cyber terror

This week has been very exciting here at work. One of the things that frustrates me at the office, is how slowly things move. A new idea will come about for a film and I will work hard to research it and find possible characters etc., and then nothing will come of it. I know this is because funding is very hard to find, and just because we find an idea interesting, does not mean larger companies and audiences will too. However, this week we are working on an upcoming project that we know for sure is going to happen. It has been really neat to see how differently people work when there are real deadlines and the promise of implementation.

What we have been asked to do is create a multimedia exhibit which would show all the potential disasters that would come with cyber terrorism. Its really amazing to see how creative you get to be with a project like this. We not only provide all the information but we have to figure out all the lighting- which we plan to design so that standing inside the exhibit sort of feels like you are standing inside a computer. We also are going to do slideshows of photos, but not at all in a typical sense. In the pictures, elements of the photos would be removed and new ones are added, transforming the original image and introducing disruption, disorder, and disintegration. Today I have been searching through archives for pictures which could work in these pieces. I am excited to see where the project takes me!
