Copying ideas from Retail stores

by Romy Ilano

I'm pretty busy this week and have an art show in Los Angeles next weekend ( https://www.goethe.de/ins/us/en/sta/los/ver.cfm?event_id=24476779&fuseactio… ) I had a thought about the space, we're always trying to make it more presentable. I think it would be cool to copy concepts from retail spaces - not really like make SudoRoom a store, but like display projects and make things prettier to lure things in. This could dovetail nicely with the hardware hacking / fashion / light projection projects =D as we oculd turn SudoRoom into more of a gallery spaces while simulatenously making it look nicer. And the cleaning issue would resolve itself in this way because then we'd have to throw things away to make space for blank pages I think this would be super appealing to tech people who are stuck working on software all the time. it would also be a chance to show off team members projects, imagine robot art on a pedetal or hanging on th ewall you can't have a nice retail space without emptiness and it would help us work on the clutter which really drives a lot of people away too ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
