Thoughts on design

My supervisor has been asking me what I’m thinking about design.  I’ve put a very detailed initial design concept up on the wiki.  I thought a brief run down would be in order though.

• computer keys like Esc or letters that can be used to sit and stand on in space
• a blue network cable spiderweb
• A wall for posting on
• costume design cyber punk, school uniforms that make links to current digital media
• motherboards, keyboards, mouses, mobile phones, network cables all attached to costume
• Parody movies
• filmed web based things such as myspace, facebook, MSN, etc
• sounds and music will also be used

I just want to reflect on the idea of the web.  I think it is a good metaphor for our show because it relates to the fact that the action sometimes takes place on the wwweb, also that there is this web narrative, but most off all that the characters feel trapped and that they possible don’t have the power to escape the web.

An image also comes to mind of possibly the last moment in the performance being the character who commits suicide standing on the Esc key as if about to jump or hang and then disconnecting his network cable and black.
