Project 2 Proposal

For this project I want to focus on the theme of "FOMO" or the "fear of missing out". In high school I struggled a lot with this. I had plenty of what I thought were friends at the time, but nothing was ever right. They were my friends, but something was always off. My two closest friends had been best friends since birth basically so I almost always felt like a third wheel. It didn't stop with that though I felt left out 99% of the time too. My friends would always hang out, go to the movies, go out to eat, etc. and I wouldn't be invited. During this time, I felt as though it was on purpose and that I didn't have any real friends.

 For this project, I want to focus on the concept of "FOMO" and how it can make someone feel. I'm going to either use my bedroom or the living room for the setting of this project, I'm not sure what will work better yet. I want to capture videos/pictures of my friends doing fun things or find some that I already have, but without me in them and project those either onto the walls surrounding my bed/couch. I will then lay down alone on the bed/couch to show the juxtaposition between staying in alone while all your friends are out having fun. I might just use the original audio from the videos I use, but I'm not sure what I will do for that aspect of the project yet.

Materials:
Projector
Bed/couch
Camera

10/2 - Have all videos/pictures together
10/4 - Video elements edited 
10/6 - Record installation
10/11 - Record installation (if needed)

Materials should include: Cork board with pins 3 pairs of ears 2 hats 3 t-shirts Projector (n ecessary cords for projector) Once all materials are accounted for, first thing you'll want to do is to take the cork pin board and prop it up against the wall so that the pins are facing upright. Next, you'll want to find the 3 clear push pins that are stuck into the cork board. You're going to take the ears and place them on the push pins so that they are hanging. From left to right, it will be the all white pair, the shiny silver pair, and then the white pair with the purple bow. After that, look for the white hat and hang it off the right corner of the cork board, then find the blue hat and hang it off the left corner of the cork board. Finally, there will be an assortment of t-shirts (3), fold them up by putting in the sleeves of the shirts first, then folding the shirts in half, and then half again, laying them in front of the cork board.  Since the installation is m

I have put together what I will be projecting onto. I decided to incorporate more than just my ears, so I took one of my pin boards and pinned the ears on there to project onto. I also might bring some tshirts and other items to lay around the board.
