Paragraph Statement of Intent:

This video was created to bring attention to an issue that often goes unnoticed but affects many people. As college students entering and stepping into a new environment, it’s important for us to recognize the power we have to create and develop change—even through the small actions we make everyday. The video uses visual storytelling to engage the public eye and spark conversation among them. Our goal was to make something thought-provoking and relatable, especially for other students like us. We hope it encourages viewers to take a moment to reflect, ask questions, and become more aware of the world around them.

VIRAL INTERVENTIONS

FINAL ARTIFACT

In this viral intervention project, we found ourselves in a desire to speak about how we are "tired and fatigued", bringing up the reason to "approve vandalism". By finding common touch in our group, our main focus was reproductive rights. Through long discussion and idea transformation, we came up with painting plant silhouettes - symbols of autonomy and resilience - in public spaces. Flowers are not only symbols of femininity and women, but they also reflect a history of women taking control over their bodies-an act that is being criminalized.

By creating a "simulation" of vandalizing and attempting a criminal act, we created fake government websites, fabricated mugshots, and an interrogation video that blurred the line between fiction and reality, reflecting how laws reduce personal freedom into acts of defiance against the state. The accompanying Instagram archive amplifies this voice, proving that art is not just a form of expression but a tool for awareness, dialogue, and change. Besides sharing our feelings of great frustration, we tried to make fun of the excessive control of our bodies and decisions regarding them, and our thoughts, trough acts which are completely quiet and still. The work challenges the absurdity of punishing those who take their right to decide on their bodies: who sets the limits of what is justice or crime? Our final artefact composed from our printed "wanted" posters, accusing us in "dangerous crime"-painting a beautiful flower silhouettes over the walls. Dimensions: ~3m x 2m
