Art idea
So for he last couple of months I have been writing all my ideas on the walls of my room. This keeps them fresh in my mind since I see them everyday and ensure that I don't just forget about them in some notebook. Although it does kind of look like the room of some crazy person who is all writing things down that make sense to them. Anyways one of my more recent ideas has to do with what makes up a picture. That a picture isn't created just using a camera but is found within the framing of a scene. So the way I propose to show this is to create a box hallowed out within another box. So if you can imagine six cubes connected together making a seventh hallow cube in the center. All the cubes would have the inside wall removed so that you can look through one cube into another. Finally the two holes in each cube would be of different sizes. The hole facing the center were all the cubes meet would be smaller then the hole facing away from the rest of the cubes. Finally it would all be suspended so that a viewer will be able to look inside from any direction, including below, and see through the center and out the other side. By making is this way the viewer can adjust what he sees through the box and the framing of it. In doing this the emphasis is no longer about capturing an image but more about what is inside the frame. The viewer is able to move the box so he can frame whatever he sees fit. The other advantage of this is that after the first viewer leaves and another comes the second viewer will be able to see what the first viewer framed. So like a camera a multiple people will be able to view an image until it is changed again.
