Mary Banas
R.C. Sayler
The brief for the second project in Art + Design Colab for Fall 08 requested that groups aim to fail, and document the process every step of the way. Heath, R.C. and Mary B. started out with the given topic—Autumn/Fall—and a brainstorming session. They ended up two weeks later with a set of faux-movie stills presented in corresponding vessels: Mary's was in a box, Heath's in a crate, and R.C.'s in a birdcage.
Unbeknownst to his fellow collaborators, R.C. formulated a plan in an attempt to accelerate the "failure" of the group with various invasive, destructive, and passive tactics.
The three participants presented the final project together in a slide presentation, with R.C. breaking from the group at the second slide to relay his attempts at sabotage with an oral presentation; this interfered both with the audience's ability to understand either of the presentations, as well as mimed the anxious tension that the collaborative situation created.
