Feedback from Johanne and Lone
Excellent project with good perspectives. We're very happy that you took our previous critique into consideration – the concept has improved a lot because you've gotten rid of all the 'clutter'. The idea of taking the new and fancy but rarely used public toilets and try to explore their inherent contradictions is very good. Well spotted.
There's a danger that it won't work as intended because people avoid these particular toilets, but the concept is good and based on your item list you have covered a great deal of the tensions in the idea of a public toilet situated in a little house on the street that you can rent for 20 mins at a time.
You should probably emphasise how paths and work come into play. Most importantly, don’t make the concept too complicated for yourselves. It is an ambitious idea, and we think you would benefit more from incorporating mobile interfaces into the event itself than from making a forum. Maybe as a way to attract people – could you for example start a text (sms) chain containing something that could serve as an Easter egg (as in: easter eggs in computer games, google it if you don't know of the concept) to the events at the toilets?
