Craft as Collaboration
I want my installation to defamiliarize people’s grasp of the participant and spectator by creating a 3-room art experiment, in which 3 three rooms have a simple prompt of either “draw, write, or build”. The rooms will have varying information that will be influencing everyone’s individual experience. Every experience will be different, and when you leave you will have left something behind.The goal is to collect and display the projects of all 3 rooms at the end of the day. Their art will be influenced simultaneously by each other and by the prompt and objects in their room. Since there will be live feeds, they will not know if they are leading or following. Overall, the installation should showcase the power of neutral influencing, with people’s natural creative tendencies and instincts either leading, or being led into creating original art. It will be an unintentional collaboration between exhibitors, who will both be audience and participants. The collective look of all the artwork displayed will be the art piece itself.
