Evidence

Considering the nature of evidence as being that which requires something to come before it.  This assignment asks you to "describe" something via the evidence that was left behind.  A simple explanation is found by looking analytically and critically at the definition below:

evidence |ˈevədəns|nounthe available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid : the study finds little evidence of overt discrimination.• Law information given personally, drawn from a document, or in the form of material objects, tending or used to establish facts in a legal investigation or admissible as testimony in court : without evidence, they can't bring a charge.• signs; indications : there was no obvious evidence of a break-in
A body of facts/information, in the form of a document (could this be written, recorded, photographed?), or material objects, signs or indications...
Similar to the language exercise that we did in class, the idea is to come up with the best way to describe a scenario or situation based on the evidence that you create.  This is due next Thursday, October 4th.  Since there are classes all day in that room, I think it is best that you either install your piece somewhere else (see installation form at the top of the blog) or set it up right at the beginning of class.   If you do the installation form, BRING it to class Tuesday so I can sign it!!!
Below are more examples than what I've already showed you in class.  Please be resourceful and look at these artists.  More likely than not, they have more work that falls into this category.
