Rules:
1. Think about a human emotion.
2. Choose a human emotion that you feel comfortable expressing and select a color clay that you feel correlates with this emotion.
3. Now using the clay that you have selected, your hands, and the molding utensil provided sculpt a 3D representation of your chosen human emotion.
4. Your sculpture should be placed at the end of the painted white line that the participant prior to you has created upon the black foam.
*If you are the first person to sculpt an emotion place your sculpture at the center most point of the black foam canvas taking into consideration all four sides of the canvas.
5. Your emotion sculpture should not touch or interrupt any other structure that has been created on the canvas; however, your sculpture may play off of a previous form.
6. After you have completed your representation of a human emotion, use the provided white paint and brush to create a path that begins from the base of your creation to an open black space on the canvas.
7. Your painted white line should be clean, continuous, and a single brush thickness.
8. The end of this line shall be the starting point for the next participant.
Reaction:
In this exercise I wanted to create an algorithm that gave the participant many options, by giving them an open subject matter. This allowed for a sense of individuality among each piece. The clay was selected as the primary material for this project, because I wanted to provide the participant with a medium that was interactive. What the algorithm set out to display was a landscape of many different structures that used clay as a common material. The unique structures were then connected with the white paint to emphasize a sense of circulation throughout the provided space. Everyone of the participants were successful in following the algorithm; however, due to the brief period of time allotted during each rotation, there was very little detail in the final quality of each form.
