COMMUNICATION- workshops - Yuka Oyoma
Assignement- reflection on workshops- communication strategies- see link to final assignement here
Drawing inspiration from Workshop 2, led by Yuka Oyama, students are expected to critically analyze the impact of various contexts on how the public perceives art.
1. Strategies in Art Project Development -500 words
- Investigate and discuss the role of communication in the development of art projects.
- Analyze how effective communication strategies can contribute to the success of an art project, considering factors such as clarity of message, audience engagement, and collaboration with stakeholders.
- Draw comparisons between the insights gained from Workshop 2 and Workshop 1.
- Reflect on how the communication strategies discussed in Workshop 2 complement or differ from the contextual considerations emphasized in Workshop 1.
- Probe kit: how do you ‘seduce’ people, how to make people participate in your participatory art.
- HOW DO YOU FIND PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE? How do you not exploit? You create an accessible visual communication, something that looks like fun to do (this is her way of doing it, compare to Eliot?)
- Making a temporary connection through ‘making’. When working with public space, also have to read the time that suits people, the participants, it’s the role of the artist to read public space, who who want to work with depends on their time, when they feel like they are welcome to take part, etc…
- She object-interviewed people, then makes an object sculpture for the person and then they perform it, then she takes a scan of the sculpture and makes a little amulet as a gift to the participant. So she uses jewellry as a form of documentation to connect the past, present and future.
- Storytelling: the object-sculpture is raised down onto the person, they story of the object/behind the object is told, then it goes back up
- Objects carry stories (easier for people to talk about themselves through objects)
- Playfulness is a source of creativity
MY OWN PROBE KIT
- What kind of knowledge are you looking for and produce? I want to hear people’s stories of what they imagine their descendants would remember about them
- While making something can you imagine how you will be perceived in the future, what will your descendants write about you?
- Do it like a discussion while doing the activity ?
- Weaving? With paper? Weaving a story? Wood carving? Or painting on a piece of wood?
- ROLE PLAYING: put yourself in the shoes of your descendants. (as in, draw out a pair of shoes on paper that you stand on when you make your speech)
- OBS: use the words from the sentences (in this case ‘shoe’ from the expression is the object that people will make).
- MAKING THE PROPS FOR THE 90 YR OLD DESCENDANT’S BIRTHDAY
- Decorate the crown
- Decorate the glass
- Draw out the food on a cardboard plate
- Bring bunting
- Draw yourself in a portrait
