About this project

The Slow Motion Show, is a thesis collaboration between three design students, containing several self-curated, self-produced art pieces.

It is a synthesis of different points of view and forms of design thinking. The content of the show interprets slow motion as a device used to reveal the unnoticed, introducing a new facet to one’s experience. Each piece displays the entire life of an object or process in which the lens of slow motion alters our perception of the object’s generally assumed meaning. The purpose of this show is to present a broader viewpoint of simple moments, in order to better understand their importance.

The pieces in the show range in medium--from video projections, to hand-written letters, to performance art. We've revealed some interesting interpretations of "slow motion" in an unexpected way.

Our show is opening in July, but we need around $1500 to produce the final art pieces, pay for installation, compensate performers, and print invitations. We'll reward donors with pins, bags, and other merchandise, as well as custom limited-edition pieces from the show, and acknowledgement at the gallery opening.

Please help us make our thesis the best it can be!

The show opens July 6th at the Visual Arts Gallery! Be there! 601 West 26th St, New York NY
