PART ONE | the task roulette:
SEE WHO CAN GET THE MOST PHONE NUMBERS AT THE MALL.TRY TO WIN ON AN ONLINE PENNY AUCTION SITE.
- SET UP CARNIVAL GAMES IN YOUR BACKYARD.
PART TWO | how I solved it:
+ 3 tables of 3 rows and 6 columns with a cell of 4 units height and 4 units width. Centred.
+ While each table stands for one of the selected games, the cells represent one of my tryouts to hit the target within the individual game.
THE DRAWING
+ Taking some ideas from the www.carnivalsavers.com web page I created three different “Carnival Games” using the materials found at my studio:
GAME ONE – BALLOON BURST:
+ Corresponding with the drawing table, 18 balloons were attached to a board. The objective of the game was to pop as many balloons as possible (or with other words to pop them all) with 18 shots, using a handmade dart.
+ The drawing image is a transcript of the end stage of the balloon board; the popped balloons with a cell painted black, for the balloons that “survive the attack” the cell stays blank/white.
GAME TWO – RING TOSS:
+I was playing with a spray-paint can and a ring made out of wire. I had 18 tryouts, one for each cell, to toss the ring around a peg.
+ Starting with the upper left cell and proceeding across to the right, if successful the cell is painted black, if not the cell stays blank/white.
GAME THREE – BALL TOSS:
+ Here I used a tennis ball and an empty paint bottle placed to a plinth. The objective of the game was to knock down the bottle. I was given 18 tryouts, one for each cell.
+ Starting with the upper left cell and proceeding across to the right, if successful the cell is painted black, if not the cell stays blank/white.
+ HOWEVER, since this is a random order “game” the final image ie. which table should be used for which game’s results, was specified by the random sequence generator at www.random.org
+ The sequence top down is as follows: game one, game three, game two
