We had a brief crit in studio today where everyone presented all the work they have done so far, and where they want to take the project.
It was all very exciting, because the project directions are all unique and interesting, and I couldn't help but pick out pieces from each and daydream while they talked.
Punishment (or torture) through Ornament -
Temporary jails or detention camps, a sort of Inflata-Guantánamo Bay, are another clever attempt at torture through ingenious means: overwhelming Rococo ornamentation adorns each prefabricated detention-cell, too visually stimulating to take in. Sickly sugar-pinks and bright golds; flourishes and grotesques in every corner; every crevice crammed with gilt curls. It hurts to look at that much ornament. Baroque music is pumped into the space and after only a few days, hours even, the detainees succumb! All capacity for thought has been crowded out by the trills and swirls.

After, we went for drinks and dinner at a Korean place. Home again, and considering take the night "off."
