ASC Pt. III

So I'm taking this Cultural Theory class and it's all about observing what's normal and the idea of space... so we go through all these things and we go to these places and there's sort of a protocol of how to act in certain spaces. Our task of the day was basically to take the idea of space and observe it... so instead of just sitting around at a Tim Horton's or something, my group decided to disrupt space and see how people would react to something so awkward in the middle of their day to day life. So another group wanted to do something weird too so they started making chalk drawings on the pathway. A light went off in my head and I thought "How about if I lie in the middle of path, and you draw a chalk out line around my body?" and one of my partners says "How about you lay dead and I pray over your body?"

And we did it.

It was funny. People had different reactions. Some responded with an "Oh my god" face, that of a Joey Styles impression. Other people laughed. One person even took a picture. So if you happen to be that person that took the picture, please send it along.

I don't know what to make of this. It wasn't a big deal to me. So... ummm... yea, just thought I'd write about that.

I think the idea of normal is funny... but I'm anything but normal.
