Site Specific Installation
In this project you will be required to make a new work which takes into account the physical space in which it is presented. This can either be a site specific work or an installation that is set up in a gallery type space. You will be required to consider how the exterior (analogue) components either chosen or already present in the space influence the reading of the intervention you have created. This project has the potential to be collaborative and you may choose to work with someone either because the size or complexity of the work warrants it or because you would like to make use of a peer’s particular skill in a different discipline.
Collaboration must be thoroughly motivated and clearly demonstrated in the amount of work part taken by each party!
Dates and time for presentation will be considered in relationship to your needs, the nature of the work and possibly the availability of staff to view your installation. It may be possible due to the nature of your work that you will have to submit documentation of the work rather than the work itself for assessment. It is therefore important that staff see the work in its original state during the term.
Remember you have limited time for this project so if you can see ways in which this project may develop, make a simplified version and save a more elaborate version for the second half of the year when you can develop it more fully.
Time Line: 18 April – 23 May
You may want to include some kind of interactivity, whether it be the clicking of a mouse, a stimulation of an electronic sensor or a simple viewer presence in a virtual, theatrically constructed installation is another core principle of DA work.
Interactivity in your artwork may manifest in many different ways. We will discuss in class some of the potential pitfalls of such work and the understanding of the platforms of work in which one may best expect a viewer to interact with the work.
