Forecasting Me

November 2013- January 2015

Materials

1440 yards of multicoloured shoe lace, screws, vinyl and 150+ employees and visitors of WGSN

Description

Invited to design a work that would reflect the employees and business of WGSN- trend forecasters, I inverted the task- asking them to reflect on themselves. FORECASTING ME, is a participatory data plot point art work, illustrating individuals future aspirations likelihood and painting a portrait of a community. Participants were asked to select a spool of shoe lace that correlated with their Astrological sign, and then plot points on the X and Y axis of the wall, joining the points in a weaving graph line. The X axis listed potential circumstances from the imminent to distant future:
I will tweet about this now
I will misbehave tonight
I will have mayonnaise in my lunch tomorrow
I will spend more then I should on clothes this month
I will have the same job next year
I will only buy online by 2015
I will contribute to the advancement of my field and be knighted by the king in 2030
I will travel by camel, helicopter and speed boat in retirement
I will be in love when I die
I will endow the arts in my will


The Y axis listed the quantifiable likelihood including:
Not relevant
0%
Nearly Impossible
50%
The odds are good but the goods are odd
100%
I bet my life on it
Leave it to Chance

As individuals added their graph line, the wall filled creating a data set and an abstract woven painting. The work was made on November 7th, and will be up at WGSN till February 3rd, 2014.
