Nott Varis Niwatsakul : Experiential Research Case Studies Options
My interest is still vague but I'm fascinated by hyperreality spaces, particularly one which can be described as dream//surreal space.
What is dream/surreal space is yet to me more precisely defined.
Below are some examples of case studies that I was looking into. Some aspects of these cases might be relevant and most might not be so much. I'm still searching for a specific case study and other references regarding my interest and yet my intention need to be clarified.
Possible Case Study 1 : Madame Tussauds ( country or branch not specified )
"When you see Tom Sawyer immediately after Mozart or you enter the cave of The Planet of the Apes after having witnessed the Sermon on the Mount with Jesus and the Apostles, the logical distinction between Real World and Possible Worlds has been definitively undermined." Even if a good museum (with sixty or seventy scenes and two or three hundred characters) subdivides its space, separating the movie world from religion and history, at the end of the visit the scenes are still overloaded in an uncritical way: Lincoln and Dr. Faustus have appeared reconstructed in the same style, similar to Chinese socialist realism, and Hop o' My Thumb and Fidel Castro now belong forever to the same ontological area."
I think the vague of my use of world "dream" last time we discussed is described fairly good in this statement by Umberto Eco in the "Travels in Hyperreality".
The effects//method//tools that I found fascinating here is the juxtaposition between different "genre" of celebrities of different era next to the fictional characters. This would be impossible in real life where you would meet these two entities at the same time same place, let alone people who have passed away already or functional characters alone. simultaneously, these simulators seem so real and totally fake !!.
Possible Case Study 2 : The Dali Theatre Museum in Figueres.

Teatro Museo in Figueres
A TREASURE OF SURREALISM
This museum evokes the life and work of Salvador Dali, a genius of Surrealism.
The Dali Theatre Museum in Figueres, described as "the world's largest Surrealist object", showcases all the various aspects of Dali's art. It includes some of the painter's greatest masterpieces as well as pieces which range from his first artistic creations through his last works. A visit to the museum is a real experience, a journey into the unique, captivating world of Salvador Dali.
"It's obvious that other worlds exist, that's certain,but, as I've already said on so many other occasions, these other worlds are inside ours, they reside in the earth and precisely at the centre of the dome of the Dali Museum, which contains the new, unsuspected and hallucinatory world of Surrealism"

Possible Case Study 3 : TheTemporary "Dream of Venus" surrealist pavilion

Figure 3 : The temporary Dream of Venus surrealist pavilion
Dali's Surrealist Pavilion, Dream of Venus, featured a spectacular facade made up of soft curves and protrusions reminiscent of Gaudi's Pedrera building, and was accessorized with semi-clothed beauties acting out an underwater fantasy. Neither sleek or functional, Dream of Venus was an extraordinary achievement of the artist's personal vision and, for fairgoers, an introduction to the often mystifying Surrealist movement.
The name Dalí Theatre-Museum covers three differentiated museum spaces, which propose a free and personal route around its rooms:
1) The Theatre-Museum itself, formed by the old burnt-out theatre converted into a Theatre-Museum based on the criteria and design of Salvador Dalí himself. This series of spaces form a single artistic object where each element is an inextricable part of the whole.
2) The group of rooms resulting from the progressive enlargements of the Theatre-Museum, where Dalí’s personal intervention is either testimonial or non-existent. These galleries are located in the Torre Galatea, are they feature several works from the Dalí legacy, as well as some of the new acquisitions made by the Foundation.
3) The gallery Dali Jewels inaugurated in 2001, which includes the thirty-seven gold jewels set with gems of the old Owen Cheatham Collection, two jewels made later, and twenty-seven drawings and paintings on paper that Salvador Dalí made when designing the jewels.

Possible Case Study 4 : Destino 1940
Destino 1940
Destino dates from a late 1940s collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dali that was abandoned then resurrected 56 years later. About seven minute in length and set to a Spanish ballad by Armando Domiguez.
Destino is about love lost and rediscovered, full of surreal transformations.
