Hi Guys,
Been trying to have a think over the weekend about how we could make public the research we do about the relationship between people and pubs. First thoughts so just go with it for now!
First thought was something about somehow making people at certain pubs aware of who the 'locals' were, maybe at different times / different days. Could bring people together somehow to see who they're sharing a 'lounge' with, as Jonny said that many people see the pub as a second lounge for themselves.
Second thought was some kind of exhibition or public awareness about different people in the same pubs, like some sort of photoessay looking at diversity or pubs / a trend spotted in them. Don't know if we'd find diversity or trends until we'd carried out the research. Eg are there pubs in Central who have traders drinking in the morning, then students during the day and office workers at night?
Early thoughts, but there might be something there - let me know what you think!

Hey Tom mate
ReplyDeleteIn regards to your suggestions I think they're pretty solid and possibly you could combine the two? (Just a thought). The exhibition seems really good in that you could essentially show two totally opposite pictures in essential the same environment. The local idea too is pretty decent too in that I'm sure in each individual pub there are a multitude of regulars some of whom know each other yet some of whom have never met.
Maybe if there were an exhibition we could potentially do something similar to Tehching Hsieh in that take a photo of the same spot of a pub every hour for a day and see the changes perhaps?
All these are literally just suggestions and if i'e interpreted your ideas wrong just say mate

No all sounds good to me Jonny! Really like the idea of taking a photo from the same spot every day to see changes / patterns there.
