Theme: Commercialization/Capitalism
Title: Money Grows on Trees
Genre: Mockumetry, Comedy
For our final assignment, we will be working on a video installation. The idea came from shopping mall pillars with advertisement on it. Instead of static images, it would be a video of interview of an economist answering why our economic is not doing well.
An example of the dialogue is: “The reason for the low harvest of money this year is due to deforestation and global warming.”
Capitalism and pro-consumerism is putting heavy strain on Earth’s resources – overpopulation and overusage.
We thought of 3 ideas for our presentation of this video installation:
- Pillar
The pillar will have 4 projector shining on each side with each screen coordinating with each other.
