Take a number of constants
(the only thing which currently comes to mind is planting a seed, or buying some plants...)
then...
Put them under different situations.
For example
- leave one of the constants on a desk, water it the right amount
- leave another on a shelf and water too much
- leave another on a window sill and don't water
though i remember doing this 'experiment' in year 3 of primary school...
but then again it is only a way of representing how the futures can change between which ever path you (or the plant) takes, as simply as possible.
- this is an element of recording
Another idea?
Take an object/write a letter/draw a picture... something of which was originally in my position...
Then leave it somewhere in public
I will no longer be apart of this objects journey...
But if there was a way I could end up having it given back to me, with the details of which the journey it went on attached...
Though I can't imagine this working, but its the idea of this object representing another path of which it is doing for me... It would be amazing if it worked though.
- this is an element of experiment
Idea number 3
My own life?
- Write out my life as it has really happened
- Write out my life but with a slight change at a random point-carry on story
Do thing a few times
[This may be a good thing to start with as I love writing and I find writing always stems ideas.]
- Element of imagination
Spontaneity
- Plan a day out
-Then do something that triggers my eye - deviate from the plan
-Write about if I had been to....I wouldn't have....
- Create a division of paths on purpose
