For this project I want to incorporate the 5 senses plus the 6th sense to show that we use our senses for more than we know. Seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling are the 5 that everyone knows about, while the 6th sense, the actual sense of knowing without knowing how you know (extrasensory perception) is one we don't consider often. Some people may not believe in this sort of thing, however, we all sometimes get that feeling of knowing when something is going to happen or knowing when someone is watching us, etc. I want to capture all of these senses in their different ways and meaning and combine them into each their own quadrant, for a total of 6. I want to display them almost in a pyramid scheme to show that the main 5 senses are what contribute to our 6th sense. In doing so, I am going to use boxes of different sizes and shapes to create this look. I would like to get all of the materials put together as soon as possible so that I can start practicing and as...
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's 33 Questions per Minute really intrigued me because it is one of many of a lot of large-scale interactive installations that he does. This one in particular focuses on a computer program that generates fortuitous questions. Most of the questions don't make any sense, but the program uses grammatical rules and words from a dictionary to make these questions. The LCD screens that he used to display these questions would show 33 questions a minute, enough time to read them but not to reflect on them. However, it is interactive as well. Viewers can enter their own questions into the system and they will randomly be put into the mix of 33 questions a minute. Since they are random viewers are unable to tell the difference between computer generated questions and human generated questions. I find this work really interesting because it shows us all the different possible outcomes for questions and questions that have never been asked bef...
Light Field Camille Utterback Camille Utterback's Light Field is an installation using pieces of blown glass and mini projectors. I chose this piece because it's gorgeous and very appealing to the eye. At first, it is almost hard to tell what kind of images/videos are being projected onto the glasses, but after reading in the artist statements saying that she shot the videos in the meadows close to Pilchuck Glass School, where she was in residence nearby, it is easy to see her inspiration. What interests me a lot about this work is that she worked with other artists in their specific areas of expertise to come up with a piece of art together. The film, the projection mapping, the glass, and the table fabrication were all done by someone different. The projected light onto glass and opaque chips and curves on the glass is very captivating. She uses the curves and chips to her advantage, knowing that the projection will curve on those edges. There are a total of 8 ...
