Final Automaton

Automata

For my performance I was taped to a chair in the guys floor common area. Every person that walked in was asked to tag, draw, or write something on my body with a sharpie marker then asked to either photograph me or their work. Edurance was places within this peice due to the fact that leading up to the sixth hour I was feeling incredibly sick due to the vast amount of ink on my body. All-in-all it turned out well, people had fun with it and they were all open to a great amount of creativity to make any markings on me they wished.

6 hours performance

I am going to attempt to do my performance tonight after I get my work done. I will be sitting in the guys lounge or commons in my dorm and tie myself to a chair. Before that I will place a sharpie and my camera on a table in front of me. Whoever walks into the room can write whatever they wish on either my white shirt or me and I will ask them to take a picture of either their drawing or me with the drawing.

Group Performance

Our group performed the act called "Cheeze-Itz". Originally we wanted to be breaking pencils on stage instead of Cheeze-Itz, but we decided that using the crackers would get more of a reaction out of our audience. There can be many different interpretations of our performance, and our audience came up with a few different meanings. The meaning that I got out of our act was the intense sound that one little cracker can make when it is broken during complete silence. Colby and I turned this simple act of crumpling crackers onto the floor into a sort of fight, or competition. No words were used, we were only able to project our emotions through the Cheeze-Itz. Derek acted as a kind of mediator, desperately trying to pick up the pieces of our argument. During the act, both Colby and I ignored Derek. We were completely focused on what the other was doing with their cracker. I feel that overall, our performance was a very effective one, and it got quite a positive reaction out of the audience.

How to tell time

How to tell time
I tend to tell time by where I am. After foundations I always go to Powell, entertain myself for a bit then hang out and eat with friends. Generally everybody that’s in my next classes grab my attention and we rush to class hoping well be there before the teacher, that’s always an indication that were on time. After the teacher dismisses us I usually go to my room or the studio, depending if I have work or not. Then if my phone says I have work that day I’ll go work my shift at Lil’ Alf. Following that if I don’t still have homework to do I’ll find people to hang with. Then pass out until a loud buzzing sound wakes me up. Then I get up go to foundations and do it all over again.
