So far in our last unit, we have covered VDMX and Madmapper to start our final project. For my final, I wanted to gather materials you would find in a kitchen such as a microwave, plates, bowls, cups, and a chair. I've been finding a ton of old weight-loss videos as well as cartoons covering the subject of weight gain. I've been an athlete with a great relationship with food for most of my life. People tend to subconsciously insert the ideal beauty standards into your business without anything warranting it. This has put me in many difficult situations especially when I chose to defend my peace and explain that I do not want to hear about counting calories or bragging about eating nothing all day. So for my project, I wanted to touch upon the influence and severity of eating disorders. I plan on projecting one video of a tic tac commercial in the 80s on the microwave. As the microwave is cooking a bowl of mac and cheese. I also want to project food in the bowls and plates rotting in a loop. For my performance piece, I wanted to have my friend sit in a chair waiting for the mac and cheese to finish. I plan on buying instant mac and cheese to make during the performance for her to eat at the end. Overall I’m very excited about the project and I hope to find the materials I need. I plan on shopping at a lot of thrift stores.
