This is documentation of my work and questions throughout the semester
Start with found objects and work from there
My grandmother died, we immediatly went to her home 20 minutes after, first time entering the stagnant vacant home that no longer has a resident, everyting is so still, so quiet
Until it isnt
“You have 15 minutes to take what you want and then we have to go”
immediatly hit with this idea, everything that a person has collected throughout their life, the things they found value in, and now picking at remains like a vulture, how that worth transfers, the end of life/ rebirth for these objects
You are rushing out of fear and flooded with grief
Your 15 minutes is not a pleasant timer, you are fearing for your life
MAJOR GOAL: Feeling rushed for time in an important and intimate moment
Cause stress and want the viewer to be desperate for more time
Place the viewer into the personal experience to make thier own interpretation and create their own narrative.
15 minute marker is the cycle, the timer starts at a % accelerated speed
completing the actions slows town time? this gets the audience to participate
a natural anxiety comes with a ticking timer counting down
When the timer gets closer a heart rate increases
Gathering of item: items pulled into the viewer by a magnet perhaps and then magnet pushes away to reset
Iconography of objects
how recognivable are found materials when stripped of their color and identifiers
using human interaction to delve into predetermined notions of objects
When people physically interact with an object maybe something is projected on top, or a sound is played that is related to the object and replaces as the main identifier
Organize objects into a new one
Form into the structure of a radio/ jutebox / dj turn table? (music editor)
have objects use found sound to allow the viewer to create their own lo-fi song
Have a base beat for audience
Objects have different sounds that play and add to the music
certain ones have sound affects tht relate to the object, some dont, some play different layered beats
how to allow some things to loop while others just play once
have a loop button
replay button?
end button
how can I save my song and take it with me?
