Final Critique was a culmination of all of our work from the past semester. I decided to even bring along a slightly unsuccessful but still intriguing (and hours of hilarity in studio) project too. For part of my Moments of Interface project I was interested in the reflection of one's self and was looking for how I may distort that in unsuspecting ways. I came up with the Face Mash Up.
I mounted images of some of my classmates faces, with specific parts cut out, onto mirrors. The plan was for the individual to encounter the mirror and line themselves up in order to see their own eyes, or nose, or mouth on the classmates face. The whole perspective thing through the project off, but the the cut up images stayed on my desk for the rest of the semester. Each day as I walked in their would be a new creation/mutant waiting to be discovered. We eventually came up with the ultimate mutant, Brooktonia, who was subsequently credited with any shenanigans from then on out. For final critique I managed to get photos from everyone of our classmates and set up a table just outside the crit room so that the fun could continue during breaks. Check out my NCSU Mutants flickr set to see some of the creations we came up with.
