Your Time Piece
Week 7:
Second Iteration
Overview
This project invites you to design and document a procedure or technique for creating a work (of art or design) where time is a central aspect, phenomenon or concern.
You will be evaluated on the procedure, technique, or process that you devise and refine. Of course, you will need to make a series of attempts to inform decisions.
The medium of support for this project is intentionally open-ended. It allows you to lean into an interest or expertise that you may already have, or one that you are compelled to explore. The medium may take the form of a drawing, painting, sculpture, assemblage, film, musical composition, architectural design, landscape design, performance, intervention, instrument, device, or other form. Weekly readings and workshops may also inform this choice.The process you develop should enable us to observe and analyze how the work itself constructs or represents the concept of time. This process should be conceptually linked to a theory or methodologies in the curated readings, our discussions, or a related text of your choosing. There will be five critique sessions.
These critiques center on identifying and examining the underlying assumptions and modes of thought (examined and perhaps unexamined) that inform the development of the project. We will be less interested in whether things are “right” or “wrong,” “beautiful” or not.
- Week 03 - Proposal
- Week 05 - First Attempt
- Week 07 - Second Iteration
- Week 09 - Refined/Nuanced Iteration
- Week 10 - Final Review
Since the development of a process is the focus of the course, the Final Review will prioritize progress and change rather than perfect outcomes. However, the quality of outcomes are a window into your thoughtfulness, engagement, and standards of care.
Schedule
Week 07 – Second Iteration
Objective: Refine your procedure based on feedback and create a more developed iteration of your Time Piece.What to Submit:
- Updated work that incorporates feedback and shows progression from the first attempt.
- Detailed documentation of your updated process, including new insights or adjustments.
- A comparative reflection (700-900 words):
- How has your procedure evolved?
- What new discoveries have emerged about time in your work?
- How has feedback from the first critique influenced this iteration?
Critique Focus:
- Evidence of progress and responsiveness to feedback.
- Depth and rigor of conceptual exploration.
- Effectiveness of the procedure in engaging with time as a theme.
Evaluation Criteria:
- Clear evolution and refinement of the process.
- Integration of critique and reflection into your work.
- Continued experimentation and conceptual depth.
