Major Project

In the upcoming Monday, I'm supposed to present mine ideas in regards to the major project.

Mine concept was to create a destructible digital landscape in which the audiences are able to interact with. The objective of this project is to showcase and highlight the hidden destructive rage that lays domiant in each individual.

My idea is heavily influenced by Gustav Meztger, the propagator for the "Auto destructive Arts". "Auto Destructive Arts" is an art form (mainly performance driven) that conveys messages through the use of destructive means. An example of "Auto destructive Arts" is Yoko Ono's "Cut-piece", a performance art in which Yoko Ono outwardedly expressed her inner turmoil by allowing the audiences to snipe off her clothes piece by piece until she was naked.



Other examples of "Auto destructive Arts" include Jean Tinguely's Homage to New York. In the artwork, Jean wanted to convey the message of a self-renewing/ ever evolving city-scape ( destruction and renewal are part of "change" ) by creating a self destructive mechanism that literally breaks itself down.
