The artist Tania Bruguera, produced in the Tate museum, a room in which from the moment people entered, they began to cry. Compared with the spaces of this museum, that was a fifth of the rest, all white, with only holes that came out of this smell, which encouraged the cry. The room was so small that only 2 to 4 people could enter, making them share this moment between them, and not with a crowd.
Some people, only a few tears fell, others had not cried and sobbed from crying. This work marked the lives of people forever, and they did not know why they were crying, because this smell that expired in the room, was hidden, no one knew. Because of this, some people even laughed inside the room, because they were crying "for no reason".
The fact of marking people's lives and provoking a reaction is something that I really want people to feel at work, a new feeling, something that really makes a difference.

This film talk about the history of 3 woman that at the end of the movie, their lives intersect. The principal history begging when one of the woman start to receive flowers at home, but she doesn't know who send it to her. Throughout the movie, several times flowers are the theme and i realised that the feeling changed, due to the situations in which the flowers appeared, not so much in relation to the type of flower, but in general. Each situation caused a different sensation in the characters, it was very interesting.
In relation to my project, this film helped me realize that the presence of the flowers, were ever they are, it´s important and they can change the energy and the meaning of that place. The film doesn't show the meaning of each flowers, witch is a big part of my project, but it open my eyes for a different perspective of their importance.

Book "The Meaning of Flowers: Myth, Language & Lore"

This book beginning with the meaning of the flowers in an big concept, bringing sensations and experiments. One phrase that i think that make a lot of sense to me on my project was  " Our poetic relationship with flowers may arise from the function of blossoms in nature. Flowers are beautiful
and odorous for a reason: to spread pollen and engender their kind." So, the conclusion is: They are not just flowers, every flowers has a reason behind and her meaning and that i was i found fascinating.
After that, the book starts to present a huge flower arrangement, including what they mean, a little bit about the history of that flowers and if in some countries her meaning is different.
One thing I loved about this book was that it was easy to understand, no frills. He has helped me a lot to understand what each flower means, but I will not enjoy it whole.I intend to make a selection of flowers that I would like to use and maybe go deep into these ones. Another option is also to play with these meanings, bringing metaphors.

Feliz Gonzalez is a conceptual artist, known for his installations and sculptures, using  materials such as strings of lightbulbs, clocks, stacks of paper, or packaged hard candies. His style is very minimal, using just a feel colours and also, one material at the time.
Untitled (Portrait of Ross in L.A.): In this work, the artist used candy to represent his lover, who died from AIDS. He did the equivalent of his lover´s weight into candy in a corner of a gallery and then, people could take the candy. Using the metaphor, it was like if the people were taking a piece of his lover until he disappear.
I found this relation very interesting,  It's like he's actually saying goodbye to love. I think that metaphor in art is always a way of distinguish your work, it is always a think that no one knows and then they find out, the piece became way more interesting.

Rebecca was one of my principal references for this work, because i identify myself a lot in her work, minimal with the flowers and also, using a metaphor with the gravity, like if the flowers were falling but in fact they are trapped.
Her work, "The Canopy", is an installation which she make into a mall, as if it were a garden on the roof.She used only dehydrated blooms that se found on Australia, like:  rose, hydrangea, protea, gypsophila, statice and rodanthe.

`Duy Anh Nhan Duc is this art piece, she display in many ways the flower Dandelion, experimenting their fragility and poetry behind.
She experiment different ways of representing the flower and their mechanism. In some of the art works, she used the roll flowers, in others just the Patels, to give diversity to the collection and also to show the possibilities of doing art with flowers.
In relation to my project, I think that this possibility of playing with each piece of the flowers is a interesting aspect to introduce on a possible outcome.

During the Victorian Era, flowers were a method of communication, for things that couldn´t be said live, were "translated" by flowers, being decoded by the meaning of each one. However, after the Second World War, this type of communication was forgotten and never used again.
In the book that i read The Meaning of Flowers: Myth, Language & Lore, in each flowers, they presented the meaning of the flower related to the Victorian Flower Language, bringing to me more interest about this field. Another think that i found on this website was the relation between this kind of communication and now a days, when we use emojis, it is a big resemblance. Communicate thought symbols or codes is something way more interesting and intriguing than just send a normal message.
Here is some of the codes that i found:

1. "If flowers were given to a recipient upside down, it meant that they were meant to mean the opposite of what that arrangement typically symbolized.

