proto 3 outline
Opening Quote:
Excerpt from a 2004 Sunday NY Times Magazine article By Ron Suskind.
The aide said that guys like me were ''in what we call the reality-based community,'' which he defined as people who ''believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.'' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ''That's not the way the world really works anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''
-The quotes are from a senior advisor to George W. Bush
SLIDE: my project...
I using my interests in live performance, interactive design and politics to create an interactive performance piece that integrates personal mobile technologies to augment a live action piece. I will create this piece to comment on the filtering or creation of reality created by today’s visual media and how society may passively accept it as truth.
SLIDE: my problem...
Create an interactive performance piece that turns audience into participator.
As a participant the actor will create commentary and content based on their own personal experience.
SLIDE: My Audience...
The target audience for the final piece will be a person with a cell phone or PDA that can send txt messaging. More specifically they will be interested in exercising their creative mind by creating or influencing content with their SMS enabled device to develop a narrative system. Ideally they will be in touch with the political and informational realities they experience.
SLIDE: the user diagram...
SLIDE: my plan...
-create an installation that allows users to act on a subject. The audience as embedded reporter. thinking and commenting on what they see vs. being told what to see or having what they see filtered. See their comments moved through context and seeing the meaning change. Allowing the community to interpret what they see as opposed to the filtering of information.
-on the way to build a staged performance.
slide 5 my working prototype...
-show sample screens
slide 6 further subject developments...
-The last supper:
simply change the meaning of the image, or create a very specific and serious message.
-abu graib:
In this example the audience may not be motivated to place their comment, afraid of creating a funny or inappropriate situation in an already very morbid scene. In this case the user has simply thought for one notions as to what the person with the speech bubble might say, they may not act on it, but they walk away thinking about it, whether they are politically intersted or not. The simple speech bubble attached to the prisoner creates a reaction or a desire to understand a deeper or larger meaning as to what is happening.
-bush in the TV with cowboy hat on:
The talking head, the Bush we know, on our tv, this is our reality. He's dressed in a cowboy hat, we understand that. When we see him in crawford he where's his cowboy hat, a man of the people, this becomes real unless you look deeper. We are allowed to place our reality of what we hear from him into the speech bubble.
