New Briefs - Multiple Choice

On Monday we received 3 new briefs to choose between and I was able to narrow it down to 2 but I just can't make any decisions!

Our 3 briefs were -

1. Punctuation Mark - You need to create a new punctuation mark so you must interpret what a punctuation mark is and its purpose. It should express a thought or ideology that is unique to the modern world, which needs to be clearly expressed in: written/ visual/ sound/ sculpture/ performance/ animation/ textiles/ mixed media form. 

Initial thoughts... Nope-ity nope nope! How do you create a new punctuation mark?! Every time I tried I ended up thinking of ones that already existed. There was a few ideas tossed about the class about recreating an existing one, using it to create a new meaning for the existing one. 

     2.  The Internal Ephemeral - "The final body of work should showcase your thoughts, feelings, emotions, humour, and opinions in a consistent way that documents a period of no less that 14 days - 1 per day." - I thought originally to create leaflets that showed my thoughts every day for a few weeks at a set time. I could have placed a basket (bin) next to it to emphasise how it is just meant to be thrown away. 

    3. Newspeak - "Language is an important tool for expanding use of expression and thought. You are asked to create a body of work in response to this concept. Consider innovative design based applications as well as the literary context of the concept being put forth for consideration."

To do this I had to read 1984 and I believe if I could think of something to make that would do it justice it could be a powerful piece but its the decisions that are too difficult for me. 

Newspeak or Internal Ephemeral?!

Hopefully after a full read of 1984 I will decide whether it is my best choice and work out what I can make. 

I don't even know what kind of piece to make as in a drawing, a painting, a sculpture, something designy or at least on the computer, maybe typography... :S I DON'T KNOW!! Because I can't pick a brief I can't pick a concept and if I can't pick a concept I can't decide what method would be most effective! 

Tune in next week for what in god's name will she pick!
