Process 1.12

Notes from crit:

  • People said they're gross
  • Reminds Katerie of some sort of alarm system
  • Shadow changes are interesting
    • Think about what shapes are made by shadows
      • manger
      • crucible
  • Alluring, gelatinous, symmetrical, perfect, pranky, edible
  • Why do they have to be wet? bad?
    • association with wet: ultrasound
    • not associations that are unintentional
    • ie: slap in the face? when go to touch them, but they're slimy - "punishment" for touching
  • Use biofreeze instead (mostly scentless icy hot)
    • Has interaction after - first cold, then hot, warming sensation
  • Thinking about how it gives off the idea of a trophy to some people
    • How people mount trophy kills (animals)
    • Hanging on the wall
    • expand? could make it more trophy like, if wanted to go that way, glimmery
    • if went this direction, mount on varnished, polished wood, with gold plaque
  • What if it felt warm and didn't expect it to?
    • use warm light (colors)
    • make temperature of breasts warmer
    • not currently intimate setting or situation or presentation of these breasts
  • What's hidden and what's not hidden?
  • Fetish
  • Salvador Dali and surrealists
    • how they deal with women's bodies 
  • Valley export piece
  • Could go an industrial direction - not personable, specimen, medical
    • metal, reflection of viewer revealed on front pane of shiny metal
  • Implants
  • What if displayed or introduced on horizontal plane (shelf)
  • Sensor becomes this sort of navel and creates a weird abstracted torso
    • Installation becomes body
  • Think about the idea of silicon
  • NO SLIME ASPECT
    • Already a taboo object, and slimey substance on breasts is like a double taboo and it's cold and uncanny, made people feel weird, uncomfortable, want to touch more without slime on them
  • Surveillance - surveil/record hands, not face, what people are doing, what would you pick up on
  • LED light
    • makes people think of hospital, clinical, parking lot lights
    • use warmer color lights - how would it be different?
    • think about adding or switching for red lights
  • How to turn them into comforting objects?
    • goes along with the warmth of temp and color
