Maya - installation

I guess this was the most funny and the most creative part of our sculpture class, because everybody got an amazingly difficult assignment to create something which is meaningful from such bricks, which has nothing to do with each other and the issue as well. Natela and i got "space" and "responsibility" as a topic or issue, and "rodent", "belt" and "cd" as available materials. I guess it was absolutely meaningless, that is why we decided we don't want to change our materials to a potential-meaningless other one, but we try to create something really funny with these amazing stuff. We decided to cerate a new word: space-responsibility, as a topic. Meaning we all are responsible for the entire environment which surrounds us, not just the Earth but the entire Universe (space), because we are the part of it.
And then we created a "Children-version" installation for children in any kindergarten, with a fairy tale-like story, which based on a super hero rodent, who can get a message from the Universe, and will play the music of Spheres with his special CD-player, which of course hangs on his belt, for all the living beings, and raise the "space-responsibility" in their/our souls. :-)))
We also created an outdoor installation, which can held somewhere in New York City, which is one of the most vibrant city of the world, and also the symbol of commercialism and consumerism. Where -of course it is a cliché- everybody live just for selling and buying something new, and don't care about the others, and our environment. The money is their god, to sell something or buy something is like a prayer for them. Everything is noicy (CD), dirty and full of useless stuff (the outmoded stuff bought yesterday, like design belts), everybody is getting locked in small and smelly blockhouses or cages, and finally everybody is suffering (including small animals, especially rodents). But where is the space-responsibility?!?
Our last installation is not site-specific, can be held in any gallery, and a bit more conservative. We would create a huge room, where at the corner you can see a smelly trash-hill (including CD-s and belts of course :-), there is smoke around you, and on the walls you can see some images, how the unresponsible humans destroys their environment, how they build up their garbage-hills, and how they try to burn away those disgusting formations (which of course pollutes even more the environment) or try to dig into the earth to hide those trashes from their eyes. When you can stand in front of a picture you can hear the voices of the actual happenings, and finally you can see our last image about the Universe (space), which is getting more and more polluted from the Earth - from us of course. But where is the space responsibility ?!?
These installations have sounded and have seemed ridiculous, and of course we all had a great fun, but behind it there is a quite important message for all of us.
