The sentence our group is using for the project is "First we free up the generative spotlight warming up the world." The sentence alludes to global warming and climate change. So as stated, in the images above, we will be painting over a very large balloon (weather balloon size) to resemble planet earth and filling it with confetti. Then we will parade the ballon around Bayfront park in Downtown Miami in a similar fashion to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. After we parade the balloon around, we will pop it in front of a large audience. Popping it in front of a large audience may startle some people because of the loud sounds, but it will be theatrical because it will be accompanied with flying confetti. Also, the balloon will no longer resemble a globe because it will be popped. Once the ballon has popped there is no longer an "Earth", and once humans exhaust all our resources there will no longer be an "Earth". So this project would serve as a wake up call and as a metaphor to the current day climate change crisis.

“First we free up the generative spotlight warming up the world.”

My specific article was centered around the topic of global warming and climate change, which led me to choose the word “warming.” My team members chose various other topics and words, but it was interesting to see how the context of the words seemed to shift based on the arrangement of the sentence. Various words that originally had nothing to do with each other now seemed to have an overall correlation to climate change. As a group, we decided to display these words individually on sheets of paper, only coloring the specific words chosen based on the articles. We then displayed the papers outside the university dorms where cars often drive by, taping them to metal poles alongside the road.
