Paper & Motors

Concept: Use vibrator motor to bring a destructive quote about art to life.
Irony: Created an art piece that is human constructed and threw the strings that holds it together its attempting to refrain from deconstruction. The motors interact with the paper by attempting to deconstruct it and rip it apart.
Note: This piece is supposed to be considered a prototype for a bigger art piece that could be seen in a gallery. I really wanted to focus on the concept and bring the quote to life threw the materials that I used. With a larger environment to present and more of a knowledge of the tools that are available to me, I believe that this could be taken to a much bigger scale and threw that could have a much bigger audience reaction. Perhaps the next step would be instead of the interaction be between the paper and motor, but threw the audience powering the motors attempting to deconstruct it.
Tissue Paper: Red + Orange - used to write out the quote
Plain white note paper: Because it is where one writes ideas
Cardboard: Hold up piece/motors
Two Vibrator Motors
String: To hold the cut quote together. To amplify what the quote is saying.
Batteries: To power the art piece
The purpose of my experiment is to see what the participants will draw according to the colours each one have chose (even when all the participants have agreed on one emotion "in this case the emotion is love"). Moreover, I wanted to see if the participants will start working individually, since each as a colour or if they will start working as a team, because they have the same emotion and they are working on the same piece.
Instructions:
1) tear pieces of papers from a drawing pad
2) Stick the papers on the floor beside each other randomly
3) 6 participants stand in front of the papers
4) Each participant picks up a brush
5) Each participant choose one colour to draw with
6) The participants have to choose an emotion
7) Participants begin to draw according to the emotion they chose
8) After 1 minute, participants stop drawing
9) Document the process of the experiment
1) Divide into two separate groups
2) Form a circle facing each other
3) Extend right foot into circle
4) Extend right foot away from circle
5) Extend right foot into circle
6) Shake right foot
7) Turn around 360degrees
8) Extend left foot into circle
9) Extend left foot away from circle
10)Extend left foot into circle
11)Shake left foot
12)Turn around 360degrees
13)Extend right hand into circle
14)Extend right hand away from circle
15)Extend right hand into circle
16)Shake right hand
17)Turn around 360degrees
18)Extend left hand into circle
19)Extend left hand away from circle
20)Extend left hand into circle
21)Shake left hand
22)Turn around 360degrees
