MY HUNCH:
\n<\/span><\/span>A series of\u00a0<\/span><\/span>kinetic interactive sculptures, all responsive to the viewer. Each Sculpture responsive to a different sense.<\/p>\n

PARAGRAPH ABOUT THIS WORK:
\nThese sculptures are alive. They come to life as the viewer approaches them. They move. Breath. React. Connect. I think of them as creatures. Each having one sense for an input, and another for an output. Together they are a family, or you might think of them as a little zoo.
\nA fun, crazy exhibition, were the viewer can become apart of the show.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

FREE WRITING:<\/span>
\nArt should be fun.\u00a0<\/span>Engaging. Inviting. It should make you think. You should leave\u00a0<\/span>different\u00a0from how you arrived at the exhibit.<\/span>
\nI want the exhibition to be an exciting thrilling experience for the viewer. I want the viewer to feel like they are bringing the pieces to life.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe pieces should be connected to each other. I’m thinking of the pieces as these creatures. Each of them having one\u00a0<\/span>senses\u00a0as a form of input,\u00a0and one as a form of output.<\/span>
\nAlso, I see this work as my\u00a0<\/span>personal\u00a0attempt to break the rules of the traditional museum, where you have to be\u00a0<\/span>quiet, and just\u00a0<\/span>observe\u00a0the art. Having sculpturing in my background, it is so\u00a0<\/span>dissatisfying for me to not be allowed to touch a sculpture. I see it as half the experience.<\/p>\n

FORMS:
\n> Sculpture
\n> Dolls
\n>\u00a0Performance
\n> Interactive drawings
\n> Projection Mapping<\/p>\n

MATERIALS:
\n> Clay
\n> Molded \/ sculptured Plastic
\n> Wood
\n> Sand
\n> Fabric
\n> Computer (projection)<\/p>\n

SCALE:
\n> As big as an elephant
\n> Medium as a\u00a0backpack
\n> Small as a mouse (fit in mu hand)<\/p>\n

AFFECTS:
\nI see it as a series that build a family. Or a bunch of animals that build a zoo. So Each sculpture has its own personality.
\n> Mother. Loving. Over baring. Nagging. Asking too many questions.
\n> Father.\u00a0Sturdy. Reliable. Macho.
\n> Big sister. Rockstar. Cool. Wants a lot of attention.
\n> Little brother. Annoying. Nagging. Also wants to be the center of attention. Winey.
\nIn the case where it feels more like a zoo:
\n> Lion. King of the jungle. Loud roar.
\n> Monkey. Fun. Funny. Mimics the viewer.
\n> Mouse. Quick. Small.\u00a0Squeaky.
\n> Giraff.\u00a0Arrogant. Day dreaming.
\n> Cat.\u00a0Flirty. Queen. Clean.<\/p>\n

VERBS:
\n> Excite
\n> Enroll
\n> Make think
\n> Make laugh
\n> Connect
\n> Fun
\n> Delight<\/p>\n

MOTIVATION\u00a0(WHY?!):
\n> I want to make interactive kinetic art
\n> Invent myself as an interactive artist
\n>\u00a0Defy ‘traditional’ museums rules
\n> Leaving ITP with a basic set of PCOM skills
\n> Practicing my\u00a0beliefs (which are believing that by involving the viewer in your art, you will get them to relate and connect to the piece on a high level)
\n> I want to see this\u00a0installation<\/p>\n

INSPIRATION:
\n> Daniel Rozin<\/a>.\u00a0First interactive exhibition I ever went to
\n> Camille Utterback<\/a>. Amazing interactive artist. Very\u00a0immediate\u00a0viewer\u00a0response
\n> Theo Jansen<\/a>. One of my favorite kinetic artists in the world. The movement of his beasts are remarkable
\n> Reuben Margolin<\/a>. The movement in his sculptures is phenomenal
\n> Yayoi Kusama. Love the obsession in her work. The way it feels like it takes over you. Huge fun factor
\n> Sculpture gardens
\n> Toys (how FAO Schwartz used to display their toys. Inviting you to play)
\n> Arduino. Programing made easy
\n> Going to museums with my family. Seeing how much they don’t understand.\u00a0Listening\u00a0to their\u00a0frustrations<\/span><\/p>\n

IDEAL AUDIENCE:
\n> Adults. from the art scene
\n> Adults not from the art scene
\n> New Yorkers
\n> Teenagers
\n> Me
\n> ITPiers<\/p>\n

CONTEXT \/ LOCATION:
\n> The New Museum<\/a>
\n> Kinetica Museum<\/a>
\n> Exploratorim<\/a>
\n> 3LD<\/a><\/p>\n

AFFINITIES:
\n> Camille Utterback.\u00a0I feel she has work\u00a0most\u00a0similar\u00a0to what I am interested in doing<\/a>.
\n> Daniel Rozin. Exhibition in Israel. All of his mirrors.
\n> Moma. The Rain Room<\/a>
\n> Guggenheim. James Turrell<\/a><\/p>\n

FUTURE PLANES (RESEARCH):
\n> Stories. I want to build a story around all of this project. Or build my own story, or build off a known one)
\n> Senses. They are 5 known senses, and up to 21 arguable ones. I’m interested in the arguable ones…
\n> Sensores. Motors. Actual technical details
\n> Sketches. Sketch as many possible options as possible
\n> Materials. Choose what materials I want to work with and start playing with it<\/p>\n

BIG ENOUGH?
\nI am sure this project is big enough to interest me for the whole semester. Maybe it will interest me for the next 10 years. I want to plan out the creatures (an initial plan) and then focus at the end of the semester on building 1-3 finished creatures (depending on the scale and complexity).<\/p>\n
