Quick Summary to Start This All Off a Bit

Hello, welcome to Chris Fiore's IP blog, The Chaos World Caper which is kinda the working title of the story I'll be presenting through my final project.

I wish to present the superhuman myth in a new light, in both story and aesthetics. My thesis statement, the opening of what will be a larger paper presenting the research and idea behind my work, second to this blog, is as follows: Exploring the superhuman myth through new aesthetic means, bringing the extraordinary into reality.

I wish to make an installation that will bring the superhuman myth into our world. Made up of a series of real life objects, items of graphic design, illustrated images, and pieces of sculpture I will tell the story 13 criminals (supervillains in general terms) pulling off a series of heist that will lead to the biggest payout anyone has ever conceived possible, the world itself their prize to take.

Each character has a unique personality, ability (some do not but are skilled in other ways), and back story that will be revealed through news paper clippings, advertisements, past records, and other assorted items that are real.

Through the police records and files of these criminals' actions, as well as the back story to each character, you will find out exactly what they are trying to do and what their next move is. The why will be subject to the reader, making them think about the actions of criminals on a far grander scale. You will also be introduced to a few of the officers themselves through the evidence, several individuals that would be herald as this world's superheroes if such a thing existed.

To come in this blog will be specifics of what I will be working on. Some of the characters I've created with their back stories, a list of the evidence that will tell the story, sketches of the installation and, later on, pictures of the installation, and the story itself.

I hope you will enjoy!
