exercise no. 2

an interactive experience
by ashley york

exploring life is an installation that invites the patrons of a funeral ceremony to explore the life of the deceased in a non-traditional way.

through an extensible collection of stories and visual imagery about the individual, the audience will be able to contribute to the narrative by volunteering his or her personal collections relating to that person’s life.

contributions to the story can be a personal story, photographs, home video in addition to any other collectibles that define this unique individual.

ultimately, the experience will represent the rich and varied life of the individual and will offer a diverse perspective of her as a result of the various material submitted by friends and family.

inevitably, an overwhelming emotional response will result given the oddity of hearing and seeing the deceased individual.

but of course, the most intriguing aspect to this experience is that it is controlled by the audience.
