My (Kate's) Robot Last day

These are the photos from the final day of my robot. It has been in the Crown Library since November 16th and has been moved multiple times. I purposefully put the robot in a place that was in the way so people would notice it. It therefore has travelled all around the library, pushed out of the way for study groups etc. Most of what is written on it as I have said in previous posts is very angry and bitter towards the idea.

The following I thought was very interesting, because it was basically what we were trying to see, what is society's thoughts on this robot and the statements that are imposed upon this blank structure is entirely up to the writer, who in turn is part of society.Kind of continuing with the idea of I am what I am, part of society and we make of it what we wish...

This is one of my favorite along with the one saying "I am a pile of boxes". Taking the concept very literally, as scientists and engineers often do. 
The strings that were attached to the pens ended up VERY tangled and one of the robots boobs was punched in, but overall the robot was undamaged.
Really random violent thoughts...

This was the back of the robots head so it was two faced. I found it interesting that the front and back had a face but the sides did not.

To finish off with I kind of lonely ending...

Leigh's Robot

So here's what the process of my robot for the Environmental Design has looked like thus far. I put it in the Elena Baskin Visual Arts Center, and chose to attach a single black Sharpie pen to the robot to see if people would limit their choice of expression to the materials provided.


Here's what the robot looked like when I first put it up on November 13:





When I went back to check on it on 11/17, here's what I found:

This was on the top of the robot's head:

The side of the head:

Someone put a cigarette in its mouth and gave eyelashes...

This is one of my favorites...

This one is my favorite by far, because it somewhat proved my theory. Someone used a media that was not already provided, and was thus not limited to what was available to them. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that they're most likely an art student?

The World IS a Stage

So you know you've been doing too much theater when the outside world is all theatrical effects. As I'm taking TA10, TA157, TA99 and TA50 this quarter, I'm had my world overloaded with theater. I drive down the street, seeing the shadows of the trees on the street and I think about what an awesome gobo it would be. I drive by a particularly beautifully manicured hill and I think about how it would be a perfect backdrop for some obscure play.

Yesterday, my car started leaking coolant and I had to go to an autoshop . . .while I was there, I saw all these broken car parts and thought " oh shoot why didn't this happen before my show closed?!!? We NEEDED broken car parts"

In short, I'd like an answer: how much theater is too much theater?

Just kidding!!! Figured it out!

There's the transition by transition drawings of "The Midas Touch"

My (Kate's) Robot

These are photos of my robot which is in the Crown library. I've realized that people aren't very nice here, nor very creative.

Our Stage Design

So here's our stage design, isn't it awesome?

"THE MIDAS TOUCH"

Here we have a dead and boring forest...

But here comes King Midas!

...and he has touched the trees and turned them to gold.

Enthralled by his new power, he runs through the forest, transforming everything.

But when almost everything is turned to gold, Midas is sad. Even though it's beautiful, it can never be as real as the actual forest. Even though it was dead, it was real--it followed a real life cycle, and was beautiful even in its decrepit nature.

Disheartened, Midas leaves the forest.
