Morbid Daily

For my self directed project I thought up phone app called Morbid Daily. Since the beginning of human history there have been atrocities  . Morbid Daily is focused in reminding society of these horrible events in order that they do not repeat. The app would work similarly to the word of the day but rather than a word there would be specific events that happened that day in history. The application would be released with a a few hundred events spanning from the 1800's. The app would work similarly to Wikipedia, members would be able to add and edit events that would be edited by devoted historians. The app would also serve for a place were victims or decedents could connect and share stories of said events.The primary use of this app out to remind people of the mistakes of peoples so that history does not repeat itself.

Imitations of Life

October 95

            This part of the film speaks about jack. Being strictly used to sound in the womb suddenly Jack in flooded with visual stimuli. Every sensation is new to jack. Things that amaze jack would be petti to us. But yet jack is intrigued by the stuffed animal. To him there is no reason it shouldn’t be alive. It has all the elements in order to live but yet it doesn’t. To jack it is a testament that there must be something far more complex too life than having the correct amount of limbs to replicate the human body, but rather life lies in the human soul. The reference to the silver spoon means that he will not grow up wuth everything handed to him in life but will rather have to strive for things himself giving him more opportunities in life if he can fight for it. Jack sees something that no one else can . A glimpse into his own future.  For jack the future has a completely different meaning, for him the future is anything about to happen. Not capable of oversight he is free of worries of the distant future like most but rather takes it on moment at a time. Not expecting anything and getting everything.

Xmas

            “I miss Santa Claus rather than God. “ To me this means that she misses the bliss of being a child. The time before life gets tough. A happy state where one can experience true happiness. Jack is constantly changing because his personality is not quite set in stone yet. As a young child he is unable to mask his emotions life adults but rather looks how he feels. A pure expression of emotion untainted by the onset or reality. As one gets older we use our face as a mask. Putting it on every morning  and only taking it off then we are alone. Based on ones mask is how people see you. A mask can always be changed but what’s underneath cannot. The mirror stage for jack is the first time be will realize that he is bound to one body. That his collection or neural impulses and emotions is actually held within a single vessel. His mind is not bound by time yet, his thoughts can run free not dictated by moral stigmas but rather by morbid curiosity driving him endlessly forward to explore. Jack is a Noas Arch or personality. His personality is ever changing ever developing. His environment will dictate which attributes will be dominant and which will fall to the way side.

  

                                                   

  

Here I combined one advertisement for redbull and one against sleepy driving. I combined the two in Photoshop. The new advertisement to me says drink a red bull if your feeling sleepy might save a life. 

Fast food companies usually advertise their food with skinny attractive woman. But in reality these women never eat these kinds of foods. In this advertisement I wanted to convey the idea that you are what you eat. Often people are mislead by advertising and false branding like for example fat free items that have nearly three times the sugar added to compensate. Obesity is one of the top killers in the U.S. but many have no other options. Due to how inexpensive fast food is compared to the price of maintaining a healthy diet leading many to have no other options.

Memorial

For my memorial I chose to make a monument for Proti Ztrate Pameti. It is a campaign against forgetting the past of the Czech Republic. "We believe that the freedom that we have in our country for 25 years, is commonplace and it is important to weigh it - despite some problems that plague our contemporary society. Incidentally, many of them have their roots in the communist past, and therefore this year's campaign subtitle Communism still hurts . "

This campaign for me is very important because my family was ostracized by the communist regime. I would place this statue where Stalin Used to stand ant letna. 

Stalin's Monument (sometimes also derisively nicknamed "the queue for meat"^[1]) was a massive granite statue honoring Joseph Stalin that was unveiled on 1 May 1955 after more than 5½ years of work in Prague, Czechoslovakia. It was the world's largest representation of Stalin, and was destroyed in 1962.

The Metronome, the work of sculptor Vratislav Karel Novák, was erected in 1991 atop the massive stone plinth that originally served as the base for the monument to Soviet leader Josef Vissarionovich Stalin

"Unveiling of installation The Tears of Stalin (Stalin's tears) in Letná Park Silvie Markova.

According to her, it is part of the project director and artistic boss Vienna group Theatrecombinat Claudia Bosse, who called Explosion silence. Giant installation on a former largest statue of Stalin have "recalls the atmosphere of Prague during its installation and removal, will symbols promises and expectations of society after the revolution in 1989". Installing the public has politically irritating. The project was prepared even before it was determined that the Czech Republic will strike on Thursday.

This is my vision for a monument at Stalin. Here you have a figure shunning the past but still being connected at the same time. Not forgetting the past when looking towards the future. 

Semiotic Analysis
In this advertisement we see what could be someones home.There are not many  elements besides the lamp, the picture on the wall and the text.The text read "When you leave a light on You're not the only one that suffers.'' This draws you attention to the picture on the wall the shows ice melting with polar bears and penguins. This image tries to say that not only wasting power effects you financially but it has broader implications mainly habitat loss for Arctic animals. The lamp could be replaced my some other electric device. But i think the polar bears is what most people relate to the effects of global warming.
