Interactive Multiples

Project Prompt
The printing medium performs the act of duplication, and letterpress, more so than other fine art printing mediums, allows for speed of printing. Multiples in fine art have, by the very nature of repetition, the power to exaggerate and suggest consumption, oppression, even bliss or the sublime. Unlike an edition of multiple prints or objects for the purpose of resale, the multiple in fine art can also create a place for audience participation and social engagement, using interactive elements that perform various duties. Whether you’re amassing, distributing or destroying multiples—this project asks you to consider how the use of multiplicity can inform the meaning of your work.

Project Guidelines

Start conceptually, brainstorming ideas about how you may interpret the ideas of the multiple in your work.
Narrow it down to one or two ideas and develop a sketch and/or a dummy
Take comments into consideration, making final adjustments
Decide how you are going to create it (paper, printing methods, etc.)
