proposal for mixed media artpiece

Title: - (none as of yet)

Description:
I intend to create a physical representation of inner personal struggle within the mind of the present day human being. It will relate to the feelings of stress and regret that is almost constantly felt in our lives. It also hints towards problems with short-term memory, so while being spontanious it is also very 'heavy'. It will mostly relate to myself, as I will be the main source of material and inspiration.

Description of Piece:
The hybrid artwork will consist mainly of a large bulletin board, most likely four feet by five feet. it will be mounted on a wall, the middle of the board at an average eye height. The board will be leaning into the viewer, and have built-on extensions that curve outward towards the viewer, as if it is about to envelope them.
The board will be covered in layers of post-it notes, calendars, and various reminders. The notices will be about various things someone has to do; places to go, things to return, people to call, things they forgot to do. Some of them will relate to each other. The top layer or most obvious reminders represent the most recent, and the ones behind them have faded away in the person’s memory. Strong regrets or reminders will possibly be repeated several times in one spot, taking over the ‘present’ obligations, but every note will be fighting for attention in some way.
Around this piece will be several speakers, roughly the size of a fist, coming from the sides and bottom of the board and dangling slightly towards the floor. Each of the speakers will have a different sound track coming from them. One will be a course of multiple conversations, both happy and sad, casual and serious. One voice is often common in all of them. Another speaker will be playing random sounds and music clips. These would be distractions that are popping into the person’s head. Another speaker will relate to memories of the person, and what they are saying to themselves in their mind. The sound will sometimes be distorted, and occasionally a strong statement will be heard clearly. Such things would be apologies, reminders, laughter, crying, or destructive sounds.

Creative Problem:
People today are always keep saying they never have time to do everything they can. Often true, this is not always the case. Many people are also lazy and forgetful, or scared to do the things they need to do. They can often get wrapped up in their worries and regrets and lose sight of what is currently expected. I want to see how people will be able to relate to this piece, since it is supposed to be something everyone can experience. This is also something that is important for me to create, because it is a very good representation of myself, and I feel that delving into this concept further will allow me to understand myself and my aspirations better. Also, it will probably get me in a rather interesting and disturbing mindset, which will allow me to put forth more meaning and emotion into the work.

Materials:

Bulletin Board 4'x5' Speaker set
300 post-its, various sizes Wire (30 gauge?)
Industrial glue Calendar/Agenda
staples small hooks
nails

Hopefully this will not kill me. =)
