Editing my title for this project has been very difficult thus far. So here's a quick progression:
2 August 2013 9 September 2013 22 October 2013 27 November 2013 2 December 2013 4 December 2013 | Economical Comfort Healthy Comfort Furniture Independence Can Humans Abandon Inactivity Reasonably? (CHAIR?) Can Humans Abandon Inactivity & Reliance? (CHAIR?) Can Humans Awaken from Inattentive Reliance? (CHAIR?) |
The main thing I'm trying to convey with this title is "Can Humans Become Conscious of Sitting" or "Can Humans Stop Being Unconscious of Sitting?" , but "CHBCS?" and "CHSBUS?" don't have the same ring as "CHAIR?" I should also stress that Reliance is indeed part of my project (John argued that I did not say anything about Reliance during my mock-presentation, and that's my fault. Though if I couldn't even remember to do that, then how important is it for my project? Hmmmmm...). We are unconscious of sitting because we rely on chairs, we take them for granted, they're ubiquitous. Yeah.
I also like John's idea of embracing the question mark and making it the banner of the project. The title then has a dual meaning--the meaning of the actual phrase, whatever it ends up being, and the meaning of asking "Chair?"
As in:
"Is that a chair?" (and by extension, "what is a chair?")
"Do you want a chair?"
"Should I use a chair?"
"Here chair, where are you?"
Stuff to think about. Still not completely settled on a name yet, but it'll come eventually. Just need to coax it out.

Seemed appropriate. Frustratingly appropriate. It's sad that the (overwhelmingly accurate) stereotype of art students is really just the stereotype of hipsters in an academic setting. This is something that I endeavor not to be and/or do, although I must admit the "Art Bullshit" makes its way out of my mouth upon occasion.
