I’m not exactly sure how to apply these concepts to my
project. These ideas all seem to be very ‘fine art’ in nature. Fred Wilson
talks about organizing objects in a way that ‘feels natural’ to him. Which is
nice, and lovely, and something I have done before, but not necessarily what I
want to do with my zine I don’t think. I want to be fairly scientific about it.
I would like this project to be more informational, based on research, which
funny pictures and captions to keep people interested. I’m not so much into
things going together metaphorically, or creating a fine art piece.
The Museum of Jurassic Technology is very interesting to me,
and I have been wanting to go there ever since I first heard of it. I love the
idea of not knowing what is true and what is not. The ambiguity of it is
incredible. It speaks to our understanding of the world. Science tries to hard
to unravel the secrets of life, but science is often proved wrong later. It is
at it’s best, a very good attempt, an attempt always being corrected. I see the
Museum of Jurassic Technology as a massive art installation. It makes a
beautiful and magical statement about the world, but is not to be considered a
scientific institution. Therefore it falls under the same category as far as my
project goes. I want mine to be based off fact as much as possible.
I very much enjoyed “White” by Joseph Grigly. Especially the
inclusion of tampons in the “White destined not to be white” category. Hilarious.
This is the kind of humor in a straight-forward setting I would like to bring
to my zine.
