DISPERSE
Disperse is an interactive project whose purpose can only be fulfilled with the assistance of the public. Participants are invited to take one or two objects from the display. Printed on each object is an environmental fact pertaining to the object’s shape. After choosing an object to take, the participant must then decide where its fact is most relevant. In doing so, he/she becomes mindful of the environmental problems prevalent in today’s society. Not only does the participant gain awareness and knowledge, but so do the people who see the object after it has been positioned in a new location.
I request of the participant to visually document and share the new location on my website, which is stamped into the back of each piece. Listed on the website are the references from which the facts were found and where the participants can find more information. By giving the public the power to decide where the objects will go allows direct, engaging interaction that may foster a desire to aid in changing the statistic on the piece they have chosen. Furthermore, the public has the ability to disperse the project much wider and to more cities and countries than I could ever manage alone. The objects are compact and can easily fit inside a pocket to allow them to be taken great distances and reach more people with their crucial message.
TO DOCUMENT THE LOCATION IN WHICH YOU PLACED AN OBJECT,
PLEASE EMAIL A PHOTO/DESCRIPTION TO: ASHLEYRYBA@GMAIL.COM
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION!
