Experiment 2- Questions towards understanding 

“For a uni assessment I am exploring sexuality and identity and for this part of the assessment I am exploring why certain questions are reluctant to be asked, if the aim is to understand and progress towards a more respectful and open minded world.

We live in a world where every experience/sexuality/identity can be unique to an individual and whilst it may be ideal for everyone to already be expected to understand uniqueness and variations, it is unfortunately not always the case and education is needed to further acceptance and respect.

You may feel like you sometimes don’t ask questions due to being afraid of offending someone or experiencing miscommunication. Often the way of progressing towards peace and love is the ability to try to understand others perspectives and feelings, in order to reevaluate or improve on your own understanding of someone or a situation.

If you could ask an individual or a community a question based on sexuality and identity. What is a question you would ask?

Who would this question be directed to?

Why do you feel like this is an askable question/ an intimidating question?”

This was passed on to a range of different people, including variations of ages, sexualities and identities, in the hopes to stimulate discussion and progression to better understanding individuals and communities. 

With this experiment it seemed to be evident that many people were open into better understanding individuals and communities. However, they themselves were reluctant to ask certain questions due to offending others. All of the people who expressed these questions had genuine intentions to better understand people. 

If you feel like you can provide an insight/education, based on your individual experiences, it would be greatly appreciated if you could comment below.  Or if you have a question with genuine intentions to better understand sexuality and identity please do the same.

Discussion supports the progression of harmony and respect to all us different unique individuals.  

It helps us think about how someone else might feel, by better understanding how we can put ourselves in other people’s shoes to see from different perspectives. 

Reflecting on this experiment myself, I also sometimes found it difficult to word everything in a way that did not offend anyone. I know that I had genuine intentions in educating myself and improving my understanding and helping others do the same. However, I did not want to come across like I was offending anyone or wanting to bring anyone down. However, hopefully I conducted this experiment in a respectful manner.

Experiment 2: Art simultaneously being created and destroyed

For this experiment I went to Katoomba Falls in the Blue Mountains and created a sound performance work. Using the sound of the waterfall as the base of the musical piece I added other environmental sounds through hitting rocks and rustling leaves. This created an ephemeral sound piece which embodied its surrounding natural environment.

However, I did not document the work. I did not take a video, photo or a sound recording nor was anyone else there to listen to it. Did my work happen? The absence of any documentation as I performed this work meant that it was simultaneously being created and destroyed.

This experiment engages with the classic quantum theory question of ‘if a tree falls in the forest, and there’s nobody around to hear, does it make a sound?’ In questioning this idea i thought about the nature of performance art, and how the only thing to verify its occurrence is the documentation i.e.In Marina Abramovic’s peformace work, “the lovers” the only reason that people were aware that this actually existed (apart from the artists) was because of videos and photos.

 This idea (as discussed in my previous post) stems from my first assessment where i was investigated how as a result of overstimulation, art is losing its message. If this is true, and we live in a society where we perpetually critique and criticise plus social media/ globalisation has meant that an overwhelming amount of art can constantly be accessed, is art against all odds before even being created i.e. is it being destroyed (lost its value or message) at the same time its being made?

Experiment 2

I wanted to further develop my glitched mountain photo by progressing it to a moving form. I chose a different image I preferred that focuses more on my subject matter and experimented with trying to make a moveable image.

I looked at a couple youtube tutorials and decided to try it with this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anDvD_qzbOM and photoshop.

In the process of creating my GIF, I had to manipulate different layers with filters such as wave, motion blur and adjusting colour channels. All of this had to be done on a timeline setting and through adjusting the timing of the timeline of layers I was able to create my GIF.

I really liked the process and outcome of this experiment and will likely be progressing to use it in my final project to comment on the distortion of the organic by the synthetic.

EAST VS WEST 

I was interested in exploring the binaries between the east and west, and how despite differing cultures/views/opinions, many physical elements of the societies remain very similar. 

