For this project I want to incorporate the 5 senses plus the 6th sense to show that we use our senses for more than we know. Seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling are the 5 that everyone knows about, while the 6th sense, the actual sense of knowing without knowing how you know (extrasensory perception) is one we don't consider often. Some people may not believe in this sort of thing, however, we all sometimes get that feeling of knowing when something is going to happen or knowing when someone is watching us, etc. I want to capture all of these senses in their different ways and meaning and combine them into each their own quadrant, for a total of 6. I want to display them almost in a pyramid scheme to show that the main 5 senses are what contribute to our 6th sense. In doing so, I am going to use boxes of different sizes and shapes to create this look. I would like to get all of the materials put together as soon as possible so that I can start practicing and as...
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...
