Final

In this project, we were asked to collaborate with the 2D/ 3D design class to create instillations in order to convey a message to the public. Our approach was to make our statement shared in the most satirical way possible, as a “social experiment”. American culture, especially online, is very fast paced and filled with “brain rot”, that it is easy to overlook more serious topics that should have most of our attention instead. The posters we designed where made to be misleading, some funny and some not so funny, and a missing poster as to comment on how easy it is for people to fall for fake news.

Progress

For this idea, we will write our sentence, “This attack of administrative errors has no connection to Justice”, on an American flag. Because of the strong political message this sentence implies, the delivery of it must match to make sense. An American flag is a symbol of our government and where we live, which is what is being discussed through this sentence. This flag will either be held up on a window as a “curtain “, be put before a door on the ground as a doormat, or somehow held up on a flag pole. This can serve as a social experiment to see how many people will actually stop and read the message, and how many might just step over it and go about their day.

Quote-

“What it means to point a camera at another person, i think there’s a brutality to that.”

Comment-

I find this statement really interesting, because cameras can offer both happiness and discomfort for a plethora of reasons. When one is celebrating, has a big reunion, or finally sees their favorite artist live in concert, it’s fun to take pictures to cherish those memories forever. However, there is a performative aspect to that nowadays. People mainly take those pictures in order to post them on social media. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but it just makes pictures less intimate, and maybe you feel more inclined to take a picture you wouldn’t have if you didn’t have social media. Cameras can also be used to monitor people, which can cause a lot of discomfort. Always being watched no matter what you do. The idea that someone sees you but you can’t see them. There are many ways a camera can cause so many different sensations.

Question

To circle back, if it weren’t for the existence of social media, do you think you would take as many pictures as you do now? Do you feel pressure to post pictures consistently? Have there been any moments that you felt a picture was unnecessary but would be a great picutre to post online?

“This catastrophic attack of administrative errors has no connection to justice.” was the sentence we worked with to make this video. Because of the very political stance this sentence implies, we wanted the context of how it was presented to align with it. So we decided to film the video in the law building on campus and wrote our message on the local newspaper.

P9. Emotion

With this instillation, I tried to capture a feeling I’m sure many young girls have felt before. Growing up as a girl, you pick up on subtle things that make it quite clear that you live in a man’s world. The double standards, being told you shouldn’t like certain things because you’re a girl, hearing things like “why don’t you dress like a normal girl” or “you’re too girly”, being mistreated because you don’t have curves or because you’re too curvy by other boys in your grade. Growing up thinking you should be this or that, being told it is my fault if I ever got violated because “I should know better”.

Femininity is something I’ve never fully embraced because of all the hatred, and animosity towards women. A lot of young girls might have grown up as a “pick me” in hopes to gain validation of other boys in their grade. Whether it was trying really hard to be a tomboy and “hating the color pink”, or being the mean girl that always put other girls down. All women have fallen victim to the societal pressures that exist the moment they are born, and that is what I’m trying to convey with this piece.
