Project 2 Social Change and its continuation
Originally our idea stemmed from a collection box which had various components which arduino controlled. The collection box was supposed to support a student run gallery on campus, since we had recently lost ours. However, when we began to work on some of the initial aspects of this work we quickly began to dislike it, since it referenced too much of a sophisticated collection box and not much more. As we brainstormed we began to question what a gallery is and the politics behind it. Our project changed from initially a collection box to an actual art exchange machine. We felt this was a much more developed idea that not only interacted with the audience but also questioned many of the proponents of a gallery and its elitist tendencies.
- exchange of artwork between people
does not discriminate in terms of what is art and what makes an artist
allows art to be displayed within places that are not often gallery designated, plays off the aspects of street art
allows everyone to enjoy the making of art
random exchange of ideas
