Project brie:

Explore sesorial therapies by developig a ctitious therapy. Tis therapy cabecome a device i a orm o a graphic/iteractive arrative (ctio) to createa dialogue or iteractio to maximize well beig.

Persoal statemet:

I have always bee attracted to the huma mid cause o the elemet oukow attached to it, which makes it very iquisitive ad captivatig toexplore. Tis mid is where emotios, behavior, imagiatio, thoughts admay cogitive processes ca be experieced. Ad therapy directly taps thisvery mid to treat or heal a emotioal ad behavioral disorder (i ay).Tus, it is very iterestig to explore how the disorder (actio) ad its remedy(reactio) are both geerated rom the same mid through seses.

Coversatio with astrologer

A ew pointers aer the conversation:

A special coectio to God attaied through meditataio His methods are godly approved, ot sciece approved.

Possible placebo? Te story goes like this: A doctor came to him oce adhe was wearig rigs ad he complaied about the sleeplessess ad a severeheadache. Te astrologer asked him to remove a particular rig ad asked himto sit calmly or te miutes. Aer 10 mi, he doctor replied that he was eel-

ig much better.

Observatio/Ierece:

I this case, it was more like the doctor was expected to eel better/relie aerremovig the rig ad the result was positive.

Belie see as spiritual occurece as strong belie in God.

From the story he told, it was easy to ier how the astrologer uses the ex-pectancy technique which takes place as a placebo eect.

Coversatio with the Homeopath

Role o a Homeopath

o create a receptive state o mid = uderstadig the cause ad eect equa-tio + idicative medicies.

Possible placebo? Positive eergy i the orm o motivatio acts as a placebo (theory # 3) Belie is a motivatioal push to thevital orce to brig about a placebo e-

ect.

Whe this awareess is brought, the patiets themselves come up with solu-tios. (Possible placebo?)

Observatio/Coclusio:All people eed sometimes is a motivation/external push to the vital orce

preset withi or a placebo eect to take place.


6/17

Iereces/Coclusios through Research

A psychology experiment was conducted to test the placebo efect

Placebo - A result o proposed theories

Result o Expectacy Eect: Subjects will expect a give result ad will there-ore report that result.

Result o Classical Coditioig: People are coditioed to associate a par-ticular stimulus with a particular respose.

Motivatio to eel better ad cooperate with a experimeter to be the ulti-

mate cause

Aalysis

Interpretations o a placebo efect:

Perceiving a reality but questioning that reality, whether it is real or preten-

tious - Nupur

Placebo something not real, pretends to be something and poses itself to berealEnd result a placebo takes place. Mr. Ravindra

Questioig Mysel

My placebo is goig to address what? - stress.

So, accordig to the three coditios metioed above, I eed to create acoditio (stress related) where the eed to address it will arise, creatig acoditio or a placebo to take place.

How is the problem o stress addressed i art therapy?

What is that a perso is made to talk, draw, thik, act?

How is the perso made to express his/her stress?

3) What does the orm do?

Help me use my learig ad costraits i a eciet maer to meet thegoal o creatig a placebo.

Make people believe their stress is goe by creatig a illusio.

Te big question: Why am I doig this? Usig my learig o art, desig,space, ad electroics i a very therapeutic approach to create a istallatioo placebo?

Key words derived from the phenomenon: Broader

Concepts:Idea of perception, action reaction, belief, human response to (Inert)

stimuli, appearances, measured and controlled deception, illusion, posi-

tive effect

Exploring the idea of Belief

Out o 10 people, 2 to 3 people said that they beleve i God. Te rest 8 saidthat they believe i themselves.

this group o people also orms the majority o the educatedurba livigmoder people.

I believe i mysel

Refectios:

Aer thikig, I started to questio who is this I ad who is this Mysel .Could these two subjects be separated rom each other?

I oe believes i oesel - the pheomeo o placebo eect seems like just amechaism to make the believig happe.


12/17

Why the separatio o me ad him?

Placebo efect is a psychological efect. Te body is lookig or a eect totake place. Aer the itake o the sugar pill, the body believes that that thesugar pill is healig it. So the healig happes, just that it is the body thatheals itsel, ot the sugar pill.

Te process o healig itsel to translate this process into a space, the il-lusio that you are separate rom me. It is a sel-geerated process, whichmeas the actio ad the reactio, are both geerated i the body itsel. Adthe body is actually healig itsel sub-cosciously.

now i order to thik i terms o a space the rst idea was to separate thesubcoscious ad the coscious i.e he ad me respectively. Start a dialoguebetwee he ad me.

Attributes o a mirror = illusio, perceptio, actio reactio, the idea o whatyou see is what you believe, respose to stimulus, coditioig, cotrolledmeasured deceptio, separate You rom you, appearace.

Iitial sketches

Collagy sketches ituitively doe

Why mirror?

A mirror as a metaphor to separate you ad him (ier you) because while

studyig the pheomeo o a placebo, oe thig got cormed that it is Youwho heals yoursel. Ad all you eed is that exteral stimulus (sugar pill iwhich you believe) to start the actio o healig yoursel (reactio).


14/17

Free Writig:

A quick poem to chur out ituitive thoughts (Beig therapeutic with oe-sel)Ca I ame this poem Catharsis or Emotioal Catharsis

Lookig i a mirror, I saw mysel or the rst time,Lookig i the mirror, I asked mysel, why is it that I always whie?

Lookig i the mirror, I said, I dot eel so good today.Lookig i the mirror, came a reply, dot get the smile o your ace this way.Lookig i the mirror, I raised my ger ad elt agry. I shouted, Dot tell

me how to thikI tell you, I dot eed a shrik

----------------

What came out o the writig was the possibilty o a coversatio/ a dialoguewith yoursel i the orm o a arrative.

now i order to thik i terms o a space the rst idea was to separate thesubcoscious ad the coscious i.e he ad me respectively. Start a dialoguebetwee he ad me.

Equating the above scenario to a placebo efect scenario

Te patiet believes i the sugar pill (iert substace) which acts as a stimulusad the patiet heals himsel

Te Perso starts to ollow his ow refectio which he sees through themirror (iert stimulus)
