This project is creating an extension of ideas. It is based off of the story of how Isaac Newton was sitting under a tree and was hit in the head with an apple that fell. It was that apple that gave him the idea to think of a formula for gravity. In this project, apples are coming down from a hat. The problem is not that the hat is giving the person ideas, but that too many ideas can become too much to organize and carry. The gift of thought is then transferred into a burden from its surplus. The concept of weight in this piece is also very important. The more ideas that are piled on to the hat, the more heavy it becomes. This project claims that ideas and concepts are things that people usually wish they could easily have all the time, however, if that wish comes to its full extent, people will be uncomfortable with taking its burden.
