Put Something Here Mid-term Assignment
Inspired by Krszytof Wodiczko, who "put" video installations into public space by projecting them onto architectural structures that had political and historical significance to the place, you are asked to base this assignment on issues/opinions that are important to you and reflect in some way, some condition of your own identity.
Put something into public space that is also directed to where you put it. Or not, it could be something that travels, has an "anywhere" aspect to it. Either choice is fine, but it must be specific.
Document it.
The media can be the documentation, or the media can be the thing you put into the space, or place.
This assignment also asks you to consider what is public. What is public space or place.
Wodiczko attempts to give voice to the vanquished. He defines the social "polis" as a narrative (both physical and psychological) constructed by the victors. Therefore, all others fall into different degrees of invisibility. If you were to try to make visible the invisible, to put something that is invisible into public space or place, what would that be?
