- A detailed description of your Artist Statement.
Choices, something that mankind have never been able to fully comprehend. An action to choose the best from a list of possibilities with opportunity costs, we have never been able to manipulate our choices. We were taught from young that we always have to make the right choices to succeed in life but were we ever told why should we not made the wrong choices? Growing up, we were all too keen to not make the wrong choices as we carefully anticipated only the right choices, this teaching instilled from young have caused many detriments to our life as our hands were held along in school by the educators to ensure we made the right choices but once we enters the society, there are no helping hands anymore and faced with many possibilities, we fumbled and became too scared to explore the different possibilities from our choices. Considered yourself being place in a situation where you made a wrong choice in the start and you are forced to make the best choices against the situation to achieve your goal, how will you do it if the choices present in front of you have are all right?
- The energy dynamics of your work and why do you think so?
High intensity. My work is a narration to depict myself rushing under time tension and the pressure where I have to make choices. It depict mostly chaotic scenes with shaky camera views as it portrays how our visions are as we have to concentrate on the surroundings while we run.
- The Who, What, Where, Why, When, and How of your work.
- Who is the intended audience for this interaction?
The intended audience are people from all ages who see my video
- What do you want them to do/experience?
I want them to have a flashback to the moments where they are late and let them understand how does the scene actually felt like from their first person perspective and also more importantly, how the choices they made may actually determine the final outcome of the event
- Where will the interaction take place?
The interaction will take place at any location with the video being shown and in this case, it will be in the classroom environment
- Why should people participate in this interaction? (Safety and Trust)
This is an exact depiction of how the audience will react when they have to rush due to being late, it does jeopardize safety and trust of the audiences as it does not require any physical interaction. It will be interesting and exciting to let them be in my shoes as they will realised how everything looks and feels like when they have to rush
- When will the interaction take place?
The interaction will take place when the scene starts on me jumping out of the bed as audiences can relate to the action when they were jolted by the rude awakening fact that they are late and they have to rush to the next location before it is too late
- How will participants interact?
They will interact when I have to make my choices under time pressure, here when they see me slow down trying to make my decision but with the time ticking, they will feel tense and want to choose the best decision for me as they sits in their chair
- What is the category of interactivity used in your work? Why?
Cognitive and Contextual interactivity. Based on my video description, it is me deciding to make the choice to snooze after waking up early but I overslept and the whole situation turns chaotic as I have to rush towards the classroom before it is too late while I have to make the best choices against the situations to arrive in class on time only to find out it is a public holiday.
Here I am engaging the audiences’ minds with the sense of sight and sound. The first person view portrays a vivid and surreal experience as compared to third person as they can feel that they are actually in my spot rushing.
Lastly, sound, with the use of high intensity music, it builds up the tension and tempo of the video which the audiences’ mind will feel the intensity which will bring their attention to find out what is the final outcome only to be met with a plot twist that I have rushes for nothing as it is holiday.
