You will construct an extension for your body that enables you to do something you otherwise could not have done. Once you have constructed your body prosthetic you will perform some kind of action. This action can consist of anything from a mundane task to an absurd one. The goal here is to examine the limitations of your own physicality. For this project you will create a series of 5 documentations of your action in various media (mark making, photo, video).
Will your project be restrictive or will it expand your capabilities? Will others be able to use it? How will your materials affect the overall goals of the project?
Stage 1: Proposal, including 3 drawings 2 maquettes (different materials). You will have looked at 3 of the artists on the blogspot and responded in your sketchbook to their work (a paragraph for each): what do you find interesting about their work? How are they investigating the body? Do they restrict or expand movement capabilities? Does their work force a specific kind of movement? How do their materials affect the overall meaning/experience of the work?
Due Tuesday 11/29

Thursday 12/1
Stage 3: Finished product
