Task List

In this project, we were asked to collaborate with the 2D/ 3D design class to create instillations in order to convey a message to the public. Our approach was to make our statement shared in the most satirical way possible, as a “social experiment”. American culture, especially online, is very fast paced and filled with “brain rot”, that it is easy to overlook more serious topics that should have most of our attention instead. The posters we designed where made to be misleading, some funny and some not so funny, and a missing poster as to comment on how easy it is for people to fall for fake news.

For this idea, we will write our sentence, “This attack of administrative errors has no connection to Justice”, on an American flag. Because of the strong political message this sentence implies, the delivery of it must match to make sense. An American flag is a symbol of our government and where we live, which is what is being discussed through this sentence. This flag will either be held up on a window as a “curtain “, be put before a door on the ground as a doormat, or somehow held up on a flag pole. This can serve as a social experiment to see how many people will actually stop and read the message, and how many might just step over it and go about their day.

To circle back, if it weren’t for the existence of social media, do you think you would take as many pictures as you do now? Do you feel pressure to post pictures consistently? Have there been any moments that you felt a picture was unnecessary but would be a great picutre to post online?

“This catastrophic attack of administrative errors has no connection to justice.” was the sentence we worked with to make this video. Because of the very political stance this sentence implies, we wanted the context of how it was presented to align with it. So we decided to film the video in the law building on campus and wrote our message on the local newspaper.

Emotion Installation-Final

Femininity is something I’ve never fully embraced because of all the hatred, and animosity towards women. A lot of young girls might have grown up as a “pick me” in hopes to gain validation of other boys in their grade. Whether it was trying really hard to be a tomboy and “hating the color pink”, or being the mean girl that always put other girls down. All women have fallen victim to the societal pressures that exist the moment they are born, and that is what I’m trying to convey with this piece.
