oki's project ideas

so I had a lot of ideas but I've narrowed it down

1) ART VIDEO- the subject matter is hair. it should be fun and weird and i need people to be in it and to help me with the technical stuff. ask me more in person or see cory he has a piece of paper with details. a lot of the acting is just moving around and dealing with costume. some of it doesn't even involve your face so don't be afraid to participate if you are camera shy.

2) IMAGINARY MAP- yes! lets make an imaginary map! using many mediums! full of dangerous creatures too.

3) ZINE- this is an ongoing project that I want to get started but it could be done for next year. I want ideas and input and help though.

Milan, Semar, and potential others - Installation in the works...

So Milan and I figured that since we are unable to frequent the meetings as much as we want to, we wanted to be able to make work still regardless of that fact. We are actually in a very convenient living situation, so why not work on a major project together.

What we are thinking of doing is working on a window installation with an emphasis on an oriental aesthetic and subtle details. We are primarily using wood contructions and paper. Generally, it will be a very very fancy frame that surrounds an image yet to be discussed, but definitely the actual window will be the main focus. We have talked about how we like white on white paintings and want to simulate that on the window panels via seperate, intricate folds and patterns.

Milan and I are still fleshing out the project, so hopefully construction will start very soon once the concept is solid. We'll keep you guys posted.

Hey All,

Let this be our project check-in post. Leave a comment giving your status; it can be a description of your idea/concept, a status report of where you are on your project, or even "I'm stumped"/"Help me". This helps us all to organize and see each others' work as well as let me know where people are, and who needs some guidance. If you are planning to do a project but haven't a clue where to start, please let us know in a comment.

I saw this and it reminded me of Sam's poster thing last year where everyone took a particular square and filled it according to the given colors and within the lines.
