had an exciting idea for an art quilt about housing and zoning. now I'm working through the philosophical elements. #artquilt #textileart #mastoart
@t54r4n1 that's the plan! It's going to be interactive. But are the people PART of the houses, or are they separate? And are the houses PART of the neighborhood?
@hfrazey oh my gosh an INTERACTIVE QUILT. holy shit yes
@t54r4n1 yeah that is going to be my "thing" LOL....all my work is going to have pieces you can move around or interact with or shit like that. So for this one, you can add more houses to the neighborhood. But should you also be able to add people to the houses? Or are the people part of the houses? (Does this make sense...)
@t54r4n1 it doesn't feel right to leave the people out entirely, but it also doesn't feel right to have the people permanently part of the houses (since more ppl could live in each house if it we changed zoning/rules/etc)
@hfrazey could it be multi-level interactive, where you move people into houses and houses into neighborhoods, or is that too complex.
@t54r4n1 no I think that's how it will need to be too....I might need to go through a couple of versions to get it right but philosophically that's the right thing, isn't it
@hfrazey fucking fantastic. it'll have to be videoed in full interactive glory for posterity.
@t54r4n1 oooh good idea
@t54r4n1 ok so I am thinking the houses open like books. First I was thinking pockets inside the houses for the people but I don't want anybody to cram a whole bunch of ppl in one house. BUT if I do velcro spots inside the houses that will prevent this. And maybe group the ppl into families?
@t54r4n1 Yes, families and singles of lots of different types. Working title is "Who Is Welcome Here?"
Thanks for letting me talk through my art project with you while you are gallivanting about on holiday!
@hfrazey upzone your quilt!!!
