A House and the World, Tobias Gutmann

Recommended in my COP3 tutorial before end of 2nd year

Tobias is an 'illustrator' / visual communicator. He pursues many artistic projects, using drawing as a research tool, and exploring language and the communicative nature of the image.

This video looks at aspects of that. He chooses two symbols / icons that are very familiar to almost everyone - a house, and the Earth. He takes this idea out into the public (across many places) and collects research, asking strangers to depict what they think of when they hear the words 'house' and 'world'.

Even though my project is at its very early stages, it does relate to my interest in communicative visuals, poster art, public engagement with both of these things. I would also like to think of some interesting ways in which I can collect quantitative / qualitative data.
