Exercise One

In the first class we were asked to take a space within the N3 campus and view and describe it as an installation. My group chose a spot that sits on the first floor but can be seen from the basement. For us the space resembled a cockpit for a future space station or the inside of a human being from the distant future. The absence of the chord extensions for one of the lights which we perceived to be the ears depicted the disintegration of an individual's potential to be in the now, the reality or even the disability of this individual to hear fully showing a clear decrease in a persons attention span. We called it 'The Control room' :

THE CONTROL ROOM

Imagine slices of window clouded over with dust and specks of burning white paint, behind which you can see blue, blue sky. 

On the sky is a stripe of smoke barrelling to the heavens of spaceships heading to Mars. 

The windows are placed at about fifteen feet above the ground. The ceilings are painted a stark white. You see, we are in the mind, the rearview mirror, the spectacles of the human mind, except time has gloriously passed. 

Not even the blue sky, with its strip of rocket smoke, is a sign of the past. 

There is a single white beam separating the white walls. There are two large glass electrical sockets with glass domes above the light bulbs on either side. One is connected to an electrical line that goes down the walls. The other is dysfunctional, has no line, alienated, pointless. 

We are within the brain of a futuristic human being and he faces sensory deprivation. He is only partially connected. 

The windows are his eyes, seeing into futuristic sky, swimming with spaceships and yet, these windows are dusty, paint-specked, unclear, dysfunctional. 

The mind of the human being sees into the future, and yet is unable to truly see. The mind of the human being has two electrical light ears, but he is partially deaf. 

Time has passed, and a spaceship goes to Mars. 

The Next class we watched a documentary film showcasing Ai Wie Wie which proved to be inspiring

The class after that we were asked to pair ourselves in groups of two and perform for the rest of college during lunch break. 

We chose to depict structure through a bunch of chairs that were placed one after the other forming a mini pathway within the usual corridor on the second floor and wanted to see if people adhere to a structure that was placed in front of them  but had not come to contact with before or instead breakaway and stick to routine. We video-recorded the whole thing and observed that a lot of people preferred to just break away from structure which was very interesting to watch
