Accumulation: Week #1

The interest in Shan Raoufi's project lays largely in the in the element of the variable. Reactions were recorded by the artist in a vulnerable state, both physically and emotionally. To me the importance is the overall interaction and how the they are received by the varying social strata.

Irene Chan's project deals with product packaging and retail practice which is not normally seen in the conscious mind of the consumer, Essentially, creating evidence that can be seen in a form that is removed from its primary existence. Altering the view of the original source material is interesting.

I plan to collect evidence of angels. The evidence will only be seen in written or photo documentation. Collecting will take the evidence one step further from its origin. Where evidence is normally used to prove something true, mine is to show a rather ridiculous formation of proof. Perhaps it will be mocking towards the popular idea of angels.
