Project Ideas

- Anti-Social Howtos
     a video series that would be a how to series on how to perform certain anti-social, destructive activities, such as "how to start a riot" or  "how to break a window" Would be done in a campy style like other how to videos around the internet

- Walking Soundtrack/soundwalk
     Selecting a set path and composing a soundtrack that would take into account surrounds and environment. Was considering tying the soundtrack to foucaultian biopower.

- Protest Robot
    The development of a robot that would be deployed in protest situations, would include such things as radio broadcasting, livestreaming, etc.

- Twitter Rupture Tracker
     Using twitter's api, i would track social uprisings and translate events into a piece that would react in a gallery setting,

- Meditation Room with alterative motives
Utilizing binaural sound, calming images and subliminal messaging, i would experiment with video that would give split second images to offer a sort of untrusting view of current society.

- Performance sound Art, soundtracking
I would select footage and write a soundtrack that would be expected to be performed, utilizing. Possibly combined with projections onto buildings of power.

- Self Surveillance
    Utilizing GPS and webcams, i would track myself over a certain period recording all of my movements and actions and offer this information free for anyone to see. Peeling away any semblance of privacy in our world. Could also include keystroke capturing and webtracking.

Other ideas that would influence other works or the works above:
Social Rupture and reactions to
What aesthetic choices inspire or detract from revolutionary situation.
Sound as a suggestive medium
Nihilist, Anarchist and Post Structuralist philosophies
Technology as a double edged sword, as both something that can be used against us and that can assist us when used correctly
