CRITIQUE
Two weeks ago I had a critique but I forgot to post something on here. Wups. Anyway, the critique went well I guess. Not many people had anything to say. It also went very quickly. I presented my idea and the response from Paul was that what I wanted to do may be too ambitious, he also suggested that I make my piece something interactive to draw the attention of the viewer. After the critique and listening to everybody's ideas, I realized that what I originally wanted to do isn't something I am totally interested or invested in. I was listening to Kerry talk about her stained glass project last Friday and she is so excited and invested in her work that I was a little bit disappointed and jealous that I did not feel the same way about my own work. I decided to go in a different direction in my work and I'm going to present the idea this Friday. I hope all goes well and people like the idea. I did tell a couple of people my idea already and many seemed to like it. So we'll see!
I'm going to post my new idea right now and then I'll post a response to it next on Friday, so here it is: I did a project in Design II this semester that was really interesting to me. We had to pick a person and follow them on Twitter. We had to create a template to display the person's "Tweets" as flyers. The template had to be a system that could be recreated by anybody if given the instructions. We then had to install the flyers where we thought was necessary to reflect the type of person we chose to represent. I am really interested in how internet communication/socialization websites can be represented in a pre-internet fashion. Even Facebook for example. Facebook is pretty much an autobiography of a person. They write down their likes/dislikes, and everything else imaginable. I was thinking of taking 4-5 different people and creating an autobiography of each of them by copying exactly what they have written on their Facebook pages, but creating a separate book for each of them. I would design 5 different books for 5 different people and would display them on a bookshelf with other autobiography books (borrowed from the library) to display in the gallery. So it would be an exploration of how to visually represent something on paper that is strictly internet based.
If anybody wants to comment on my idea on here, then go ahead!
