project 2

"electric circuitry is recreating in us the multi-dimensional space orientation of the primitive."
--McLuhan


For this project, I did not put much effort in shooting the footage: I thought that an experimental video should be experimenting some sort of element of the traditional method, which is a really thought-through preparation. So I kind of had this feeling in my gut and carried my camera and went out my room to shoot. 

I picked Kohler Hall as the ultimate location of shooting. Kohler Hall is such an interesting building-each floor is identical to others. Floors 2-7 are gendered separately floor by floor, but the floors are so identical that sometimes I may push the wrong button and the smell of dudes suddenly makes me realize I am at the wrong floor. Kohler has two stairwells. The entrances and exits always confuse me and make me go mad. 

I was mad so I bought some red home, red did not soothe me, I thought red soothes people. I got disappointed and I got mad. It became even more red.

Red is mad. I am mad because of the muti-dimensional spacial confusion of Kohler.
