Prestige Worldwide opened up Boats&Hoes Studio today. Working collaboratively we have managed to create two performance pieces, several more A1 manipulations, finalise booklet designs and even generate an idea for a flash piece. A long day with alot to show. Nice. Clock in tomorrow at 10am. Repeat.
Expenses: three salads, one chicken wrap, one fudge bar, three cokes, one pepsi.

Screenprint Experiments/Manipulations

colbeck and mike take prestige to screenprint and get reet messy....




friday saw the development for one aspect of Prestige's tangent, with the idea in mind that all are equal, we set out to prove with point by making instructional posters (for our furniture) but manipulating aspects to create a new instruction. For example, if we are to remove the 3 inch screw image from all areas of the poster, you will not be able to follow the process correctly, thus the final outcome will not function properly, therefore this proves our interpretation of all are equal...if we apply this process to society, and were to name a component as a person, for example a african american, and removed him from society; the furniture piece, then the same would occur, society would not function properly as one aspect of it has been disturbed. this is a natural balance, that is delicate. this theory runs thoughout all of our work, and our aim is to prove jesse jackson correct. the above experiments work very well, we removed ALL aspects from the manual, therefore the viewer cannot make the item in question...this has lead us onto value the instruction manual as a component (we shall explore that tangent in upcoming sessions).

experiments











a few experiments looking at key figures in the american civil rights movement




Outcome formats







Starting point A1 sheet pster - content, social structure, relations between different groups etc. Folowing the instruction observer is folding poster, different negative aspects are comming out, and have been removed in process continuation.






And so it begins...


one of several paths we are following within this project, a large format poster that explains the formation of an ikea unit, manipulated to relate to society. We will continue this process, and manipulate it further.
