F.F.A.C.T. was a collaborative, concept-driven project exploring the future of food, copyright, and capitalism. Each team member played a key role—from designing props and fake money to managing social media, filming, and editing content. Our timeline helped us stay organized, with clear milestones from planning to presentation. The budget wasn’t just practical; it was part of the concept, highlighting how value is assigned and access controlled. Through hands-on creation, digital storytelling, and teamwork, we built an immersive experience that critiques systems of ownership. Every step of the process—from idea to execution—was essential in bringing our vision to life.

The timeline for F.F.A.C.T. was carefully structured to keep our project organized and on track.

On 4/17, we published everything across platforms, promoting the project through personal accounts. The final presentation took place on 4/20. Each step built on the last, showcasing our commitment to planning, creativity, and teamwork.

The creation of F.F.A.C.T. was a true collaborative effort, with each team member playing a vital role in bringing the project to life. Our shared vision depended on dividing tasks according to individual strengths—concept development, visual design, research, fabrication, and budgeting. Regular check-ins ensured cohesion while allowing room for creative autonomy. From building a social media platform to designing fake money and writing the fictional framework on posters, every contribution was essential. This collective process mirrored the themes of the work itself—how systems rely on structured roles and how value is created through cooperation. F.F.A.C.T. thrived because we each owned our part.

In F.F.A.C.T., the budget is not just a logistical tool but a conceptual element woven into the narrative. It reflects the project’s critique of capitalism and ownership by turning every line item—materials, ingredients, labor—into part of the story. Funds are allocated for expenses during production, such fake money, supplies, marketing materials, and distribution transforming the budget into a mirror of the bureaucratic systems the project satirizes. The distribution of resources highlights how value is assigned and how access is controlled. Through this lens, the budget becomes both a practical framework and a performative critique of how money shapes cultural production.

#7 FINAL PROPOSAL: DIMENSIONS (SURFACE + SPACE) – VIRAL INTERVENTIONS

F.F.A.C.T. – Futuristic Food Agency for Copyright & Tariffs

F.F.A.C.T. explores the intersection of food, copyright, and global trade in a speculative future where culinary creations are intellectual property. This viral intervention imagines a world where every recipe, flavor, and food experience is owned, licensed, and taxed. Through immersive installations and digital interactions, the project critiques the commercialization of culture, questions ownership of tradition, and redefines the boundaries between consumption and creation. By merging the politics of copyright law with the universal act of eating, F.F.A.C.T. challenges audiences to rethink access, authenticity, and the future of food.

HW#3: Viral

Proposal 3: The Not So Food Fair

Objective: Our idea is to present our statement on cardboard outside the fair, using the lively setting to enhance our message. In our video, we added clown music to create a cohesive and engaging presentation. We chose the fair because food is a significant attraction, making it the perfect place to highlight our statement’s connection to food and its impact.

Audience: Young people

Location: Miami Dade County Youth Fair

Proposal 2: The Money Game

Objective: Print fake money featuring our statement and distribute it in a busy public space to reach a wide audience at once. This will not only spread our message but also allow us to observe how people react to receiving money unexpectedly. By capturing their responses—potentially using a hidden camera—we can gain insight into how everyday individuals interpret the message and engage with the concept.

Audience: Everyday grocery consumers.

Location: Grocery store (Whole foods, Publix, etc)

Proposal 1: Eggstreme Measures

Objective: Our Eggstreme Measures proposal suggests replacing fake eggs with Easter eggs, each containing a statement, and displaying them in an open egg carton in the egg aisle. This visually highlights how tariffs have driven up prices, particularly for eggs. It also connects to the food aspect of our statement by showcasing a staple product in today’s market.

Audience: Everyday grocery egg consumers.

HW# 2: Quote/Comment/Question (QCQ)

Comment: The quote, “I know what areas to engage to activate a space with images and with text,” reflects my understanding of how visuals and language work together to create impact. I chose this statement because it captures my ability to transform a physical or digital space into something meaningful and engaging. I relate to this through my experiences with branding, design, and storytelling, where I’ve seen firsthand how strategic placement of images and words can shape perception and evoke emotion. Working with my brand, The Grove Girl, and its clients has deepened my appreciation for this concept as I continuously craft narratives that resonate with audiences.

Questions: How do you think images and text work together to shape our perception of a space, whether in advertising, social media, or everyday environments? Can you think of a time when a combination of visuals and words influenced your emotions or understanding of something?

This piece explores the interconnectedness of nature, commerce, and consumer habits through a carefully curated selection of materials. The chicken wire serves as both structure and metaphor—a rigid yet flexible framework that binds elements together, much like the invisible systems shaping our relationship with consumption and the environment. Coupons from three stores represent frugality and the pervasive influence of consumer marketing, emphasizing how paper—once part of trees—is transformed into a tool for transactional value. Artificial flowers symbolize nature’s replication and commodification, raising questions about authenticity and sustainability. Finally, green yarn acts as a literal and figurative tether, weaving together these disparate materials to highlight the tension between organic growth and synthetic influence. Through this composition, I examine how commerce and nature are inextricably linked, revealing the delicate balance between preservation and consumption.
