Example of one work:

Our focus for this project was to raise awareness for the depleting glaciers on our Earth and the facts that follow it. We encourage the users to do what they normally do: consume things in order to ‘save’ the Earth. However, we give them the ultimatum that all these things that we think are saving the earth and its inhabitants, which are actually harming the system.

Example of an Artist’s work:
Artwork: ‘Corps etranger’ 1994 , by Mona Hatoum
http://www.newmedia-art.org/cgi-bin/show-oeu.asp?ID=150000000007761&lg=GBR
Hatoum’s work really encapsulates one’s body and mind in her art work therefore making me feel like she is able to create an unusual experience for the viewers. It is an art work that consists of a video, shot with an endoscopic camera, ‘exploring’ the cavities of her inside organs. The video is projected in a circle on the floor of a cylindrical structure which the viewer enters through one of the two narrow doors situated on either side of it, while a soundtrack, of the endoscopic ‘journey’ accompanies the video image. Firstly, the cylinder itself, confines the viewer to the space, as if she was the camera or in Hatoum’s colon and organs themselves. They are forced to look at the only thing that is illuminated in that space and that is the video. The way the video is projected onto the floor helps the viewer feel more like they are entering and intruding her personal space, a woman’s sacred body. In addition, the chance that the viewer is given to even step onto the video itself grants them the chance to ‘enter’ the space of ‘Hatoum’s colon’. This revelation of her true self, her real body that no one could see from the surface was very intimate therefore very effective with the viewer.
