Illustrationundead, the half experience.

Intervention/interaction. 5.

For the public intervention/vinyl cut-out project I want to do something both humorous and somewhat serious. I hate being in the auditorium for various reasons:
One: I strongly dislike (grandma always said hate was too strong of a word) all the classes that take place there.
Two: I hate (sorry Grandma) all the classes that take place there.
Three: I feel as though while I’m in the auditorium I should be sleeping instead, or doing anything else really.
Four (and MOST important): When I do choose to be there I can’t listen to the speaker because everyone around me is talking too loud with their giant face holes.
Thusly, I would like to do a cut-out addressing all of these people and their inability to simply not make noise with said face hole. I was thinking of doing a cut out of Braille which would read “Please Keep it down, some of us are trying to listen.” The problems I face are as such, Most people, myself included, can’t read braille, and I have to make it so it can be read by everyone, so they can stop talking. solution: Have an accompanying image, of which I have three options: A face talking with the universal “no” sign over it, A face with no mouth, or a face with tape over its mouth.
Another problem is how to make the braille raised, solution: multiple layers, problem: money. I ideally want to put the piece on the podium, on stage, at the front of the class. Another idea would be to put it on the desk of the one of the chairs so that the students could actually interact with the piece and feel it as braille is intended.
