So a few things have changed since my last proposal update. I am still keeping my same basic idea, but i have definitely changed a few details around.
I have just purchased my fabric for the strips on the carwash brushes. I purchased navy blue felt and have so far cut 20 yards worth of strips out. I am going to work with david dreyer and cut a 3 by 3 wood platform as the base, then drill a hole in the middle and attach a 7 foot wooden pole onto it. I have not yet decided if i will make it so that it can rotate when you walk through it. From there ill attach wire to the pole and put plaster strips onto it. Once it dries im going to paint it navy blue, then from there attach the strips onto it. I have been researching how i can make the felt some how mold to a certain shape so that my structure has volume and looks like its moving. I have bought a substance called "stiffy" which is basically a glue substance that makes any material stiff. I tested it out and it did not really work like i wanted it to...It just made the felt stiff instead of letting me form it to a certain shape. I have decided to stiffen each piece, then nail it to the strucutre. In order to give it more volume, im going to attach a small piece of foam or wood to the base of each strip so it stands on end a little. this is going to be the basic look for my bristle, then i'll repeat the process and make one more. I'm going to place the two next to eachother in a corner so that the viewer has to squeeze through them in order to view the rest of my exhibit.
The video has changed a lot. I originally made two. One video displayed different clips of children crying while going through a carwash. These scenes were interrupted by flashes of tv snow and color bars. The second video was different scenes of a car moving through a carwash, with jaws inspired music playing in the background. I was planning on playing these two movies at the same time to evoke a censory overload. However the jaws music didn't fit in well with the scene in the carwash, and playing the two together didnt work. The baby movie is dramatic, loud, and overwhelming, and the carwash video turned out to be a little bland and repetative. So to change this, I have decided to incorperate all of these clips into one video.
It's going to repeat the pattern
1. view from inside a carwash with jaws music.
2. babies crying
3. snow and or color bars
It's going to be on one screen now instead of two. I still need to figure out if this video will be played on a tv or a projector, I can't really decide that until I know how much space I'll be able to use once my strucutres are built and put in place.
