I noticed a couple of things regarding the projects taht we viewed today. They were really good. And it seemed as if a couple of the projects really tapped into a feeling that has been ever present in them. Not that it was there identity that they were presenting but it was more of issues that they had with their everyday identity. For example Matt, what was his alter ego? Was it the dark side or the side that he wears everyday? He stated that he was a hellian growing up. Freud would argue that you never really let go of your childish natures. So wouldn't the hellian/dark side be his true self? And the everday ego is a mask that he wears to hide his true identity. The mask is his alter ego. So who are we really seeing? Matt or MATT?
Then with Brians, I thought it was interesting that he picked an icon such as Superman and Atlas to represent him. The weight of the world. A choice and a duty. Which one do you choose. I refer to myself as Superman alot. I wonder how many other people, men and women, feels this way. I also felt like the candy bowl would have been enough by itself. It gives the sense that your world is still vulnerable to breaking. Or that it has already broken. Given the connotation.
Also I thought it was intersting how jenn kept refering to Barbie as "she". Barbie is not real. It's a doll. But Jenn gave the doll physical manifestation and a persona.
