A.1 The Mobile Site
Assignment:
You will develop a piece that addresses mobility and/or the mobile site. Mobile sites to consider are cars, trains, subway systems, bikes, pedestrians, scooters, boats, cabs, elevators/escalators, and also sites such as newspapers or various mobile technology. You can interpret this assignment through literal and/or conceptual lenses.
This piece is to be presented to the class on campus. Therefore, as a class, we will most likely view your piece through its documentation. This documentation can become a separate piece/object taking the mobile site as inspiration or it can be presented as straightforward documentation. Formats to be considered are sculpture, installation, photography, video, sound, light, collage, drawings/schematics, and maps. Also, consider the strongest form to translate your concepts to an audience that has not experienced your mobile site.
Questions and points of consideration:
· Think about your daily experience s moving through the city.
· Consider materials/objects that are present at your site(s) to construct your piece.
· How will an audience experience your work (potentially, you will have multiple audiences with this piece)? Also, consider how an audience in a gallery or museum (or for us, in our critique) might access this piece secondhand through documentation, etc.
· Collaboration is encouraged (with your audience or another member or other members in the class).
