VIRAL INTERVENTIONS: FINAL ARTIFACT

My partner and I determined that the best possible way to display the roll of paper produced by our viral intervention would be to hang the paper from the ceiling with the roll itself rolled across the floor in order to show just how long the paper was. We also chose to hang the aprons we wore, which were covered in our own doodles, on either side of the piece, thus bringing ourselves as the artists into the work as well. Markers were scattered across the part the paper on the floor for show, however after class was dismissed many of our classmates asked to come up and draw, filling out the paper even more and gaining one more round of participants breaking out of their daily routine.

VIRAL INTERVENTIONS: FINAL DOCUMENTATION

For our viral intervention, my partner and I chose to place a table outside of a Michael’s in Broward. While initially no passerby were interested in using our doodle table, after a couple of hours several people stopped by, initially insisting they couldn’t draw anything good. Several people drew stick figures, and children were very drawn to the table, taking up most of the space. Parents who initially refused to draw eventually asked for markers to draw too as they saw their children drawing. After this day at Michael’s, Kimberly brought the paper roll to her work and had her students draw on it, which filled out the most space on the paper.

Viral Intervention: Project Proposal

[kimlorenn]

~PROPOSE

By filling water balloons with paint and throwing them onto a desired canvas we embark on a journey through chaos and artistic freedom. We unlock the inner child that was shut away and have unrestricted fun with no bound to a desirable or perfect outcome. This can be done alone or with friends and classmates for the ultimate chaotic scenario. By participating in this movement and exercise we get rid of the inner critic in our mind and completely let go. Therefore, being the embodiment of creative chaos.

[kimlorenn]

OUR MISSION

“Optimize the emission of chaos to prevent the collapse of creativity” is a movement created by a group of artists to push the agenda to allow more chaos into the world around us. Chaos as we know it is subjective and can be defined in many different ways. What we define as chaos in our movement is the ability to provide a safe space for people to create freely without restrictions and boarders. To allow an artist or any individual to see the full extent of their creativity and artistic abilities. Throughout our whole lives we are confined to rules, traditions, spaces and etc which limit us. By creating this movement we have hopes that we can break those barriers and create art that is free.

VIRAL INTERVENTIONS: FINAL PROPOSAL

The final realization of our three initial project ideas is to accomplish the task of creating chaos to remind people to be creative by setting up a table display in a public place (potential locations include Pembroke Gardens Mall, The Falls, or on the beach boardwalk) and having pedestrians stop and draw a doodle, disrupting the flow of their daily life and inspiring creativity in them. This will allow for more consistent documentation of those participating in the project, as well as modifying the initial proposals to better suit the scheduling and budgetary restrictions of the group.

VIRAL INTERVENTIONS: PRESENT

To communicate the message of our group's sentence, we chose to purchase chalk and write the sentence, which was "Optimize the emission of chaos to prevent the collapse of creativity." Each person wrote the word they had selected from their news article in their own color of chalk on the sidewalk near some of the FIU dorms, in order to grab the attention of those passing by and hopefully cause onlookers to interact with the subject matter of our sentence. I enjoyed the process of writing in chalk in a public campus space, as it evoked not only a sense of chaotic creativity and departure from "normal" behavior for a college student, but also created a sense of nostalgia for my own childhood that was a pleasant surprise.

VIRAL INTERVENTIONS: PROPOSE

One possible method of spreading the theme of our guiding sentence, "optimize the emission of chaos to prevent the collapse of creativity," is to plant wildflower seeds throughout the Miami area. This activity would not only prompt questions and conversation about the project's purpose during the act of planting these seeds in public places but would also create a visual reminder of the need for unpredictable beauty in unexpected places. The audience that would benefit most from this project would be those working full-time indoor jobs who are otherwise unlikely to make it outside often enough to see flowers, especially those in their surroundings of concrete and asphalt. The most effective locations to ensure their running across these flowers would be in the grass outside of grocery stores and near main roads. This creativity and production of art for no material gain or even for credit to the person initiating the creative act is what is sorely lacking in much of artist culture today.

ICONIC PLACES: FINAL DOCUMENTATION

CLUBHOUSE. Smartphone video camera. No dimensions available. My intent with this project was to capture a public space that is nostalgic to me. I chose the bathroom building I have seen in the golf course attached to my backyard every day for the past ten years. I chose to keep the audio natural to capture some of the auditory environment in addition to the visual one. I focused primarily on the small details of the house structure itself, with only a few shots filmed from my house to establish the scene and capture my usual point of view, as well as catch a glimpse of my father walking our dog, another familiar sight.

FRAMING THE SPACE: FINAL DOCUMENTATION

POINTING HOME. 1980s map of Alaska, assorted scarves and strips of fabric, pushpins. Approx. 5x4 feet on wall. For this project, I chose to create a kind of map on the wall using scarves from my wardrobe and to frame an old map of Alaska that belonged to my grandmother. To create thinner lines and a gridlike pattern, I twisted the scarves and pinned them to the wall with pushpins, much like those used to mark significant places on a map. I also used one final piece of fabric with a house design to further frame the map by serving as a border and placed a thin black lace shawl over the map as a whole to veil it until I presented it in class several days later.
