sound participation projection

April 16th, 2011

Staying late at university, I decided to project my participation projection, the triangles rotated/moved to a microphone input: sound produced by people, cars, airplanes, and bird noises, creating new and different patterns. I filmed the projection, these are some of the screen shots. I was inspired to do this after reading about a 1920’s hooter symphony orchestra in Russia where a conductor operating from the rooftop signaled to engine and horns as well as an exhibit called memory wall which reacted to clothes worn by people walking past. found here

pattern appliation

March 23rd, 2011

Once I had established a method for the illustration and created a pattern, I started to think about how the illustrations could be used for promotion and their application.
My idea was to incorporate the patterns onto items and objects, and create a room set-up to demonstrate this. The idea being that a fan could create their own pattern and then get this printed onto a product.

This image is a sketch of the room layout I planned.

First task=wallpaper. I drew out each frame of the song “intermission” and then placed it onto wallpaper strips. This image show a test made-up of a3 pages.

Once the test was complete I then got the sequence printed onto wallpaper.

combs-back-blue

photogram using combs to represent a body figure. The chemical effects have been created where the photogram was not washed properly and has left behind fixer making it go sepia. The photogram was then enhanced to saturate the colours and then the whole photogram was inverted to create the blue tones.
