Project Two SITE:SIGHT

Project Two SITE:SIGHT

See this link to an interesting article on intervention - should seem familiar!

http://www.newpaltz.edu/artsnews/news.cfm?id=3422

Your intervention is DONE and you have documentation. The next step is to spin the raw material gathered from your intervention into a graphic design piece - what format is best to communicate the experience of your intervention to someone who's removed from the piece? In the intervention, a wide audience was able to interact with your piece. But the piece was ephemeral. Translate that ephemeral installation into a piece of ephemera/graphic design that will endure, out-lasting your installation, and can be shared with someone a year later, miles removed from this project. How is it best articulated when a viewer cannot be present at the site of the intervention?

This piece of ephemera is also a "map" of your intervention.

Graphically, you must include the following in your map/ephemera:

1. Location (where within downtown Athens did this intervention occur?)
2. Process + Result = Experience
3. Title
4. Statement of Intent

It is important to note that there must be a 3-Dimensional component to this piece of ephemera.
