We ask you to create an ongoing **installation for which your presence is not required to keep it functioning.
The tile of the artwork should be "The Fourth Plinth".
The fourth plinth is the northwest plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London. It was originally intended to hold an equestrian statue of William IV, but remained empty due to lack of funds. For over 150 years, its use was debated; in 1998, the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) commissioned three contemporary sculptures to be displayed temporarily on the plinth.
In 2003, the ownership of Trafalgar Square was transferred from Westminster City Council to the Mayor of London and this marked the beginning of the Mayor of London's Fourth Plinth Commission as it is now known.
From 2005 - present, different sculptures by a variety of artists was placed on the plinth.
The square is a very significant place. It tells the history of war and british power.
I could design a sculpture for the fourth plinth. Maybe I could use a code to create a sculpture. I would love to use robotics to have moving elements that randomly change shape.
I think simply designing a sculpture would be kinda boring.
How can I create something that generates a sculpture by itself?
I tried to create visuals with javascript (p5js) but it was more complicated than I expected and I could not create what I wanted even with the help of ChatGPT.
Now that I can’t create something that is generated constantly, I’m thinking about touching on the dark history of the british empire.
Maybe I could create the fourth plinth but filled with blood. Or a teacup filled with blood, or just a blood-dripping tea bag.
I ended up creating a comic strip that was scripted by ChatGPT and I used sdxl1 to create the images. I compiled everything in Canva and called it a day.
