Process Post # 1

For my Final Project, I have already gathered my materials. I have 4 tombstones to symbolize my 4 years of college as well as 4 bins. The bins will act as graveyards and will be filled with items from each of my years here at the University Of Tampa. I am still figuring out how to attach the tombstones to the bins, but they will each symbolize the death of my time here.

I am still working on gathering all videos and clips but it has been an enjoyable time going through my old camera rolls and taking a stroll down memory lane.

Final Project Proposal

For my final project, I wanted to do an overall reflection of my time in college and how much I have grown and changed as a person since moving to Tampa from Chicago. Being that I left everything I ever knew to come to a new place where I knew no one, coming to Tampa to continue my education has been a completely life changing experience that I want to try and encapsulate. I want to use old videos from high school in a juxtaposition with videos from freshman year - senior year.

Installation Directions

If this installation were to be featured in a gallery, there would need to be specific instructions on how to set up this installation if I was not there. There are definitely some key components to this installation that would need to go right in order for this project to look correct. First of all, the two "Grave" pits would need to be placed down next to each other. You drop the two bins first, then gently lay the grave plots on top of the bins. They stay in place because of the front base. Next, you fill each grave with the designated props, each in their own bag with the year labeled (15, 16, 17, 18). After everything is in place, you put the projector in the taped off area and plug it in. Connect the projector to my computer and open Mad Mapper. Open "Final Installation" on the desktop and set the mirror display to full screen, and let it run baby!

Process Post #2

A plot of foam board to act as my graveyard topper. I have gathered all of my supplies for my graves and have also bought stakes to keep the graves in the foam board. I want this project to be more of a memorial than a creepy graveyard feel, so I am picking music to accompany my projection - possibly something from RENT :)
