Performance Art

For this project my group decided to bring winter to florida. We thought it would be fun if we built a snowman out of unconventional materials in public to see what kind of reactions we would get. The materials included small plastic cups, permanent markers, and staplers. I was not surprised that we mostly just got stares, especially from young children. Some people did exchange a few words with us, and a couple asked for pictures with the snowman. Here's the little guy:
Our three influences for this piece were :
Gilbert & George - The Singing Sculpture which is an 8 hour singing sculpture performance. They brought an inanimate object to life, which was pretty cool.
Stelarc's "Ear on Arm" sculpture and project. took a sculpture and made it unconventional by placing an ear on an arm. We made a snowman out of unconventional materials. 
Swiss artist Victorine Mueller who covers herself in her sculptures made from balloons or pvc pipes.
