MIDTERM PRESENTATION

hello all,

this is what's due next week for your midterm presentation: I look forward to your beautiful work.

_ MODEL: your model, with scale references (as in , small people). I expect craftsmanship and attention to detail. Space needs to be situated in context if site-specific (for instance: outdoors)

_ DOCUMENTATION / IMMERSIVE PHOTOGRAPHY (AND VIDEO WHERE APPLICABLE, FOR INSTANCE IN SITE-SPECIFIC DOCUMENTATION OF REAL-TIME SITUATIONS)
documentation of your model that places the viewer 'in the space itself,' —that is, gives me the feeling of being iN the space itself.— Document every angle of the experience, every situation i might encounter moving through the space, how i see the artwork within it, how materials are reflected through the lens and how they contribute to the story etc. Play with the camera and light to unveil space: eg, top view, side view, immersive views, close ups, medium shots, high angle shots, low angle shots etc. I need to see every angle discovered, every aspect of your narrative disclosed. Lighting is a crucial component of this process as it reflects the mood and scale of the space. In the case of site-specific interventions, bring in video & photo documentation.

_ ARTWORK: all your artwork completed and ready for presentation.
if your space IS the artwork (installation) itself then show me every step of the narrative in sequence: eg, what it looks like from afar, what it looks like when i enter it, what do i see when i enter it, what i see when i move through it, how the space transforms etc, I need to feel that i walked through it and saw everything.
- if your space contains artwork, then place the artwork to scale within the model, for example, if you are doing video, place some screenshots of it exactly where they would go (to scale), same with sculptures or any other media you are using.
- bring in each artwork component as individual units; we will review these separately in actual format: for example: if you worked on video: bring the actual video, we will screen it. if you worked with sound, bring the sound piece, we will play it etc. again, a reference of these
—to scale—must be present in the model itself.

based on the above documentation (video / photography) bring in at least 15 shots that illustrate your narrative, in sequence. we will use a projector for each presentation and screen these on class while you present. Images must be well executed and be a clear articulation of your project. They should bring the space to life and speak for themselves.

to recap:
- your model (with figures and artwork to scale)
- your photographic documentation of the space itself (i want to feel what its like to be there and what i would see and in what order)—these are the 15 images mentioned above
- artwork: in actual format and media (videos, sound pieces, sculptures etc)

PRESENTATION, here's what i expect:
- a clear presentation of your idea: what you set out to do, your concept, and how you articulated it in media, form and space
- materials that illustrate and support your idea and its execution (mentioned above).
- what decision making process led you to achieve and execute your work in this manner. why that is relevant.
- class discussion and critique.
- I estimate 20-25 minutes per project.

thank you,
carolina
