12. Viral Intervention: Final Documentation

For our final project documentation, we aimed to showcase all the locations where we strategically hung up flyers to maximize visibility and attract the desired viewers. We visited a diverse range of areas, including busy streets, popular public spaces, community centers, and local businesses, to ensure our flyers reached a broad and varied audience. Our goal was to effectively promote our project by targeting high traffic locations that would generate the most exposure. By documenting this, we want to demonstrate the extent of our outreach and the thoughtful planning behind our strategy. This comprehensive approach was essential to engaging a wider community and increasing awareness of our project.

Viral Intervention: Budget

For our video we aimed to explore the emerging landscape of AI-generated art and the growing concerns regarding its impact on creative freedom. We wanted to highlight how AI art tools often limit the true creative expression of artists by reducing the role of human intuition and originality. To convey this message, we chose to film in Michaels, a place traditionally associated with artistic supplies and creative inspiration. In a world increasingly dominated by digital technology and AI, the legitimacy of AI as an art form is being questioned. Our sentence that we came up with was , “In the battle of innovation, the loss of creativity will be the death of the artist,” emphasizing the importance of preserving authentic artistic expression among all these technological advances.

P9.Emotion:

For this piece I chose to use found objects to represent the personal memories I shared with my dad while working on my car. I decided to incorporate old parts that were removed from the vehicle, along with a mix of tools and other miscellaneous items that we frequently used during the countless hours we spent together working . Each object holds a story, reflecting the bond we built through our shared labor and the nostalgia that accompanies those moments. By assembling these items, I aim to celebrate the memories that have shaped our relationship.

For this piece, I was inspired by the works of Gabriela Orozco, Martha Rosler, and Matthew Barney. I developed my work to explore the emotional weight and memories stored in found objects. Each artist's unique approach to incorporating everyday materials resonated with my vision of how personal artifacts can capture profound feelings and narratives. My piece reflects on the idea that emotions can be contained within a small, defined space. I chose to focus on the emotion of nostalgia by using old car parts and tools that my dad and I used while restoring my car. Each of these parts represents the memories we shared, encapsulating the stories and connections tied to our time spent together.
