First day back and we had a little crit just to see where we were all at with our ideas. We each presented to a table and then got feedback on the concept and had a discussion about where the project could go. I explained that I was looking at the idea of something being in two places at once and the idea of parallel universes and time travel. This turned into a really interesting discussion about the final idea being an installation on a much larger scale, for example a whole room. Or even two rooms, that are the same, but only slightly different as if they are parallel universes. Or an installation that films the audience as they move around the room and then plays the recording back to them or on a slight time delay so that they are watching themselves from 5 minutes ago. And/or the film is projected onto the wall of the other room effectively rendering the person in two places at once.
As to what's inside the room, I still like the idea of the Fluxus movement and the idea of found objects. For example, typewritten letters, maybe just a mysterious box in the middle of the floor (Schrodinger's Cat...), a collection of photographs/polaroids that visually demonstrate the theories, diagrams etc... To give it slightly more structure, I was thinking maybe there could be a loose narrative running through. Say, the room is the office/lab of a famous scientist, perhaps Schrodinger. There could be two letters, one in each room, dated and timed the same, and are identical up until halfway where a different event happens in each letter, making the rest of the letter completely different to the other. I think the project is slightly veering off the course of my project proposal...
In other news...
This made me giggle.
Probably wouldn't have understood it if I wasn't such a neek...
