Atlas

Hello all

Good to meet you yesterday. Thanks for a productive session and I hope you found it interesting.

Really excited about where we go from here with the project. It would be great if you could meet up at least twice a week as a whole group and work in your focus groups for the rest of the week. Part of this experience is how you find ways and time to work together.

When I worked with Phil Stanier and the Strange Names Collective we drew up an Atlas of references to look at. I thought we could build one together for you to bear in mind over the next three weeks. Below is a list of suggestions of films, books, places and music.

Good luck and keep blogging. I will keep an eye on the process.

All best

Michael
