Related studies project week #6: Make it move. 

Rule: Don’t stop.

I had originally made a short video which I thought was too much of a literal interpretation of the assignment. Instead, I moved on from the short film to making a sculpture. I chose to create something that would encourage the viewer to participate in performing something repetitive. This useless spinning wheel was my answer to this problem set.

The 5 elements I considered in making this project:

  1. to have instructions to follow
  2. to challenge the perception of the familiar
  3. to create an object whose image would suffice to understand its meaning
  4. to allude to perpetuity
  5. to evoke the absurdity, like Magritte did
