By-product of a thousand lives

By-Product of a Thousand Lives a process-based research project: conceptual planning of an installation By-product of a thousand lives is the planning process of a participatory installation titled A thousand lives. Its output is not the actual installation but the preparatory works such as notes, diagrams, photos, models, video & audio recording. Background By-product of a thousand lives not only highlights the creative and intellectual process of making and developing art & ideas but also the complexity of art and in a wider sense all we do in life. It is a commentary on how we blindly accept information as absolute and readily consume what is presented to us. It is work about work, blurring the boundary between the finished product and its production. In essence the work shows the difficulty of retrieving truly essential information in order to make decisions. Presentation/exhibition I would like to present a careful selection or even the entirety of the preparatory works. Depending on the nature of the available space, the work can either be presented on walls, desks or projections. The work should be displayed in such a way as to invite the visitors to closely examine the work rather than cursorily walk through it.
