| Based on your work in P1, you will activate your archive – either through direct inspiration, or by imagining something new based on your research – via a narrative object(s). This object should demonstrate its underlying logic. At the end of the semester, we will present our objects in an object fair. | {{ :projects:933d395ce376d3f771916ce536bfc5581bc792ae-1802x1653.webp?600 |}} |

| | Based on your work in P1, you will activate your archive – either a factual "world" through direct inspiration, or by imagining something new based on your research – via a narrative object(s). This object should demonstrate its underlying logic - and could range from a flag or currency for a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_micronations|micronation]], to the [[https://www.pokencyclopedia.info/en/index.php?id=sprites/gen1/spr_yellow_gbc|artwork sprites]] for a video game.
