Here, I wanted to focus on something that's very close to me. For those who know me well, they know that Disney World has always been close to my heart. I have grown up going to Disney since I was basically born and have been brought up loving Disney. This final project I wanted to focus on my personal experiences with Disney and how it makes me feel. My first trip was when I wasn't even 1 years old and have been going with my family ever since. I have even done two Disney College Programs working for this company and even part time for a short time frame. Thinking about stress and stress relievers, Disney and going to their parks has always been my stress reliever, you can ask almost anyone in this classroom and they can attest to this. I really wanted to try to portray the feelings I have when I am in Disney and how it has really impacted my life. I think projecting onto my hand made ears, t-shirts, hats, and pins makes this even more personal.
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's 33 Questions per Minute really intrigued me because it is one of many of a lot of large-scale interactive installations that he does. This one in particular focuses on a computer program that generates fortuitous questions. Most of the questions don't make any sense, but the program uses grammatical rules and words from a dictionary to make these questions. The LCD screens that he used to display these questions would show 33 questions a minute, enough time to read them but not to reflect on them. However, it is interactive as well. Viewers can enter their own questions into the system and they will randomly be put into the mix of 33 questions a minute. Since they are random viewers are unable to tell the difference between computer generated questions and human generated questions. I find this work really interesting because it shows us all the different possible outcomes for questions and questions that have never been asked bef...
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 a...
