Object game #1 Simple accumulation:
Save all of your waste and sort it (an entry to accumulation art)
1. Save
a. Designate a space. To me there is always a very practical consideration of space.
That's why I like the internet, but for physical things you will need a more physical space.
2. Sort:
a. Color, shape, material. Each item you collect will have different qualities. When working with repeat objects you have the power of modular design, puzzle piece the dissected pieces together to make an M.C. Escher composition.
3. Dissect
a. The best way to learn how to build something is to take it apart. Disassemble the objects in your collection to their small units. Sort and organize your smaller pieces further.
4. Conceptualize
a. Think about how the object is used in your life and generally. How did you come to collect it? Consider the ethical problems or challenges of the object’s -production and sale. What are you trying to say? Be critical and edit.
5. Play and repeat
a. Much like Legos now you get to play. Repeat the process of conceptualization and play until the work is refined.
Object game #2 Collecting:
Pick up something on the street and carry it with you until you return home. Add it to the collection and write down the story of how it got lost and how it got home?
