* Κατ’ εξαίρεση του κανόνα της επιτόπιας δημιουργίας, θα επισκεφθούμε ένα σκυλάδικο και θα επιδιώξουμε να κινητοποιήσουμε το ενδιαφέρον των θαμώνων για τα περιβαλλοντικά θέματα. Ελπίζουμε να αποσπάσουμε ατάκες αισθητικής από το σκυλάδικο και να τις μετουσιώσουμε σε μια μελλοντική οικοαισθητική ταυτότητα.
With production of an informative television advertisement, guerrilla optimists probe media receptivity and response to the urgency of our global environmental predicament. We feel the need to test society’s systems of communication, with a little help from the public. By infusing passers-by with guerrilla optimism, we invite people to express their concerns on the future of our environment, and to consider how to communicate that concern to a TV audience. Museum visitors, and passersby can join in the conception and production of a comm(un)ercial that both inhabits the forms and codes of the media but also bypasses them. Everything in the ad must be made within the museum premises*. An effective aesthetic communication must be made for society’s most powerful medium without any budget and with found objects and donations of time and interest from people. A bulletin board tracks our on-going interactions with people, their revisions to our scripts, their aesthetic involvement. It also tracks our subsequent communications with Media powers and the relative success of our attempts to be televised - questioning the effectiveness and speed of mass communication when it could be critical to our future survival.
*In an exception to the on-site rule, we will visit a skiladiko and seek to engage people there with environmental questions. We hope to steal aesthetic cues from the skiladiko and morph them into a future ecoaesthetic identity.
