CSM Gallery Game

I came up with this idea before the Deadness Scale, but following the success of the Deadness Scale I decided to turn my silly ideas into work. I create a lot of doodles and silly ideas and in the past I had not thought of these as real pieces, but it was suggested that I should use these in and as my work.


Deadness Scale

This is the deadness scale that I created and displayed in my mini degree show. I came up with the idea when waiting at a tube stop and seeing a tube train fly past. The idea initially started as a joke, but when I secretly displayed it in the mini degree show it had many positive reactions. I included the piece as it appears in this photo in our group publication. For each piece I wrote a YPD (Your Predicted Death). I used a random number generator to create a number for each piece. The exhibited piece did not include photographs, whereas the publication did.
