13. Viral Intervention: Final Artifact

For our final artifact, we have decided to display our piece similarly to how we did when we were in the public space. Having our artifact displayed this way definitely allowed the audience to see the message we were trying to portray, along with an opportunity to think about the deeper meaning behind this piece. It also gave the artifact itself an opportunity to be seen knowing that it was going unnoticed when in the public space. Although we did not have anyone holding the signs as we did in public, we displayed it basically exactly how it was during documentation. It allows the audience to still make our goal of "making a change" or self-reflecting.

For this proposal, it would require us to take long exposure photos (preferably at night), add our sentence to the photos and create QR codes for people to find it online. Our targeted audience would be people in the more city areas such as Brickell and Wynwood areas. Reason being is because there would be a larger audience and we believe that more people would want to engage in this concept around those areas. In terms of the QR codes, along with the long exposure photos, we would create a video of our sentence to continue to keep the concept aligned.

For this proposal, we have decided to create a zine using our selected sentence. Our targeted audience would be college students and adults as the zine would be geared towards a feel of self-reflection. With our sentence being “longing for the blinding chaos to be extinguished in stifled apprehension,” our goal is to have people think about what they are doing and what they could do to improve, or remove the anxiety and stress. We would create multiple zines and have them be accessible in public places like grocery stores and the public library because that is where we would be able to find most of our audience.

3. QUESTION - Do you believe that including power and values are important aspects when it comes to resolving a situation? Are there situations that have not been achieved in the past or the present that are considered to have not “grown old?” These questions would achieve a very open conversation that can have multiple opinions and thoughts.

For our presentation, we decided to take an approach to show someone letting go of the chaos that is causing the stifled apprehension. The sun played the role of the "blinding" aspect of our sentence to interpret the effects of the chaos that was present in their life. The object that was written on was used to basically write down and diminish the negativity that was causing anxiety. The wind blowing it away was a great interpretation of the getting thrown in the opposite direction and the actress walking away from it in order to move on.

"Longing for the blinding chaos to be extinguished in stifled apprehension."