Started by finding a collection of photos I took in the past from previous travels to europe vs asia___

experiment 2 - vagueness 

here I explored the structure of objects - the object being chosen is leaves. I explored the idea of colour and the colour that they hold, which has a further meaning for people and animals. By stripping away detail and colour of the leave ( I used a scanner to achieve this, inspired by Frank Gehry, I worked backwards to remove any structure and detail) 

in the last scanned image, I overlaid it with black pen to create some sense of structure however all colour has been stripped - becoming vague as it lacks colour and further meaning.

ASSESSMENT 3: Experiment 2

~ Focus: using plotting software to try and use graphing techniques/linear plots to create a visual effect. 

This experiment turned out to be fairly overwhelming visually, mainly due to the scale and very limited colour palette. I’m not sure how much of this imagery I’ll use in my final work, but I do like where it came from and the calculated (but still a little unpredictable) nature of the curves. 

~Explanation: read these images in columns, as 4 sets of graphs stemming from the same original (i.e top row of four are the same exact graph using the same formula and parameters). As you step down each plot, either one or both of the variables has been altered by a very small amount in order to document what could be a passage of time, or a spatial difference, or both. 

~ The original graph is actually a basic version of a wave function that could be used to describe resonance of the human body (based on my own measurements) in terms of x (spatial) and t (temporal). We’ve just finished covering waves in physics, and the idea of fundamental frequencies and natural resonance really stuck with me; using an implicit plot to map this waveform out let me mimic some of my line drawings, as it produced these extremely layered but relatively simple images.

This my progression for assessment3. I decided to use ordinary objects and see in them other things. The subject is still perception.

EXPERIMENT 2 (Part 3): Perception

[1450091452-blog]

In today’s society,with the expanding population and improvment of our life,we start to pursue beauty.For example,people will buy some potted plants and put them in cups,it can save space and it is very functional.

So i started to think can i use a box to make a nice potted plants.

I found a box which i put headset .

I used knife made two holes,the reason is if i need to irrigated plants the two holes will provide a good outlet.

After this i start to put soil and plants in it.

Experiment 1 - exploring the binaries between individual sounds and how they can come together to create a harmonious piece!

I tried using garage band for the first time just to see how it would turn out. It was cool to see how each separate beat/tune when played together could create something so dynamic and sinisterrrrr

ASSESSMENT 3: EXPERIMENT 2 “What are you doing now?” We asked people “what they are doing now” and collected their answers and photo. This was exploring what a subjective sense of now looks like when we interact with different people. These are their answers (starting from top left) 1. At the moment, filling out my experience survey 2. Was helping Grace 3. I'm waiting for my mum to get to work so I can get my face mask 4. Working out what everyone else's timetable are so I have friends 5. Looking at capital city populations 6. Going to eat my lunch a shepherds pie and frozen 7. Working on a design project 8. Working on a design project the final design 9. Feeling worried about my assignment that it won't get done

Experiment 2: Using the gamestyling 

In this experiment, I tried to create a gamestyling on expressing and presenting the battle between human-being (Zoe, in the animation) and mosquitoes. Furthermore, I still tried to keep the style of Jenny Watson in this work. Arno Caravel was the inspiration.

The process was quite exciting that I even felt that I was playing the game of “Killing Mosquitoes” :)

Experiment 2

For this experiment, I edited close up photos of the box-stack, playing mainly with bringing the different colours forward in prominence and changing the warmth/saturation/tone of each image. This gave some really fun results, especially with boosting saturation to the maximum and comparing those pictures to a black and white version of the same. I then decided to make sections of each image transparent in order to layer them a bit more seamlessly, and used rotation and repetition to then create a final “picture”. For the ‘circular’ picture (image 2), I measured the angle of rotation for each iteration and used 20 images each rotated at 18 degrees to the last. The other two pieces were more based on randomness, as I just let myself play around with the aesthetic (choosing direction, layering and degree of rotation only based on how it made the whole look). 

- The photos were taken with my iPhone camera, during various times of day in order to see some different colours and ways the light interacted with the shapes and lines created by the stacked boxes. 

I was really aiming to push away from the physical constraining features of the boxes themselves, as that is one of the ideas I think most heavily associated with a box: containment. I also wanted to emphasise my exploration of duplicity and layering, as I am fascinated by the ways you can use simple line and hard, angular shapes to create contour and vagueness.
