-maybe paint tv with clear glossy coat.
TRYING TO RECALL MEMORIES IS TRYING TO USE A REMOTE WITHOUT BATTERIES.
-laying on side? standing on end?
-gloss on this too?
-batteries laying beside remote?
TRYING TO RECALL MEMORIES IS TRYING LIGHT A ROOM WITH A BROKEN LIGHT.
-i would use old hanging light harvested from abandoned house
-i would break a light and put it into light fixture
-would hang off of piece of wood that is attached to the wall
i really like the idea of having trouble recalling memories. my favorite is the first one with the television. although it is rather simple, it really does convey your idea very well. the other ideas are alittle harder to see to me, and if they are done very simply, it might hurt those pieces.
ReplyDeleteI like the broken light idea. It's like the light bulb that shines whenever you have an idea, but because you can not recall what you are trying to remember, it doesn't shine
ReplyDeleteI feel the last one is the strongest because we tend to associate remembering things or getting ideas with light bulbs. For the first idea rather than having a black screen on the tv find a tape or something and play white noise because when you recall a memory you vaguely know what you're trying to think of, but it just won't get clear. The use of the sound of the white noise could strengthen this piece maybe even make it stronger than the last. The second one doesn't exactly convey the inability to remember something to me. I'm not sure how to strengthen it at this time. The last one I feel is fine as is for now.
ReplyDeleteOut of the 3 I definitely like the tv idea and the light idea. The tv idea because often times when you do remember things it is kind of like reviewing home movies inside your head and sometimes you cant find the right movie so you end up staring at a blank screen. I also like the light idea because often times we try to remember stuff and when we do its like a light bulb went off but when we dont we feel like the broken light
