I am creating an environment for the co-inhabit project in which I will use a new exoskeleton to scratch the environment. Further questioning what is a mark? In order to make the environment easier to mark and to also allow a chance of a continued event to happen, I am purposely preparing my plywood surfaces in way that will reduce the chances of the paint to adhere to the surface in other words 'doing everything wrong'.
e.g. Making the surface greasy using wax and petroleum jelly.
Using acrylic co polymer on top of the greasy surface.
Using cheap poster paint and adding water.
White washing with silk emulsion and spraying polish.
Blobbing paint on and adding dust to create uneven surfaces.