2. If flowers were given to someone using the right hand, they were used to answer “yes” to a question. On the contrary, if they were given using the left hand, they were used to answer with “no.”

3. If someone received an arrangement of lupins, hollyhocks, white heather and ragged robin, they were being wished good luck.

4. If someone received an arrangement of delphiniums, hydrangeas, oleander, basil and birdsfoot, it was meant to deliver a more negative message, such as you’re heartless and beware.

5. If someone was given hyacinths, it could symbolize a few things, such as play, forgive me, or games."

The lecture with Charles was very inspiring, he gave to us a good reality about our area, what are going to be our problems and resolutions. One thing that he always talked about was related to mistakes; he said that creative people, get more mistakes. This is because they experiment more, they don´t are afraid of making mistakes and having to go back and most of the times, it is starting from this that the good ideas come.
He have a program with a lot of others teachers that they go to museums, galleries in Brazil or in other countries to see expositions and discuss about it. I found this idea very interesting, and i really want to go, i thing it is a very goos experience.
Some of the references that he showed to us:
- " The Artist", Oscar Wilde
- Eduardo Berlina
- Richard Ground
- Michal Rouner

During the research week, i went to Itaú Cultural. It was having an exposition, called Coleção Brasiliana Itaú, from Olavo Setubal. It was about a roll collection from people who went to Brazil to draw every flower, plant and animal existent. It is very inspiring because, the draws are so real that you think that they were printed, but when you et close, you can see the pencil. For my work, i dont think i will work with draw, but in case, i have this inspiration, this big collection. The exposition also have medals, coins, photos, paint of old Brazil, very interesting how long people keep this reserved.

- What most caught my attention in the exposition was the texture of the works, the contrast between materials and also the way they were placed and presented, witch is a very important aspect of my project.

How Nature Benefits Us Through All Our Senses

In this site, I find out what each sense can be relevant in natural spaces. After reading all the meanings, I realise that all of them are related to relax and calm. They all said that if you are connected with nature, some times not physically, but listening one natural sound, your mental healthy is going to became better, with reduced anxiety and stress, lower heart rates, and increased attention.
I intend o bring this sensation to my project, for people really to remember the felling after going away and also, to allow an sensation that they really are going to be conformable being there .

“what is a meaningful nature experience?”

# data[].attributes.body
A significant experience in nature can be classified from a relationship that each establishes with nature, according to some feeling, being: peak, flow, exceptional, awakening, synchronicity, transcendent, mystical, ecstasy, spiritual, epiphany. However, each human being may have a different experience, because of this, this term should be quite broad.
Normally, when we have experiences involving the natural field, our auditory perceptions are very sharp, in which we can have more attention than in our day to day.
“[…] the definition of MNE definition creates / perpetuates the perceptual division between humans and nature but, as is the intent of classifications, it allows for conceptualizing complex phenomena existing within a connected social-ecological system.”

Book “The benefits of nature experience: Improved affect and cognition”

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't read this book, because I found too expensive , but I found the idea very interesting. The writer divide two groups, one of them, make an walk around an city , observing all things and sounds. And the other one, were to an florist and make another walk, with the same aspects to play attention. After that, they realised that the group that were to the woods, were more relaxed and feeling better than the one that went to the city. This concluded that all the elements on nature, get better our humour, energy, don't get us nervous or anxious, different with the ones in the city.
This quote below is the summary of the book:
“This study investigated the impact of nature experience on affect and cognition. We randomly assigned sixty participants to a 50-min walk in either a natural or an urban environment in and around Stanford, California. Before and after their walk, participants completed a series of psychological assessments of affective and cognitive functioning. Compared to the urban walk, the nature walk resulted in affective benefits (decreased anxiety, rumination, and negative affect, and preservation of positive affect) as well as cognitive benefits (increased working memory performance). This study extends previous research by demonstrating additional benefits of nature experience on affect and cognition through assessments of anxiety, rumination, and a complex measure of working memory (operation span task). These findings further our understanding of the influence of relatively brief nature experiences on affect and cognition, and help to lay the foundation for future research on the mechanisms underlying these effects."

