Face value & the feed
Prompt: For this project, students will create a short, intentional experience that physically, sensorially, or interactively immerses the viewer in their thesis. The goal is to synthesize the concepts and techniques explored during previous Bridges, such as projection, material experimentation, participation, and spatial design, into a cohesive, activated, and experiential work. This project emphasizes immersion, interaction, and discovery, where the viewer engages with the artwork beyond simply looking.
A large-scale interactive sculpture in the form of a pink piggy bank. One half of the pig’s body is carved into seven domestic rooms following a pork butcher’s map—living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, dining room, office, laundry room—each inhabited by miniature clay furniture, the artist, and lights that turn off and on. The other half houses a photo booth: a camera reads the visitor’s facial expression in real time and on capture prints a thermal receipt documenting their expression and the time of their visit.
