Wow. Apologies, that was waaay longer than I realized.
a Summary: I'm interested in Perceptions and Perceptive reality, and how it relates to Power relationships.
Ideas of majority governing normalcy/sanity, the way people interact with the unknown by prescribing their beliefs to it, etc.
The project plan (for now) is a story of some kind, with art and other creative little tidbits to go along with it.
--Idea 1 (the one I'm rootin' for): Man vs. Nature vs. Machine - a story of singing solar gardens and a terrified subterraneous populace that tries to short-sightedly destroy what it has created.
--Idea 2 (One that's already done): Slow Life - West Virginia in 1923. An unknown illness forged and fed by the panick of the townsfolk, that upends society and reveals the frightened beasts within us.
--Idea 3 (That I'd rather not do): Imagine That - exploring imagination, religion, perceptive reality, and the power struggles produced through and by and for beliefs.

ReplyDeleteLike you, I'm definitely most interested in Idea 1. It seems exploratory and compelling in the sense that it explores the power structures between humans and nature. I think there is a lot of potential for digging up ancient connections -- we are part of what we are attacking, after all. If you're interested, I think it would be interesting if you could incorporate the kind of distance that humans seem to have achieved from our natural habitats, and how that distance has allowed us to wreak havoc on ecosystems and the species of plants and animals that inhabit them. Is it human nature to destroy and demean that which cannot fight back (I hope not)?
BUT - I don't think you should dismiss Idea 3, because I think it's integral to whatever you decide to produce and could easily be incorporated into Idea 1. Especially if you have a group of people trapped underground by fear. What do you think?
Hope you are feeling much better after the weekend --
