Installation Plans

I'm actually pretty excited for the installation project. It's a very unique assignment and probably something I'd never have the opportunity to do otherwise. I also have a really great group, which always helps. The idea for our installation is to attempt to convey the different affects of mass media (particularly the consequences of overconsumption of it) on the individual. We came up with a lot of bizarre ideas in order to express this theme, and I think if done right they will work out nicely. For instance, we want to show an individual representing the deadly sin of gluttony (stuffing his face on a couch disgustingly) as he watches a film we will project onto a large TV set that Ben is going to build. I think it will look interesting in the end, but my only fear is that our idea may be a bit overdone. Many art projects nowadays choose to direct their focus to the effects of media consumption, but hopefully ours will be done in a way unique enough to allow us to stand apart from the crowd.
