The mechanism / The components of the wall:
-balconies --> the permanent room
-posters --> the transient room
-piazza (space in front of it) ---> transient? (wall gets thicker, piazza gets smaller)
-the ground / floor (collector of unsuccessful propaganda)
posters as balconies
the posters in 3d, as a cage/box, with the person inside shouting out the propaganda --> a living propaganda wall with living speakers.
- if the balconies speaker do not agree with each other, they start destroying each others' balconies until they fall --> overlap of posters get cancelled out.
- The destroyed balconies/propaganda fell and form the floor/ stairs (i.e. separation between the wall and the mass)
- however, if they do agree with each other, the balconies both get stronger through each others' support and might merge into a bigger balcony
- Transient : the ground surface and the balconies on the surface
- Permanent : the balconies that are buried by other propaganda balconies
- the ground -> accumulating destroyed propaganda, a constantly changing landscape.
comments from the review
- mimmo rotella
- an opportunity to talk about the messages
- banksy --> counter messages
- posters --> only there for a moment
- to be more specific what I'm interested in, is it not politics? if not, what?
- what is the nature of the actual object
- overlap --> erasure
- building function as propaganda
- connection between balconies and posters
- mediator
- more of a mechanism, not a wall --> logic of the system
- transient vs a more stable mechanism
- the piazza in the front --> the space
- a thick surface
- the distance to the wall --> remove
- take position about the form of the wall
- media communication
- the barrier rather than the wall
- the message would change depending on perspective
ideas
poster collage.
overlap of posters:
thickness of the wall would be defined by the components, when components works with each other the wall gets thicker; when they don't the wall gets thinner.

to empower the people
-each person is given their own balcony, so that they will feel empowered
-since everyone has a balcony, the value of the balconies becomes worthless.
and still thinking... still composing the argument.
