Space between / Camera
Space between – Darkness, lost of space, dangerous, uncared for, leftover, forgotten
Camera – memories, sense of spaces, stories recording,
14th Saturday 2:50AM
The First sight of “the place between” is unforgettable. Enter a complete dark place in a mid Saturday night and try to figure how deep the space is, how far I can go and what is in front of me, the danger might waiting and hiding in the end?
What is there is there just our eyes can not see in darkness when there no a single light, not use to live in dark and wet place, the fair of strange place growth inside of me. If there is a possible way I can find a map a touch or anything to direct me the way in this darkness.

Went back to the Courtenay place in daytime and it was completely different. Same place same spot, but with sunlight on the wall and dry ground.
Then I Suddenly had an idea of producing instant photo with the sense of direction and memories of this place.
I choose to use a instant camera as a tool to record the alleyway, to memories the sense in daytime then to become my map that direct me thought at night, when completely dark.

Taking a picture is relatively straightforward -- these are no-brainer gadgets. With the understanding that the cameras I chosen were designed to be taken less "seriously", I tried not to pay as much attention to the quality of the picture. Of course the size of the film makes a big difference, with the Instant noticeably bigger.

Instant camera
An instant camera is a type of camera with self-developing film. The Polaroid is the most famous camera, which been common used to record the story in diary.
“The invention of modern instant cameras is generally credited to American scientist Edwin Land, who unveiled the first commercial instant camera, the Land Camera, in 1947, 10 years after founding the Polaroid Corporation.”

Instant cameras have found many uses throughout their history. The original purpose of instant cameras can be encapsulated by Jennifer Land's question to her father (Edwin Land): "Why can't I see them now?" Many people have enjoyed seeing their photos shortly after taking them, allowing them to memorise the place they in and people they with.
Pack film cameras operated in a similar manner except for the fact that most of these cameras had automatic exposure. The development of the film required the photographer pull two tabs, the second tab which pulled the positive/negative "sandwich" from the camera, where it developed outside the camera. If the temperature was below 60°F, the positive/negative "sandwich" was placed between two plastic plates and placed either in your
pocket or under your arm to keep it warm while developing. After the required development time (15 seconds - 2 minutes), the positive was peeled apart from the negative.
Polaroid cameras can be classified by the type of film they use. Integral film cameras, such as this SX-70, 600 series camera, Spectra, and Captive cameras went a long way in accomplishing.

The space between
Alley space is between the Italian restaurants and the Tasting room. Stonewort reflected in cons on side of Italian place. Contrast in finish qualities. The Alley is to serve the neighbouring restaurants. Tasting room has lots of service going down the side. Italian café less services + not well maintained.
No ceiling but occasion ally covered by séances coming out of either side. Alleyway is cold and wet. Possibly always dump as never gets direct sunlight to ground. Open at street end but ceiling levels dip down.
Light reading humidity wet and dries black.
A Open - 1840 LUX w=7.8 dry= 8.5
B Ceiling - 560 w=8 dry= 9
C ½ - 422 w=7.5 dry= 8.5
D Street - w=1 dry= 1

Conceptual:
It is a completely dark space. Existing only due to property bounders and the fact that neither building extends do envelop the space.
It has a purpose is that it is used for accident exit, services access and the worker smoke breaks.
It is a narrow space, only wide enough for one person really.
Dark, unwelcoming, dangerous,
So to remember the way and the direction is the most important thing, to do so, as a designer can create a instant map to rescue custom and staff from fire or emergency. The instant photo simply shows the way to escape the building; act likes a compass or a map.
We associate alley ways as dangerous places and would normally recommend getting out the place quickly, also to avoid to stay in the darkness.
Inside/outside spaces Hardly gets direct sunlight
Texture- hard rubbish water drips puddle narrow, cigarette bit, sound water dripping, people inside kitchen noise from traffic.
Material- Concrete is prevalent just black plaster poured. Dark pipe build on side. Weathered exposed to element, plus get enclosed protected at the same time. Wind, covered footpath, lit up by chops, café restaurant contrast in the qualities between.
Complex site- Ambiguity between inside and outside, evident in the ford that compared to when you stand at the entrance, you are still outside but you head could be covered, you protected from rain and away from traffic and pedestrians.
Inside is protection and shelter, outside is exposed.

Design issues.
Q: Demonstration of the experiment processes?
A: measure the scene by camera, as per 5 steps with a photo. Direct in two ways; in and out, walk in circulate.
Q: issues in the experiment of the chosen professional design discipline,
A: The quality of the picture dose not came out as what I expect. So then trying to develop the film is the biggest problem. Also by holding the instant file to replace the scene is one of the problems that the lenses do not match with. Had to focused on object view rather then scene.
Q: through analyses of source materials and tool to interpretation and comparison with other disciplines?
A: The media I chosen is truly record film, which can be fast represent and easy understand by people, compare with the other media such as voice record or video recorder is more convenient to use. by using the instant tool to transfer information in a short period.
