Quote: "Nomad is a digital reweave of patterns that have been around for thousands of years that we may know nothing about, but perhaps in a video game we might have, again, the desire to respect what they might have been." Comment: While there are customs and traditions around the world that have been lost to time, preserving them in a modern form so they are still known about in the future can prolong their life in a way that can integrate them into modern life. Question: Ideally, video simulations could be good ways to preserve knowledge, and with the popularity of video games they could become more well known again. However, considering the consumerist aspect of video games, could projects like this one exist as a means of preserving old knowledge?

Viral Interventions: Final Proposal

[mel2d3d]

Viral Interventions: Proposal 3

Based on the original sentence, this proposal idea takes the concept of "music hiding something disturbing." A box would be made that uses a lock that will only open to a certain tune, in this case the last 4 notes of Ring Around the Rosie. When it opens, inside the box will be a "posie" made out of paper and the rest of the song will play. To present this to the public it will be put in a place that is accessible to the public and easily found, similar to geocaching puzzles and containers. The point is to make the people who interact with the box, uncomfortable when they hear the song and see the flower based on the context of the meaning of the song.

Viral Interventions: Proposal 2

For this idea, we thought of portraying the message through the use of materials and creating a brutal exhibition. As the base of the project we would use a wood board and place images attaching them with nails. We would place cables around the images like a crime evidence board. The cable will eventually lead to the headphones which will be playing an audio in this case the song, “Love the Way you Lie” or another type of audio.

Viral Interventions: Proposal 1

For this idea we thought of pasting CDs on a big piece of cardboard/styrofoam. On one side some of them are going to be painted with colorful acrylics, then some of them are going to be broken into pieces and spread to the opposite side. In between the broken pieces, we are going to include black and white images that communicate toxic behaviors or sadness. In addition, if we decide to work with the song we used for the video, Loce The Way You Lie, we could add phrases of the lyrics. During the exhibition, we could also play the song in the background. We would present this idea to the public in Wynwood during the day.

"The music seemed welcoming at first, but the disturbing lyrics revealed a story of abuse."

Quote: "He first bought Crème Brûlée, a Martha Stewart color, because he liked the sound. But after trying it in his kitchen, he was not happy, and he painted over the room." Comment: This quote sums up the whole point of the article. Color names for paint are marketing tools that help sell more paint because, ultimately, the consumer will like it in some regard, but if they buy a color because they like the name they might end up disappointed with what they got, leading them to buy more paint. In the case of the man in the article, he ended up buying 4 paint colors before he was satisfied." Question: The name of a color shouldn't have an impact on its practicality, yet it still has impact over our final decision. The question I want to ask is why is the name of a color important when it comes to application, and why is the name of a color seemingly such an important factor when deciding to use it?
