Final Project: The Archival Vessel

DUE NEXT WEEK:

Your final project will function as an archive/collection of all

of your experiments in this class + the theories we've explored.


Research and present 3 examples of archives or collections

that you could use as a model for your final project.


For ALL THREE examples you must present your analysis:

a. the different types of content found in the archive

b. the structure of the archive and how it is navigated

c. the purpose of the archive

d. the audience for the archive, how they are located

and how they are effected by the archive


Choose one of your examples and use it to

make a sketch of the structure of your final project

(storyboard, maquette, wireframes)

Your final project must exist as a video, book or

website and operate as a narrative


>>>>Your presentation is a slideshow that includes your analysis of the three archives

>>>>with supporting visuals, your sketch for your final project, and your Project Statement.


**Please consider what an archive is and how it is meant to operate.

Find archives that interest you - can a junk drawer or car trunk be an archive?

How can collections operate as records or archives?

What is the difference between a living archive and a dead one?

Enlighten the class with your findings in a formal presentation next week.


------------------------------------

TODAY IN CLASS:

You must answer the following questions and

turn in before the end of class in order to receive credit:


1. How can people learn from the ideas of your artist and

how you have chosen to express them in your collection of projects?

2. What is the thread or threads running through your work conceptually -

what do the different pieces you produced have in common aesthetically?

This is your Project Statement. Include your it in your presentation.
