition? Provide a short explanation and example for each of the laws so far.
1 Reduce
Reducing my Exhibition idea to ensure the outcome is positive.
Reducing the amount of time I waste on things that aren’t important.
2 Organise
Organise the tasks that need to be done in order of priority, checklists help me to not get overwhelmed.
3 Time
Time is saved by only going over things once, not ten.
4 Learn
I’ve learned that people don’t realise how much work has to be done.
5 Differences
The Idea of the exhibition is simple, the putting-it-together is the complex factor.
6 Context
I want the exhibition to adopt the “comfortably lost” principle because we want people to feel comfortably lost in our work.
7 Emotion
We want to incorporate some form of feeling in our exhibit as the emotions people feel when they will be looking at our work. They NEED to feel emotions when they look at our work.
8 Trust
We MUST trust that everyone will do theyre part.
Logistics Report:
Design team went to sponsors, got some positive feedback. Sponsorship discussion on how were going to pick up the other art faculties sponsorships slack which I find is un fair as the sponsors that we’ve gotten so far are solely for the design group, as we were assigned them. The sponsors we have will not cover the entire exhibition expenses.
This video shows team building of 2 guys on wire trusting that the other one is going to ensure their safety. I think its funny how the guy on the left screams because hes scared.
OVER AND OUT!
