For this “bad prototype”, I had to consider all the resources that were available to me. I think the best part of this process was despite not having a lot of resources available to me and having to think in a short amount of time a project that I could come up with. The oblique strategy that came up for me was to make a sudden, destructive unpredictable action. I decided to incorporate free writing into the piece, while also focusing on the theme of homelessness. For this prototype, I was erratic with my action while listening to “angry” music and expressing it in my writing. I think this writing does not fully encapsulate how I truly feel, but I believe it captures the essence of the anger, the tired feeling, and the sadness. This inspired my project in a way where I want to include writing on the American flag in the final piece to create a more hopeless atmosphere.
