Interactive Installation

Artwork looking into human behaviour. I'm a fine art student soon to be graduate.

Micro-writing for my exhibition statement?

Micro-writing is typically how gang members respond to each other in prisons and usual how they inform another of there skills, like a gang member CV.

Through inspiration from an artwork in ART14 using magnifying glasses I thought how this would be an interesting idea for my exhibition statement. 

It actively gains intrigue from the exhibition audience. It also creates this whole aspect on the human behaviour where the 'fear of missing out' will kick in and others will wonder what the person with the magnifying glass is doing.

Also only having one person at a time read it with give the statement a sense of importance and speciality.

After being a room steward in a gallery for a year and a half I can safely say that not many people actually read the exhibition statements or statement about the relating art piece. Sorry to burst anyones bubble.

Therefore,  hopefully my unique idea will gain the interest and raise awareness into how key these statements can be. Take the time out to read them... you might learn a thing or two!

Internet dating informs uni work

Yes as weird as this sounds I like to create online dating profiles that specifically only give away a small amount of information and mainly about future career aspirations and studying a fine art degree.

This is because most people arent aware of art therapy and what it is or involves, therefore forcing me to inform others. Everytime I briefly describe Art therapy I am learning what it is I find interesting about it and why I am interested in this career.

Also people ask what a fine art degree involves or what I do... and yet again no one ever knows what interactive installation art is (to be honest It took me a while to get my head around it too!).

This constant talking about my work, what it represents and sometimes trying to prove why it is art is really brain racking and helps to keep ideas flowing. Especially getting someone who is not familiar with art to understand is vital to my learning and is making me more confident about my own work.

What do you wish public art was?

[ellenroseinteractiveart]

I wish public art was more accepted.

[artinteract]

Chicago-based street art group (or individual) Bored turned Chicago’s Logan square neighborhood into a giant monopoly playground. On two levels, the piece of art creates a strong urge to interaction: Superficial, physical and truely playful interaction at first, but also an intellectual involvement with changing social compositions of urban neighborhoods and their consequences.

Visitors are invited to pick up one of several nearby hammers and pound a coin into a log supported by a giant Buddha sculpture while making a wish.
