For our team project proposals, we each proposed an idea of an idea for an installation space that includes a drawing into space aspect. For this project, we each individually proposed an idea. After voting on which idea we wanted to contribute in, we were able to choose which project we wanted to participate in. I enjoyed the freedom of being able to choose which project we wanted to help out with, rather than being forced to do something we didn’t want to do.

For our group’s project, we decided to create an interactive sculpture where people could walk inside. After we decided to create a cave-like structure, we bounced around ideas that would help this go smoothly. For the base infrastructure, we used long flexible rods, connected with zip ties, and stuck into the ground. The best shape for the “cave” was a sort of quarter sphere. Meg’s initial proposal included a honeycomb-like patter. To achieve this we used plastic tubing creating circles of varying sizes connecting pig panels together with zip ties.

This project was a very minimalist structure in that we used very few materials to create something that we were happy with. I love minimalist art, sculptures, etc. When done correctly I think they’re very effective and so I think ours was effective with what we wanted to create.
