When completing this project depicting the advancements of technology in the United States from 1970-1990 we compiled a large amount of items to visually show these advancements on our final project. In this project, we used a ubiquitous amount of model cars to show the advancements of technology in the automotive industry. We also, used old computer parts including wiring, floppies and light bulbs to symbolizes the rise of computers and the silicon valley. Other objects, such as VHS tapes and cell phones complete the technology spectrum of 1970-1990.
Our primary means on aquiring this found art was finding these objects in the confines of our homes. The other way we got our found-art was from the generous donations we received in class such as the VHS tape and floppy discs.
If I would have done this project again, I would come more prepared with our found art items and quotes. Although we did finish the project on time, it was quite stressful when assembling it. Other than that, our group preformed very well when completing this project.
Advice I would give next years class is to plan ahead on their project and know where to look when finding found-art. It saves a lot of time when you know where to look. When working on this project, one should think of it as a scavenger hunt when finding found art and enjoy this project.
