The final outcome will be presented in Magdeburg, Germany, in February 2011. The project title is Expo / Exhibit / Exhibitionist and has to be based on one of the following topics:
Domestechtopia
Occupation
Fabrication
Interiors + Product + Interaction
We have been given one of the gallery spaces at the DCA (Dundee Contemporary Arts) for this project, a space which consists of two large rooms, joined by a sliding partition, with two very small rooms off one of them.
Me and Emilie have chosen the theme of Domestechtopia, and so far have been researching into the meaning of the term, through looking at the three words which make it up - domestic, technology, utopia. We have been looking at how domestic life and utopian ideal has changed through the development of technology, from where the centre of the family home was a few hundreds of years ago, and how this has changed into the centre of the home now. The relationship between families has changed dramatically because of technology and changing times, which is interesting to look at and is conjuring up a few ideas for us.
I will keep updating with how our project is developing over the next couple of months.
