Concepts

I like the grid formations in maps, and think i would like to do a piece that incorporates these somehow in an installation work. This reminds me of those sliding puzzles i had when i was little..
Like these lovely ones. Minimum order when you buy these averages about 10,000!!! Thought i could work with multiples in an installation to build a sort of map. You can get these puzzles custom printed when you order them, so maybe i could do that?? It would be interesting to get words printed on it and see how they translated them, 'engrish' etc.
Another idea is to make a giant floor puzzle that people can interact with, maybe not in a set structure like the sliding puzzles but a giant scramble puzzle or something similar??

Could make a giant map on the floor like google earth, with giant pins to mark the places, maybe mark out a body on the floor and use the pins like acupuncture needles.
