Due to the complexity of the proposed project and the need for collecting precise data, I decided to treat this residency as a pilot project in order to investigate the possibilities, challenges and opportunities present at the given location.
The basic interest in communication between man and environmental elements, through technological aids remained unaltered. In addition, I set out to examine how the initial aim to create a social dialogue between Ben Nevis and the local community, through an investigation of new boundaries of perception and illustration of the natural environment, could practically be achieved both effectively and efficiently.
