concepts and elaborations

So this is going to serve as my idea and project portfolio. Please feel free to critique and comment on everything. Here are some concepts ive currently been working on:

1. Digital Nomad – GPS

The concept for this piece comes from the idea of portable gps systems found in car. You plug where you want to go into them, and it tells you how to get there exactly. You put your faith into an electronic machine and expect it to go where you want. The idea behind our (me and Justin Pierce) gps system is that you dont get to pick where you want to go, the electronics pick for you. It is interesting to me to be lead around blindly by electronics, and brings up the question of who is leading who in the electronic age.

2.Pledge

This is something im thinking of doing in next semester’s electronic media class. my concept would include a cuttout of each state of the us, and would light up or turn off everytime the state is pressed. It would be interesting to me to find people from every state and get them to say one word from the pledge of allegance. I think this would be an interesting view of different people from different places in the country and would provide some insight into how the people in this country are different but how we are also the same.
