For this unit, my original idea was to go down the route of using an actual world map but instead of having the names of the countries, I wanted to have the names of things related to myself, essentially having a map of my human body. The map would correspond with the parts of me that stand out the most, for example, Russia, being the biggest country on the map would be my brain as it is the main control of my body. I would also have titles such as 'happiness' on a country. The idea would then progress onto going into that 'country' and see the memory that best represent that feeling. For example, in the happiness memory I planned to have myself watch over a family christmas from an earlier time in the same style as Ebaniezer Scrooge does in A Christmas Carol.
A video that also inspired me to think of this idea was one from creator Dan Howell. In this video, Howell makes "A Tour" of his brain, opening different doors and hatches which uncover the way in how he interoperates his thoughts and memories. I thought this was an incredibly creative idea and even thought about doing something similar on a much larger scale, even possibly making it an interactive instillation.
