VIRAL INTERVENTIONS: IDENTIFY

QCQ Barbara Kruger

QUOTE: Something to really think about is what makes us who we are in the world that we live in.” says the artist. “And how culture constructs and contains us.”

COMMENT: I chose this quote because I also find it interesting how this statement brings up how the environment we grow up in affects who we are. WHat is interesting too is how that environment reflects in people’s mannerisms and in artist's cases their art. So it makes it interesting how Kruger’s art brings up how the environment affects people through making her art look like ads.

QUESTION: How do you think your art reflects your upbringing and are there any cultural roots or homages that appear in your art when making it?

VIRAL INTERVENTIONS:FINAL DOCUMENTATION

Share your videos with friends, family, and the world

This is our group documentation of our final proposal for the viral interventions group project. What we ended up doing was making a video in a public area to chant our sentence being "A Hilariously Bad Security Measure Launches A National Crisis". The Location we chose to do our chant was at the plaza right outside of the FIU with the Publix. We did it by a secluded part of the parking lot since we were going to edit the video to be "viral" , so we wanted to do that with as little disturbance as possible in order to get the video done without any problems. The type of video we want with a a brainrot type of video as this message would be used to cater to a younger audience with memes and loud edits. Overall, I would say this project was a success.

VIRAL INTERVENTIONS: PRESENT (FINAL)

Materials: Pen, Paper, Camera

When making a sentence for this initial group assignment, we decided on spouting random words from articles until we found words that could form a coherent sentence. The sentence we laned on was "An Irresponsible Security Measure, Launches a National Crisis" as a lot of articles at that time where talking about how government officials have been very Irresponsible with their authority causing a few national crisis in select people. We decided to walk to the FIU gym since we had to show our sentence in public. Thankfully, there weren't any bad interactions with others except for a weird stare or two.

Viral Interventions (Final Proposal)

The final proposal we decided as a group was a combination of all 3 ideas we had with the chant, chalk, and poster. What we will do is make a poster and go to a public place with said poster. When we get to the public place we then have someone record us chanting our sentence "A Hilariously Bad Security Measure, Launches A National Crisis" . After that, we would right the sentence on a sidewalk for people to see. With the "viral" part of this project , we will edit the video and post it on YouTube to connect to a wider audience.

Viral Interventions (Tasks)

In this picture, it was decided to go for a sort of style similar to comic books with how they have different panel sizes as well as how you can read them. We choose this style since it is similar to reading instructions for how to make something like LEGOs for example; you would need to move your eyes around and learn what would be next. We wanted to ensure that when making this, it was both understandable and not feel all over the place because while comic book panels do make you move your eyes in different directions, you can at least understand what happens. The comic style also adds to creating a relation with our sentence and video since it is a more casual style.

Proposal #3: Chant + SEND HELP

Our third proposal is heavily inspired by our original 1-minute collaborative video - a chant of our phrase at a public location while making "SEND HELP" papers. However, this proposal would be on a much larger scale and would take place somewhere like a movie theater, mall, parking lot, or courtyard. These locations were picked as they can be very packed and noisy, so we would have to be conscious of where we place the camera and we would have to speak loud as well. Each one of us would hold up adorned posters utilizing our message and also the words "SEND HELP" on pieces of paper as we kneel down. This method would measure the reactions of people in public, and how they would react in response to our chanting and kneeling.

Proposal #2: Sidewalk

Our second proposal was to write our message over a public sidewalk utilizing chalk. We would select a largely populated street, utilized by many pedestrians from dawn to dusk. This method would intend to document how individuals would interact with or react to our message while going about their daily lives - whether it be to stop and read it, engage with it, or simply step over it. This would tell us a lot about how typical people who live in the U.S. view political/social activism, or how they respond to important issues within our country. To read it means to acknowledge the problem, to engage with it means to push the message, and to step over it means to ignore the message altogether.

Proposal #1: Poster

Our first proposal was to create a poster delineating the previously created sentence, "An irresponsible security measure launches a national crisis." We planned to hold or hang the poster near a government agency center, such as a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services center, which would appeal primarily to immigrants, but also to typical everyday people who live in the U.S. This poster and statement would be a representation of the utter chaos that is immigration and natural security right now with things like the border, deportation raids, and overall political division.
