12. Viral Intervention: Final Artifact

For our final project, we created a 3d model of the Eclipse. Our sentence says “amidst the crisis, the states” view the eclipse, and so we wanted to represent that through the figures. We chose to use colored paper to show them on fire and missing multiple limbs. However we chose to shape them with their hands up as if they were “celebrating”, another key term in our sentence. We used led lights to demonstrate the eclipse and hand painted the styrofoam balls used. We also hand painted or splattered stars on the black cardboard surface in the background. Our main idea was to make it similar to a model you would see in a science project, except it has a different meaning and contains different elements that set it apart from a scientific model. Overall, the collaboration between 2d elements and 3d elements helped us to create a project that was both artistically pleasing and physically interactive.

For our documentation, we chose to film in home depot. This spot relates to our theme in multiple ways, although it seems unusual. During the eclipse, many people bought or used materials to view it such as goggles, lawn chairs, tents, umbrella’s, and other viewing materials to watch the eclipse safe and comfortably. Because Home Depot served as a place that offers products to safely view the eclipse, we wanted to film ourselves walking with our 3d model of the eclipse. We also chose to wear white “lab coats” to fit with our theme of a science project. We also stood in public areas like the entrance and exit and filmed people walking in and viewing our project. Our main idea was to get reactions and see how people view our project in an industrial space.

For our final proposal, we decided to do a 3d model. We plan to use styrofoam balls and hand paint the moon, sun, and earth. We also plan to create miniature people out of airdry clay, and use colored appears to create flames. This directly related to our sentence. what our project is based on, where it states “amidst the crisis, the states celebrate”. We also plan to use led lights to accurately model the action of the eclipse and the effect it has on the earth, which is casting a shadow.

For this idea, I thought of visually representing the sentence word for word. I wanted to display the eclipse in the background, with figures in the shape of states, likes the states of America, holding hands celebrating while watching the eclipse. I thought i could represent the crisis through the fire that’s surrounding the body of the states. For the way it’s displayed, i thought of painting it or even projecting it in a public area.

For this idea we thought of doing a painting that. is supposed to be read as text from left to right. First, it represents crisis: battle, desperation, fear, anger. However, the solar eclipse is calling for notice, despite all of this chaos, which is then represented on the right side. Attracted by the uniqueness of this event, people gathered, putting aside their disagreements and problems in order to enjoy the eclipse.

Concept: Since our generated statement centers around the crisis the eclipse creates, we decided to capture the idea of observing this natural phenomenon through the makeup of a solar system. Using the idea of a solar system display, we will demonstrate what occurs during the eclipse but with a twist. Half of the earth will be placed flat on the board and constructed in a manner that represents an eye. The idea is to reflect how we see the eclipse as a whole and to somewhat communicate the panic that brings attention to it.

our four words for our sentences were; eclipse, states, crisis, and celebrate. we wanted to created something relating to those words so we formed the sentence “amidst the crisis, the states celebrate as the eclipse’s shadow covers the sun.” we chose to represent it through the “crisis” or chaotic running and bumbling into each other. then we join together and all look up as if watching the eclipse, which happened recently.

FLAG RACE CHALLENGE

For this assignment, we had to create a flag and race with a partner to a middle point and plant our flags. I raced Zahrah at a park, and our middle point was a viewing tower. The theme of my flag was nature and I chose to represent this through a figure, which can be viewed as "Mother Nature". I think the location of our flag race related to that theme since the park was full of nature.

For my flag, I wanted it to represent fertility, nature, and energy. I chose to portray it with a woman, may be interpreted as “Mother Nature”. I also plan to include vines and leaves. I wanted this symbol because I think this concept to be I,portent to me and I hope that it connects with others who view it. For my race, my partner and I will be in a park so my flag is in relation to that natural space.
