Degree Show Documentation (Part 2 of 3)

And here's part two...

"Chit Chat Tummy" by Blake Peterson & Zoe Phillips as installed at the Glue Factory, for the Glasgow School of Art MFA Degree Show.

The structure (approx. 6ft wide x 4 ft tall) is coated with day-glow, glow-in-the-dark, and 'night glow' acrylic paint, in addition to: latex body paint, krink, watercolor pigment, metallic ink, screen-printing ink, and various battery-powered LED lights. Additional materials were used in the construction of the base.

The video was placed within the structure, rather than being placed on a plinth, in an attempt to actively engage the viewer. One has to slightly bend at the waist in order to view the monitor, leading viewers to become subconsciously aware of their own stomach.

Zoe and Blake have also been collaborating on a series of short videos, mostly stop-motion animation...

This is a short preview of one of their videos. The audio was simplified a bit for the purposes of the youtube video; when in a gallery / open space - each noise will be broadcast from separate speaker systems, creating a (rather disturbing) surround-sound experience*. Also, of course - as it's youtube, the resolution of the video was lowered.

This will be a part of a much larger, longer video work...

* Basically having the smacking / digestive sounds coming from either side of the viewer as they enter the space, with the two voices in the center.

DESIGN FOR MANKIND!!!

Those of you who check out other blogs, might have noticed something familiar...

Especially if they looked at Design for Mankind's post for "Today's Outfit"

Yes, that's right - she's wearing one of our scarves! Specifically, the "Manimals Scarf"

Design for Mankind is one of Zoe's favorite blogs, by the way.

New drawings and a new friend

The top two drawings are new things by Zoe. The little monster at the bottom is a Blake and Zoe's new toy, which has a slot on the inside of his mouth perfect for holding zoe's ring.
