Inspiration from immersive art research

I really like the immersive experience that some artists do like this digital art museum in Japan. TeamLab_Borderless is one of Tokyo's most famous immersive experiences. I could just stay in this immersive experience forever. It is fully mesmerising just looking at it on a screen, let alone being there in the person. It's like an out of body experience and a sense of escape. I'm really interested in creating an installation so the viewers can have a similar out of body experience listening to the spoken words and looking at the hanging pieces I am creating. I previously mentioned before that the ambient music that goes alongside the audio piece reminds me of light and water. I'm going to test out hanging clear plaques from clear fishing wire and projecting light onto them.

I like the idea of hanging lanterns instead of clear perspex

I also like this image as it looks like an abundance of floating lanterns. There is something magical about lanterns. In traditions like the Chinese Lantern Festival or the Japanese Toro Nagashi, lanterns are used to send messages or wishes to loved ones and ancestors. This can symbolise the transmission of thoughts and feelings. I think creating lanterns instead of hanging plaques could come across beautifully. I would like to write the thoughts onto the lanterns themselves, have bound paper hanging from each lantern, or even make the lanterns out of the written thoughts. I'm now reminded of the Work of Jo McDonald who is in my previous research.

Critical Studies Research with Tom

  Art vs Design Ballpoint pen and Paintbrush Art is something that I believe doesn't need a purpose to exist whereas design needs a purpose to function. The ballpoint pen on the left is designed for the purpose of writing. Whereas the paintbrush is for creating art. The brush itself did have to be designed for a function but what it's made for doesn't have a purpose, which is ok .  Calligraphy is the art of writing letters with a paintbrush whereas a ballpoint pen is also to write letters but in a simple non-artistic way. Authorship Auerbach and  Robert Stadler This drawing by Auerbach interests me due to its expressive movements and marks. It reminds me of an 80s video by the pop group Aha ‘Take on Me’. It is very expressive and lacks details in terms of accuracy. I can imagine the artist making this drawing and visualising his arm moving in my head as if I were making the drawing myself. It also has a darker side to it. I think this is because the charcoal he uses, it

Professional Practice 1-6 Talks

Professional Practice Talk Talk 1 - Tom Hackett It was really interesting how Tom took us on a journey through his work. The first thing up on the screen was his CV, which started off as a list format and then spiralled on a journey of organised chaos that he navigated us through. I found Tom's work and journey really inspiring. Like the huge hand-knitted coloured net that covered the building above. "You have to go to the world.... The world won't go to you" I really like this quote above from Tom because as a working artist, you have to push hard and grow a thick skin to get your work out there. Along the way, you will hear a lot of no's. Tom is a successful artist, not just from his skill as a creator alone but because of his can do attitude and his likeable personality. An example of how Tom goes above and beyond was when he stayed awake on a small rowing boat for 24 hours. He collected water samples from along the river Severn in Worcester to then create this

Final Development for Portrait Project 'Torn Emotions'

Final video of Torn Emotions for Portrait   I decided to change the music for my short video using Artist Cleo Sol- Myself. I feel that the lyrics work with this piece giving the viewer hope if you are going through a troubling time. I was unfortunate on this day of recording to not have a beautiful sunny day so I created my own light in the background to recreate a sunny day as I wanted to get that sun ray effect on the video. I attached an A3 piece of acetate to the back of my piece and then I further stitched on top to connect my images all together. This was to correct where I removed the stitching on acetate I didn't like.
