7. UCL’s Institute of Archaeology is
developing an exhibition which will
explore the UK’s attempts to manage
mental illness in the last 200 years
through the concept of control and
self-control. Ultimately, we hope to
open a dialogue on the ethics
surrounding mental illness.
9. “I don’t like the idea of
‘controlling’ mental illness, it
implies there is a ‘correct’ mental
state. It assumes a lack of freedom
in the mind; ‘managing’ is better.”
10. “I chose Frame of Mind because it
sounds pleasant. Something about
Under Control and the other ones
makes people feel uncomfortable.”
11. “Under Control and Mind Controls
are more clearly about ‘control’
while Frame of Mind is maybe
more about the ‘mind’.”

27. High Emotions and a Taboo Subject
The clearest conclusion from the personal meaning mapping is
that when people hear “mental illness,” most immediately they
think of negative stereotypes, negative emotions, and a concern
over lack of support.
30. Perceptions
● Seen as “shameful” or “weak”
● “Selfish illness”
● “Different”
● Something“wrong” with you
● Shameful
● “Faking”
● Person wanting attention
● “Toughen up”
● Being dramatic
● Misunderstood within society
● Under-represented
● Understated
● Taboo subject
● Stigma
● “Crazy”
● Emo
31. When many people hear mental illness they think of
“one flew over the cuckoo’s nest” or other “commercial”
examples that make mental illness seem “other” and
extreme when really it’s more common and less
“entertaining”
32. Must learn to manage it and work with it
rather than cure or control. People think you
just ned to get your feelings under control
when really its offensive to think mental
disorders are something that can’t be
controlled – if we could control it then we
wouldn’t choose to have it
34. Taboo yet Universal
6 Respondents mentioned how this is an
issue common to everyone:
● Could affect anyone - family, friends -
“those who have it, and those who live
with those who have it”
● “Common issue”
● “Effects all”
● Even Stephen Fry suffers mental illness
● “Very real” and “Widespread”
● “Big issue”
But 7 respondents talked about how it is a
taboo subject that isolates people:
● Hidden disease
● Hidden - invisibility
● Loneliness
● Isolation
● Need to hide it
● Alone
35. Treatments and Support (or lack thereof)
● Not enough is done
● Under evaluated by the government
● Need more research on the issue
● More understanding about the mind and
how it works
● Treatment is expensive
● How can I cope
● Long term struggle
● Journey
● “Support (or lack thereof)”
● Family (support)
● Need help and understanding
● Conversation - Communication
● Nightline
● Mental institutions – Therapy
● Alternative therapy - art, music, and drama
● CBT (did not know what it meant or stood
for thought)
● Medicine
● Drugs - medication
● Pills
36. NHS
Current news on BBC about an NHS scandal - that they’ve spent 1.6 million towards
the community to provide aid, but still tragedy happens. That people have complained
that there needs to be more social concern to mental illness (more understanding,
tolerance, etc.)
All the NHS resources no help
37. Following the social constructivist
learning theory: we need to make sure
that the exhibition provides an
emotional scaffold that supports the
visitor and promotes inclusive and
emotionally positive conversations.
39. Color and Font

printed

57. Will you use QR codes to access web-
based information on your phones in
an exhibition?
YES: it’s quite useful to learn more about the object.
NO: It will be difficult / incapable / time-wasted / useless for
me.
MAYBE: If the WIFI is ultra-fast or I’m particularly interested.

It will probably not work on my Windows phone.
What’s the reasoning for using QR codes? Why not use short urls, augmented reality or NFC?
What?—Does anyone actually use those?
QR codes are problematic for real world use. You need good wifi, a reason why they will enhance
the user’s experience, appropriate URL encoded in the information and willing users. Usually this
doesn’t happen.
It will happen anyway sooner or later. But digitalization in that case undermines physical (real)
interaction with objects.
I don’t really get QR codes-personally I find it’s easier/less effort to just access a link provided
via my phone browser directly.

62. QR Codes are not welcomed.
----------at least at UCL.