An algorithm would be a way, to solve problems, being its finite alternatives, to actually arrive at a result. We have already used the algorithms, without realising it, for a long time. When we are going to solve a problem, we think of all the possibilities, if the first doesn´t work, what and how we should continue. It's basically what happens inside the computers, they all have directions of what to do for any possibility.
I believe that i could use the algorithms in my project for, maybe, organize the results of my surveys and experiences and also think about an outcome relating with this, an APP, or an gift service

This work from  Rejane Cantoni, called "Quantum" i saw in Itaú Cultural. It was a tunnel that in one of its parts had a convex mirror and in the other a curved screen. when we entered this tunnel, the image that was projected from our body in the mirror was transmitted to that screen, which reproduced it. However, sometimes this reproduction could appear at the end of the tunnel, because what was projected was our energy and often it moved. In addition to this, on this screen there was still a reproduction of UV rays, transmitted by our body, but as we can not see, they did not appear on the screen, besides a graphic in the background reproducing the sound at the moment. It is difficult to explain, but it was a very good and unintelligible sensation. The work was very beautiful and the graphics that appeared on the screen, when they came together, were even more beautiful. Behind all this theoretical and physical explanation, what I liked the most was the experience of seeming to belong to the work and that if I was not nobody there, nothing would be happening. Relation of belonging is very important.

CEASA/CEAGESP is a flower and plants fair that happend Monday to Tuesday and Thursday to Friday, on 00AM to 6PM. I had already heard about it, but i didnt had the opportunity to go. This is a very famous fair because they have a lot of variety of plants and flowers. The place is a shed and every seller has his space, so the quantity is immeasurable. When I went for the first time, I was very shocked because I did not think it was that big. In my head they only sell plants and flowers, but they also sell all type of packaging, glass vases, plastic, everything related to the sale of them.It was a unique experience, very grateful to have known this place.

This film talks about the owner of a Flower shop in Harlem, USA. The firsts minutes of the film are very shocking, because the owner is talking about all kinds of people who go to their flower shop and all the emotions that they can carrie, like love, angry, happiness all of them. I really liked this first words because they open your mind for the meaning of flowers and how they can change you day.
This film talks about too the life of the owner, what he likes to do and everything else. Although , the film do not speak 100% of the time about flowers, I really loved the documentary, the pictures are lovely and the testimonials of each one too, talking about the origin of this floriculture and how it was passed down from generation to generation of this family.

The artist is known for her minimalist style, always working with a lot of organic material and also, her works most of the time have the characteristic "site-specific", that is, it was made for a especific place.
The artist a lot of organic matter, Anya Gallaccio has a very interesting characteristic in its work. As it preserves much of nature's life and its normal cycles of life, the artist never knows how her final work will remain, since they can change totally visually and even conceptually from her decay.
I found this idea very interesting to have a surprise in the end, to let things happen naturally as they should be. And even if the work is rotting or even losing its shape, it will be matching the paths of the job narrative.
"Preserves beauty" is one of the works of Anya Gallaccio that i really liked. Is is based on a installation with a flower, witch is called hybrid. This flower has a popular name witch also is his meaning, ‘beauty. The artist wanted to bring this metafor with the flower and how her word ended, because those flowers spent days exposed, without water. And in the end of the exhibition, they were dryed and looking badly. I really liked this relation that the artist build, it is a veruy intelligent and not too explicit meaning, because if . you dont know witch flower is, you woudnt understand and think that is just a normal flower, however is a meaning behind and this is makes the work way more interesting.

Yayoi Kusama is known for working with large facilities and there is always an explosion of colours.
In Flower Obsession (2017) , the artist invite all to enter in  a "house" and in the beginning they receive  gerberas and some stickers imitating the flower.  They could put those were ever they want and the final result was house complete of flowers from ceiling to floor. I have the feeling that types of art like this one, that each person is responsable for something, it makes more important the job, each person knows that she or he put a flower in this piece, or a sticker and it makes much more special the experience, leaving an inner joy in each one.
