Final Project: Personalized Time
Record and Present 1 month of your life

Due Mon. Dec. 8, 2008


Requirements:

  • Save one item from each day of your life from Nov. 4 to Dec. 4. You can save ANYTHING as long as it is useable for your final project: audio files, movie files, photos, receipts, coffee cups, label, notes to self, etc. These items will be your raw material for your final project. So choose wisely...
    Act as if you are an anthropologist studying YOU. Collect evidence of your daily life, no matter how trivial it might seem.
  • The final project must be a time-based presentation of these pieces of your life: a sequence of imagery, a sequence of sounds, a sequence of gestures/movement or a combination of these 3. There should be one item for each day.
  • The submitted final project can be any of the forms you have used in this class: video/movie file, audio file, live presentation, book, etc.

The object of this exercise to communicate the passing of time in your life right now and to PERSONALIZE this. Pay attention to both the individual items AND their sum. What does the total amount of "data" tell you? Did you learn something about yourself and how you spend time that you didn't know?
How does the item change from day to day or week to week? Are there patterns?

 

Stay tuned. More info to come....
