Constraint n°058
The Imposed Discovery
An unknown artist. One week. A work in response.
The site gives you the name of an artist you don't know (from the OuViePo database). You have one week to... read their Wikipedia page, watch at least one work, and create something... anything... in response. The trace = your work + the link to the artist.
Instructions
- Click here and let the site propose a random artist from the OuViePo database... someone you don't know. Accept the assignment without cheating.
- Read their Wikipedia page. Watch at least three works... images, videos, interview excerpts.
- Over one week, let this artist permeate. Don't force yourself to produce right away. Notice what stays with you after three days.
- Create something... anything... in response to this artist. Not a copy, a conversation.
- Post your work on the site with the link to the artist and three sentences... what you didn't know, what surprised you, what you wanted to answer.
Variants
Do it with two people... the same imposed artist, two different responses. Compare.
Ask someone to choose the artist for you rather than letting the site decide.
Force yourself to use a medium you don't master for the response... if you draw, write; if you write, film.
