FACS Installation Art Fair

So for my Fine Arts Cultural Studies class, our final project was a group assignment where we try and create a piece of “interdisciplinary art” a.k.a Intermedia, Fluxus, blah blah.

My group came up with this weird installation thing plucked from the Iraq Friendly Fire Cockpit video, we built a wall of images and transparencies, it made a lot of sense.. and I just can’t go into the full details right now because I’m in picture mode! Hahaha, basically each group from the class of 300 was assigned a location in one of three connected buildings: Center for Film & Theatre, Center for Fine Arts, and Accolade West. We were in ACW but were in this really bad location that nobody came to. So after we presented our “piece” to our T.A. we took a spool of string, and taped it to the floor, all across the main lobby, into the stairwell, up three or more flights of stairs, out the doors on the third floor, and all the way to the door of our tutorial room. It was soo much fun. People were AMAZED, they could see the ground floor from the third floor and couldn’t believe it was one continuous piece of string ALL THE WAY DOWN. We were bored, what can I say?

Here are some of the photos:

OH YA! FIRST, we made giant arrows towards our installation on the floor with electrical tape, and THEN we started with string.
