Feedback from guest critic Kyle Li, as well as Louisa Campbell and my other classmates:
- Where are the bears sitting? In a clean gallery space, or in my room?
- Could the bears be having some type of online chat between them?
- Where is the viewer situated? Are they a participant?
- Should the cameras inside of the bears be obvious or hidden?
- Maybe show the bears differently on screen than they are in real life? Set one of them on fire, for example.
- I need to clarify whether I’m making something commercial or art; right now it seems to straddle the line.
- Security blanket idea– mod an electric blanket?
