I am wondering what to do for my final piece. I was considering ways in which to exhibit, and thinking of how to repesent. I thought about exhibiting the cards, next to their result.. Lie the cards cast giraffe next to the cast of the giraffe. Thought I don’t really like this idea. I think it’s a bit boring. It might look nice though, and probably would look pro maybe, but I think its too bpring. Also it would seem strange to now at the end of a project based on chance, to have such a rational way of presenting, it doesn’t really fit.

 

I also thought about creating a game for the audience, as a performance piece, I could provide the audience with the cards, they could pick them and then do the actions. Though I think this is more about the interaction, and the ideas about fluxus than about randomness. Would the ideas of randomness come across?

 

Also I’ve made the other things down to chance, so I would like to stick with this idea for the final presentation/exhibition. Maybe I could create more cards to tell me what to do for the exhibition and final performance/piece?

 

Another thing that concerns me is that it isn’t going to be clear or seen what my point is… Though because it is about randomness and not making sense, then if people don’t get it, can’t see the connection, etc then that would be the point, and it would be a successful thing. I have been considering using the cards again for the final presentation, and following what they say, keeping with the ideas of chance dictating the work, and have realized that a lot of it is to do with belief. If the cards say to hang the print of the axe, then people will just see a hung print of an axe, without any knowledge of the process before, but me knowing and committing to the idea and having the confidence to do something like that even thugh people may not get it is important.
