Project Conceptual Statement

As a group, please write a short blog post with a revised and refined project concept. The primary objective is to reformulate your individual ideas and interests into a joint project. This will require continued thinking through the artistic purpose and visualizing the final result.

Please be sure to address the course themes specifically:

• How does the kinetic performance blend human and machine collaboration?

• What is the experience of the viewer in relation to both the human and the machine?

• What is your artistic inquiry?

• How is this idea expressed using movement and behavior?

The general prompt questions from the Project Pitch exercise are also still relevant.

Learning Objectives

1. Collaboratively developing an artistic concept for a kinetic sculpture installation.

2. Visualizing a kinetic visual representation of an artistic concept.

3. Scaling an idea to match technical constraints and resolving it within limitations.

Deliverables

Short blog post including:

1. A one-paragraph statement of the concept. Think of this as the gallery text or program notes for the piece; suggest the intent and outcome. But please keep this in plain language, that’s more clear and natural than academic discourse.

2. Concept sketches illustrating what a viewer might see.

3. Please identify a candidate set of hardware and software resources which could feasibly implement the idea.
