I really like Chris' idea about the logs and creating something of it! Plus that would be easier for us than having to go through the school to find out how to 'protest' on campus.  But all three ideas are very cool, but I would have to go with the forest one.

I really like the idea of the upper campus forest idea. We can attempt to make a bunch of buildings out of logs (kind of like linkin logs) and photo shop the trees out to make it look like the land has been developed and the trees went into making the buildings... I don't know, it sounds cool in my head. Just thought i would throw that out there.

Hello everyone,

Just thought I would let everyone know I am done typing up the interview. Please let me know about any concerns or whatever you may have, so I can make those changes before I submit it. If you want to see it, I can't send it yet cause i don't have internet on my computer at the moment

The GE Show
TA 10 Spring 09

So I have an idea for the environmental design but it still needs a lot of work. I was thinking we can go in the forest somewhere at UCSC and gather wood, twigs, logs...whatever we can find that is nature-y and make a statement with using them. We can make a statement about the departments being cut due to the budget cuts. I don't know, just an idea. What do you guys think?
who: the GE show
what: Tree bark, logs, twigs, wood..whatever can be found in the forest
when: Install when the group can get together and document at the same time; De-install after we are done documenting
where: Upper campus somewhere; Don't need permission and is accessible to everyone.

I’ve posted a picture of Salvador Dali on our blog. IT is not just an ordinary picture but a picture of him made up of his works to create his face. I want to do something similar to this with Obama using butterflies. Both are cliché concepts or ideas but I feel like Obama is a change that is very powerful and after reading his book I know that it was many little things that made him the man we call our president the same way they say a flap of a butterfly’s wings can create tsunamis or waves else where.

Keeping with the theme of the group, I'd suggest a zombie walk. We find some fairly public area (somewhere like in front of the bookstore) and affect the environment by throwing a little post-apocalyptia in there

We ourselves would be what is added to the environment to alter it, shuffling and moaning along, and seeing how people would react to it. I don't think we'd need any kind of permit to do something like this in some place like in front of the bookstore, but it could be considered some kind of protest (in fact, we could play it off as such, the idea that cutting stuff from the school is cutting our intelligence and making us brainless zombies), so we would need to see what kind of permission is required to protest on campus.
