god?

Inspiration:

We have created God's image. It is as imaginary as Bigfoot, dragons and vampires. A physical representation of God would be symbolic of this concept. The materials used would represent the different forms of "God" that people believe in. A group project would be ideal and best reinforce this concept. Detail: Three structures of about 15 to 20 feet, constructed with wood, plastic, glass, and metal spell out the word GOD. Long fluorescent lights are installed on the structures, to make the whole structure glow and illuminate bright shining light.

Structure would be hung five feet above the floor by metal wires.

Digital timers would be placed on each individual structure and set to count down from 7 days. For the first 6 days, it is opened for people to walk around it. On the 7th day, it would be enclosed behind a glass wall and when the timer runs out, the structure will explode.



(Version 2)

Structure is made with only glass. Alternative method of destruction is using a specific sound frequency which resonates to shatter the glass structures.

Materials:

Structures will be filled religious and holy materials such as crosses, statues and Bibles. Shattered pieces of these materials will be on the ground as results of the explosion.

THe hOMeLesS

Description:

To show the daily life of homeless people in New York through stacks of TVs in a specifically designed space.

Detail:

Tiny cameras are hidden in hats and clothes. Clothes are given to the homeless. Cameras record the daily hardships of a homeless. Cameras are preferred to be at eye level. No faces will be exposed. Ask for permission(tip). (Didnt want to ask before bcuz it wouldnt be natural) Minimum of 30 different homeless persons. Each video will be carefully edited and displayed on old 15-20" TVs (no flat screen). TVs are stacked up to 6 feet. Rows of TV are aligned to create a secluded pathway. The middle of the pathway is widened to give a circular space where the viewer can get a full sense of how many homeless people suffer each day.
Inspiration: Homeless Encounter.

Location: Large public areas, Mall, Airport, Park

Light show behind fogged glass

Description:

An audience of 20 people sits behind a fogged glass. A set of colored lights are automated to move and flash to music, creating a visually (aesthetically?) pleasing light show.

Detail:

A dark room is separated into two rooms using a glass wall. A group of about 20 viewers are seated on one side, facing the glass. On the opposite side, vivid lights flash in the dark to music. The two rooms will also have a significant temperature difference resulting in the formation of fog/condensation on the glass. The fog will help to create a glowing effect with the flashing lights.

Inspiration: Sex in a car.
