What is appropriation about for me? The quickest explanation is repurposing an object/artpiece as is to give it another function or meaning. This can be as simple as turning a table upside down, but can also exist in the way of Pablo Picasso’s “Guitar, Sheet music and Wine glass, where existing pieces come together to form a new work. This way a NEW object is created.

Another way of looking at it is by using objects not in the way the designer/artist has intended it to. For example truck inner tires being used as floating devices or a table being used to sit on. Here semiotics come into play: Playing with what is expected from the user. This way an EXISTING object is used in a different way.

Appropriation also has a bad aftertaste in some fields, as it is also connected with copyright infringement. This happens when someone takes the work without consent or approval of the original owner.

When is it a new work? When is the original function (or meaning) new enough to be classified as original?

Everything has to come from somewhere: Linking artists/designers interpretations throughout his life and combining this into a new piece. (David T. Ansted - The stone book of nature) This way everything made, copied or not should be interpreted as a new work. You can’t copy something that doesn’t exist. Take “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” of Ren’e Magritte. In the same way you could perfectly copy an artwork, but the function and meaning change: If you repaint/reproduce Victory Boogie Woogie from Mondriaan, it isn’t about Manhattan or the music on the streets, but more about Piet Mondriaan and the fame behind his name.

Why do we not like being copied by other people?

Type of person that does it with intention of gaining profit. The intention of copying

Erkenning: Producent naar copycat gaat ipv de originele maker.

Since photo reconstruction does not work well with straight objects it would be faster and higher quality to recreate it by modeling by hand.

Contrafactual Past

Zittend naakt met appel.

An italian woman preparing dinner on a hot day.

The day the god Fortuna, god of fortune, fate and fertility leaves and makes place for Anteros, god of love and passion, women prepared a festive meal to celebrate the occasion. This day is often referred to as “giorno di riposo”, Literally translated to “Day of rest”. Where usually the locals of Acri (south of Italy) wore fabulous clothing to praise the gods, Anteros was praised by a day of openness and freedom. Since this day was not pinned by a specific date but determined by the harvest of tomatoes it was commonly associated by the refreshing of the soil. To prevent staining the soil with “unnatural” clothing, women and children were not allowed to wear clothes on the fields.

The end of the harvest was celebrated by a grand meal. Pasto Prandi (Meal of rest) was a dish where green tomatoes were peeled and boiled with spices, and wine.

This statue is a snapshot of a woman peeling tomatoes in preparation of pasto prandi. It is thought that this was originally made by an artist in Cosenza. Later was found out it was

Droog Cabinet

You can't lay down your memories

A cabinet: You are able to put stuff in (taking in), take things out (remembering). In the space between these two actions the cabinet is just there fulfilling its destiny. The opening and closing of the drawers comes paired with a noise: A slam, a wham or just a scraping sound because it is worn out. It is the quality of the memory that defines its sound. This quality is the part that I want to appropriate. The noise, the force, the effort needed to remember and store information, not only in a drawer, but also in the mind.

But.... how??

Where the focus on the original object lays at the chaotic cluster of memories, defined by the type of drawer, I want to use the sound made by the drawer to define the memories. Since audio is a strong key to remembering life events. Besides that it plays an important part in the storage of cultural heritage. Your heritage defines you. Your memories define you. Because everyone is different, everyone has his own sound, because the memories stored will never be the same as oneother's.

Visualization of code example 2a

Lines, perspective, all things that we have to consider while programming the virtual world. To keep not only the mind, but also the physical human in contact with the program we make an artificial stage, where the tactile connection correlates with the mental image of the program. [VR Crossdimension]

Combining these parameters makes us able to guide people the right way and happy in their Lifepod: Giving them the feeling of mobility.

With the colors, or, not-colors black and white, we can steer the mind in thinking of human reality. As communicated:

• Dark red equals the boundary of the simulation.
• Black defines the horizon.
• Pink is the color used to show people the way to the next activity.

Next activities should be linked to their corresponding colors:

• Green for meal.
• Blue for social interaction.
• Orange for leisure time.

Both these blocks are used for unconscious learning by triggering the optoneurons to provoke activity in certain parts of the brain. This to ensure mental growth is not prohibited in case an opportunity arises. [Optogenetics] [Schedule]

Keep in mind to strictly use our code as the person will feel confused and/or become aware of the simulation. When this happens serious actions will be taken to prevent this event recurring, and thus disqualifying the responsibles from their position.
