Site Specific Project Thought Process

I began brainstorming with my group mates from before. What I wanted to do was something on a larger scale, time willing. I wanted to do something with less of a theme and more of a shock value. I wanted to capture people's attention for some time. Time is a resource that I had problems with all semester long. And I found myself envying those who had time to take a break even though they may not have even realized. I thought about doing reverse graffiti somewhere. Cleaning a dirty area with household cleaner in small portions to create an image. I couldn't find a place that would allow me to do so. And I didn't want to get arrested at the end of the semester. My group members and I came up with the idea of hanging capes on all the light posts and trees around the Belk tower area. This wouldn't have any particular idea behind it, but people would stop and wonder what these capes where for. During this time period, however short it was, people wouldn't be thinking about thier exams or thier money issues or problems at home. In essence, they would be taking a break. Again resources became an issue. We weren't sure about time because we would have to speak with facilitities management to make sure that these activities weren't illegal. And facilities hadn't returned any of my phone calls. We had also spoken with the building manager in Rowe about chalk drawings on the outside of the building. He said it would be okay if we cleaned up after ourselves. And then another roadblock. The weather forecast said that it would be raining all week. WTF?!
