Communication through artifact creation

Communication Through Artifact Creation was an opportunity to design an installation of artifacts in a new and provocative way. Using the inherent properties of the objects contained within the context of the installation as the performative event, the audience was able to shape their own narrative around these objects. Usually, as a scenic designer, I am shaping a space that performers are allowed into but the audience is not. There is a predefined narrative text that is the key element informing the designed artifacts that I make as a representation of the sculpted theatrical space in which a performance will take place. For this exhibit the artifacts designed by me and eleven other artists informed the structure that would house them, and the performative journey was open to the interpretation of the audience’s imagination.
