Silence

Study the decay of a subject (preferably organic). Document it’s life from beginning to end. Use film, drawing, photography or sound or combine them. The images should than be presented as a cycle or a loop. (film or moving “sculpture”). This assignment is about learning for yourself at which point an object, according to you, is not alive anymore. This is a case of ethics, aesthetics and rituals to decide when something starts-ends-afterlife.

By collecting information/data about the life cycle of a system/object/life form/ideology you can visualize the cycle
through artistic interpretation. When you research, the data you collect should incorporate a system/ archive that perhaps
needs instructions to read before the visualization and interpret the data into knowledge and understanding.
For example: Reading a map needs explanations - the map is a constructed artifact that builds upon a system of codes
that needs to be interpreted to function as an indexical representation of “real life”. The International Cartographic
Association defines cartography as; “the discipline dealing with the conception, production, dissemination and study of
maps. Infographics design is about representation.
