                                   This Is Not A Drill exhibition-Field TripThoughts on exhibit/sketch for possible art piece09–24–2023I found the show to be very inspiring as well as engaging. Personally, I think one of the aspects that heighten the experience of going to an exhibition is interactivity. For many of the pieces I came across, I was able to manipulate them in some way through a simple action.  As seen in the first picture, there were multiple sliders attached to these wooden boxes with pictures relating to nature. With headphones on, the user could hear the different nature-like sounds and even manipulate the composition by keeping some sounds at full volume while muting others.  


Another art piece I observed that I found interesting was this box-where inside were these different panels displaying filters related to decay .  Someone observing this piece would be able to pull back  some panels , removing some filters and thus change the main design seen inside the box. They can add all the filters back, revealing an introspective piece that shows decay.  Overall, a very moving and thoughtful  art work. 


I particularly liked seeing all the sustainable materials and their possible uses.  I found it very inspiring to see how we could lessen our use of unsustainable material and instead use something better without losing the practicality of the material.  If I were to exhibit something for the show, I think I would design a dress or a full-outfit in which the materials used to create such a garment/garments would be sustainable and perhaps biodegradable to show that even when clothes are not made to last they do not have to end up in landfills. For a physical representation of this idea, there could simply be a mannequin wearing the outfit. Next to it could be a plaque labeling all the different materials used for each specific part of the outfit. In terms of what it could look like digitally, it could be represented through a virtual fashion space, where the user can move around and see the different outfits and learn about the materials used.
