Artifacts Collection_Interface Group

So far the interface group collected these artifacts for the exhibition to represent the era of the 1970's. All of them are from the 70's and will be modified to play/demonstrate some of the speeches, news and demonstrations that happened here in the Bay area to insist congress pass the American Disability Act (ADA.)
All artifacts have arrived and ready to be processed.

Collected artifacts on shelves from the late seventies. A red bullhorn, two typewriters, a radio, clock, and dial pad phone sit on the shelves.

Hello, we are interns assisting Professors Pino Trogu and Silvan Linn alongside the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability.

GOALS

The overall goal of our project is to establish a brand styling and complete fabrication of the Institute’s commemorative 25th anniversary exhibit of the Americans with Disabilities Act that will happen in 2015. By incorporating different forms of accessibility into the exhibit, we can show how to approach this topic in a creative way.

25TH ANNIVERSARY EXHIBIT 

This exhibit intends to explore the nearly month-long occupation of SF’s Health, Education, and Welfare Building in April 1977. They pushed to pass Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act in order to grant equal civil rights to people with disabilities. The protest grouped together a widely diverse group of people of varying disabilities and also successfully obtained their civil rights. By expanding on Paul K. Longmore’s concepts of social justice, we hope this exhibit provides viewers with new ideas and changing ideas about disability and the people it affects as well as tell their unheard stories from this strong movement.

The exhibit will be based at the new Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley, accessible from the Ashby BART station. You can also visit the Institute here on the SFSU campus in the Humanities Building, Room 135.

INVOLVEMENT

The DAI department grew involved due to the Institute’s goal to outreach to SFSU to make this exhibit possible. We are participating to capture part of history than just standing idly by similar to how the protesters felt. In that way, the title “Patient no More!” is very fitting. With our skills, we are working to showcase these ideas in a concise manner that will spark interest. It also gives us many opportunities to increase interdisciplinary relationships and showcase the changes our students are making.

LOGISTICS TEAM

To start, Logistics team banded together to get the group going. Everyone grouped into what was fitting for their skills.

First task was to ideate, set up smaller prototypes, and create a final full-scale mock up of the exhibit display to be used to house the exhibit pieces.

Images, sketches, and lists are pinned to a board with another image of miniature models on a table.
Mood board and ideations
Pinned to the wall are several sketches of model ideations.
Sketches to determine final styling and sizing.

Full-size prototype for review. Received good feedback.

From there, logistics looked to dividing and organizing teams to allocate specific tasks to. By using Google Drive, this allowed the team to send updates to the other interns in a more effective manner. To keep track of at-internship hours, a planer log sheet was created as well as a weekly update sheet. Aside from updates, the Logistics teams also assists with the 3D, Graphics, and Interface team.

Patient No More's files listed on the Google Drive site. It consists of group folders, timesheet, and word documents.
