a. What is your team's subject matter - what is in the exhibition you're creating? You should be able to describe this in a sentence or two.

We are curating the lighting in the Spurtlock museum. We are physically categorizing the type of light bulbs that are present and curating information about where and how the lights are used in a space with a given subject matter.

b. What are your design/communication goals? (what is the perspective offered by your exhibition on the objects being represented? For example, are you exhibiting the work of a single maker, counter to anthropological musuem norms that represent makers as anonymous members of an exotic culture?)

We are looking at the ways light effect illumination physically and metaphorically.

c. What is the organizational structure you will use? (geography, date, gender, function, narrative, etc.)

Type of light bulb will curate our different sub catagories of information:
-Wattage
-Distance of light from object
-Brightness
-Location
-What is the light illuminating
-etymology of kiosk (shadow maker)

d. What will your kiosk's architecture be? (see this site for basic examples and read this for more concerns related to problems of information architecture) And how does it serve your stated goals?

We will have a kiosk with an museum object on top that will have an illumination system that will change with the light that you have selected. We will decide the scope after we visit the museum again.
