hallucination stories...
http://www.healthboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=148090
stories found on the Schizophrenia Message Board... might be a good source for real life hallucination stories for my editorial.
www.healthboards.com
for this final major project i wanted a new load of hallucination stories to work with from a border range of people. In brief 5 i only really asked people of a similar age and background so the stories were mainly alcohol/clubbing related, therefore for this project i have posted a thread on a health message board to recruit stories from people with health problems such as dementia and schizophrenia, which will make the content of my editorial more interesting!

Wallpaper* commissioned Airside's Malika Favre to rework her Alphabunnies typeface (which we posted about last year) into a new, sexy typeface specially for the issue. "I kept my favourite letter - the G - and explored different ways to design the rest," says Favre. "I feel that the poses are more sophisticated but the spirit remains the same: sexy Amazons exploring the joys of foreplay."

THEORIES...Michael Polanyi and tacit knowledge...
TACIT KNOWLEDGE
Polanyi's argument was that the informed guesses, hunches and imaginings that are part of exploratory acts are motivated by what he describes as 'passions'. They might well be aimed at discovering 'truth', but they are not necessarily in a form that can be stated in propositional or formal terms. As Michael Polanyi (1967: 4) wrote in The Tacit Dimension, we should start from the fact that 'we can know more than we can tell'. He termed this pre-logical phase of knowing as 'tacit knowledge'. Tacit knowledge comprises a range of conceptual and sensory information and images that can be brought to bear in an attempt to make sense of something (see Hodgkin 1991). Many bits of tacit knowledge can be brought together to help form a new model or theory.

James and the giant peach and the nightmare before christmas
Coraline - A young girl walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life - only much better. But when her adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit parents (including Other Mother) try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home - and save her family.

A hallucination is a sensory perception without a source in the external world. The English word "hallucination" comes from the Latin verb hallucinari, which means "to wander in the mind."

commercial value!
this book based on a modern day alice could have massive commercial potential as it will be full of funny and weird stories about hallucinations, which im positive most people of my generation would find amusing to read. Like the book 'I lick my cheese and Other Notes: from the Frontline of Flatsharing' by Oonagh O'Hagan, this book comprises of a selection of interesting notes people have left for their flatmates etc. There is also a web based version of the concept, which is something that could be incorporated into my media channel, where people can leave and share stories about crazy hallcinations they have had! Because ive been having such a high number of people responding to my facebook group and other people that I hadnt invited request membership, also people seem to be really enjoying telling their stories therefore i believe this would be a very successful venture!

decisions decisions...
I have decided that i will be creating a book for one of my two media channels instead of a title sequence, as i feel i dont have the efficient skills or time to complete the task for the deadline in May. A title sequenece is perhaps something i could always come back to and develop and create in the third semester. The book however will be exciting, creative and hand-made with witty illustrations and stories. Still carrying on with the idea of telling a story about a modern day alice, the book will be titled something like Down the Rabbit Hole, and subtitled ... A Modern Day Alice, by Alice. With witty narrative and illustration the book will be a fun and intriguing tale of a modern day Alice, which draws light on the subliminal messages of the traditional Alice in Wonderland. Which identifies the fact that there is a vast amount of references to drugs and hallucinating in such a famous childrens story.
I have created a facebook group and invited about 500 people of all ages to share any hallucinations they have had, which i will be able to include in my book! I will also conduct a video diary of a selection of people explaining their stories as primary research and something i will be able to show in my presentation for this brief.
