Final Wiki Post

That makes me sad…...

I truly enjoyed every single experiment and creative work that was introduced through this course. Even the works I didn’t completely understand and felt indifferent for, I enjoyed the physical element of browsing through them mindlessly (if that makes any sense): clicking, browsing, clicking, browsing, and feeling confused. I wanted to create a final project that encompassed Post-Lit as a whole; I did so by compiling different bits and pieces that reflected on several things we learned or discussed in class. The form included social media platforms, Google Search, physical and social factors, and a tangible book. It is an overproduction of “art”, but it is intricately pieced together and (in my opinion) has underlying meaning, relatable content, and depth. Grabbing a cup of coffee (once/twice every day up until the project is due) at a local cafe and eavesdropping on conversations while documenting every detail onto Facebook. Then I am uploading a 1 minute video of “silence” to demonstrate that “there is no such thing as silence”. A link in the comment takes us to the Twitter page where the Chapter of that post is posted, along with a troll GIF that relates to the Chapter title. A link in the comment takes us to the Instagram page where the location, time, and name of drink is accounted for. Finally, the final project is tangible book that includes all of these screenshots along with a new narrative, which has been compiled through Google Search. It sounds extremely complicated, but I can definitely envision the final product – so hopefully anyone who comes across it will make sense of it. It is a project with many layers, but the end product stemmed from the initial eavesdropping that took place during the first cup of coffee. I really hope it all makes sense after I’m done with it, because I’m really excited to work on this.
