NOTES

26 FEB: Mihail seems to have landed with his idea for his graduation. The starting point of his project is a script which leads him in making a video of found footage. The script will probably be generated by Twitter. The tweets of an account (or multiple accounts) will give the content for his video. For example when there is a tweet saying 'having eggs early in the morning', the video will show footage of people having eggs in the morning. Mihail finds these videos through Youtube. Mihail wants to make (if I'm correct) a video which fully covers a day (from morning to evening).

12 MARCH: Instead of making a video out of found videos (mash-up) from lets say Youtube, Mihail now is thinking of using the tweets as a guide to shoot the footage by himself (control). Next to that Mihail is thinking of using several twitter-accounts for several videos. He is thinking of 3-5 accounts/videos of maximum 5 minutes. Preferable Mihail will use accounts which vary between each other with some having very concrete tweets while others are vague. This give much space to interpretation by Mihail. To present this work Mihail is thinking of using multiple screens/tv's.

Question: is there a possibility to implement certain ideas of the original proposals? (Building a portrait/sculpture).

NOTES: His project reminds me of:

• It chooses you - Miranda July - book based on meeting with a guy on PennySaver (commodity market) and is the starting point for her movie The Future.
• Cliches - Emilie Brout & Maxime Marion - spoken fixed script, changing images.
• Stories of Mister Wood - Vanessa van Dam & Martine Stigt - fixed script, executed in two different cities.
• Body Scan - Erica Scourti See also: [1].
• Puck verkade - The way she use and show video as installations.

Can I make my/a own project out of it? - question for Annet
