IS THERE NOTHING WE CAN DO?​​


Is There Nothing We Can Do? focus​ ​on​ ​the​ ​2017​ ​headlines​ ​currently​ ​happening​ ​in​ ​America.​ ​I​ ​decided​ ​to​ ​work​ ​with news​ ​and​ ​typography​ ​in​ ​my​ ​installation​ ​considering​ ​we​ ​do​ ​not​ ​focus​ ​on​ ​it​ ​as​ ​much​ ​as​ ​we​ ​need​ ​to​ ​because​ ​it​ ​does​ ​not​ ​affect​ ​us,​ ​but through​ ​my​ ​installation,​ ​I​ ​want​ ​to​ ​alter​ ​the​ ​audiences​ ​so​ ​they​ ​can​ ​ask​ ​themselves,​ ​​Is There Nothing We Can Do? 


​Adding​ ​typography to​ ​my​ ​installation​ ​makes​ ​it​ ​more​ ​informative​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​engaging​ ​because of​ ​your​ ​reading​ ​and​ ​passing​ ​through​ ​this​ ​room​ ​of​ ​troubling and​ ​hanging​ ​headlines​ ​that​ ​have​ ​no​ ​end.​ ​From​ ​the​ ​ceiling​ ​are​ ​headlines​ ​from​ ​earlier​ ​this​ ​year​ ​to​ ​the​ ​bottom​ ​is​ ​the​ ​most​ ​recent​ ​of​ ​last week.​ ​During​ ​this​ ​process,​ ​I​ ​have​ ​been​ ​documenting​ ​and​ ​cutting​ ​out​ ​daily​ ​news​ ​that​ ​comes​ ​from​ ​the New​ ​York​ ​Times,​ ​Washington​ ​Post, CNN,​ ​The​ ​Alt-Right​ ​, and​ ​many​ ​more.​ ​Illustrated​ ​on​ ​the​ ​headlines​ ​are​ ​videos​ ​of​ ​2017​ ​news,​ ​that​ ​becomes​ ​violent​ ​and​ ​disturbing​ ​to​ ​the viewers.​ ​I​ ​would​ ​want​ ​the​ ​audience​ ​to​ ​ask​ ​themselves,​ ​did​ ​you​ ​know​ ​this​ ​was​ ​currently​ ​happening​ ​in​ ​the​ ​news?​ ​And​ ​if​ ​not,​ ​does​ ​this not​ ​impact​ ​you​ ​in​ ​your​ ​life?
