Research- Frustration (new)

Feeling frustrated?

We all get frustrated from time to time and it is perfectly normal. Hurting your head can cause the worst kind of frustration. You can’t do the things you want to do, when you want to do them. Your progress towards getting better can seem so slow and you often can’t do things you used to do.
You feel frustrated when everything seems to be going wrong or is not what you expected and there seems very little you can do about it.

Feeling frustrated can make you feel like life is getting on top of you. And there is nothing you can do about it. Feeling frustrated can make you:
-Feel stressed
-Panic
-Feel out of control.
These are terrible feelings. We can usually cope with one at a time, but when you feel frustrated you feel all of them at once and this can be really frightening.
What to do when you feel frustrated?

A big problem with feeling frustrated is that you can put yourself under pressure to come up with all the answers. Sometimes our problems can be really big and we need help from other people too.

It can also be frustrating that we can’t solve all of our problems ourselves. We all want to be independent and when we have to get other people involved all the time we can really get upset.

First things first, think about:

1. Why do you feel frustrated? Is there something in particular which is making you feel cross or is it lots of things? Maybe ask your a friend or parent to write them down.

2. Look at each problem one at a time It is easy to feel frustrated when we have lot of things getting on top of us all at the same time. Look at your problems one at a time.

3. Which problems are causing you the most upset? it’s a good idea to look at your problems and think about which one is upsetting you the most. This will help you to prioritise, which means looking to see which problem needs sorting out first.

4. Is there anything you can do? Have a good think, are these problems easily solved by something you can do or do they need other people to help you?

5. Can I fix my problems quickly? Some problems can be really easy to solve. If you have lots of little problems they can all get on top of you and leave you feeling quite frustrated. If they are little problems, what can you do to sort them out?

6. Is there anyone I know who can help me with my problems? When we think about it, there is usually someone else who can help with our problems. A problem shared is a problem solved. Think about who you know. Will anyone be able to help you with anything?

It’s hard to solve any problem when you are so busy worrying about them, worrying can use a lot of energy. Problems that you used to have may seem bigger since you’ve hurt your head. You will spend sometime adjusting to all sorts of things in life and one of those things is learning to cope with frustration when your problems are getting on top of you.


 Perhaps you're feeling trapped; perhaps you're so angry that you no longer wish to speak to anyone, not even your closest friends; perhaps you're feeling so sad and upset that you're having a hard time leaving yourself alone; or, maybe you're somewhere in between. Regardless of how you're feeling, though, it is absolutely essential to learn how to express your emotions in a productive manner. Everyone knows that it's unhealthy (and rather stressful) to keep your feelings on the inside, as people who do often end up in a bad way. Once you learn how to properly vent these emotions, you'll be able to communicate with others - as well as yourself - much better. It's not always easy to express your feelings, but it's rewarding when you do.

Topic:

Frustrated

Background:
We all get frustrated from time to time and it is perfectly normal. Hurting your head can cause the worst kind of frustration. You can’t do the things you want to do, when you want to do them. Your progress towards getting better can seem so slow and you often can’t do things you used to do.

Feeling frustrated can make you feel like life is getting on top of you. And there is nothing you can do about it. Feeling frustrated can make you:
-Feel stressed
-Panic
-Feel out of control.

These are terrible feelings. We can usually cope with one at a time, but when you feel frustrated you feel all of them at once and this can be really frightening.

Aim&Objective:
- to express your frustration through graffiti but does not cause any crime

- To reduce and prevent Vandalism and protect environment

Target Audience:
-MMU students

Motivation:

We all have ups and downs to life. How do you deal with the downs? Do you numb yourself and avoid them?

This is another "solution"to vent out the frustrations, sadness, and anger that arise as a normal part of growing and a healthy life : express your anger through graffiti.

The art of graffiti does not necessarily mean that you can create only urban and funky design through walls, you can just draw or write anything to express your frustration through the medium of graffiti conversations.

Graffiti is the act of inscribing or drawing on walls for the purpose of communicating a message to the general public. To avoid vandalism, this is why I am going to create an interactive wall. 

Ideation&Concept:

Basically the Interactive wall will generates graphics after the audience done their graphic on the wall.

content development (new)

Okay~ based on the comment on the passed critique, I should change my installation. It's impossible to change my topic because now already week 10, so I decided to change my installation.

Overall, my topic is still the same, to prevent vandalism of graffiti.
And now I got an new idea for my installation, I'm going to create an interactive wall projection.

References


-It is an interactive wall projection, once you pass by the wall, the graphic will growing by detect your movement.
-Beside that, there will be some awareness about graffiti vandalism pop up randomly on the wall.

For example

Critique 3- Interface Design + Technical part

The projector is to connect the computer.

The projector will be place at the highest place, to avoid the shadow blocking the screen.

By pointing a wiimote at a projection screen, the spray can can  interactive with the projection on the wall.

The Wiimote can track sources of infrared (IR) light,so I will try to put the infrared light (IR) inside of the spray can, so the Wiimote can track spray can that have an IR led inside the can.

Critique 3- Floorplan

Critique 3- content development

Basically I got 2 ideas for my installation

1) The wall projection is blank, the graphic will only growing by detect the audience movement.

2) It is an Interactive wall painting projection, audience can interact with it by using spray can

Critique 3- Content Acquisition - Research

Content acquisition - Digital Graffiti

Digital graffiti is the act of creating graffiti art using a computer vision system. Various groups and companies have pioneered digital graffiti since technology advances made it possible.

Graffiti demands your attention. Sprayed onto walls, street furniture or public transport, it's an unusually physical form of communication. Unlike the advertising billboards with which it shares the streets, graffiti is usually applied without permission, a distinctly unlicensed medium = art crime

The work of street artists draws sharply contrasting reactions: some see it as vandalism, while others take a more benevolent view that acknowledges the creativity of its practitioners. To the latter, sizeable group, graffiti is cool. Despite the efforts of some media-savvy companies to muscle in and use street art to sell product, the scene has successfully remained independent, with its own culture and language.

That independence makes the street art movement a natural for the internet, which so effectively enables individuals to pool their expertise for a common cause. Through the net, the spirit of graffiti has taken flight to turn a patchwork of grass-roots projects into an international movement.

"Computer technology has been instrumental in perpetuating graffiti and street art," says legendary graffiti photographer Martha Cooper, whose images in Subway Art, alongside those by Henry Chalfant, did much to legitimise graffiti art. "There are hundreds of graffiti sites where writers can share their photos. There are sites where you can select spray paint colours and simulate painting, and others which will create your name in different graffiti styles

So my Idea is tend to create an installation Wall which can play with paint with a full range of colours and fills. It’s like real graffiti without the mess. The other way to allows you to do vandalized!!!
