My First Tutorial Today was my very first tutorial with Jonathan Kearney. Over the last few weeks I’ve been working hard on my ideas and concepts, so I was a little nervous, just in case I was headed in the wrong direction. However, I really enjoyed my tutorial! I came away feeling really inspired. Jonathan asked me some key questions about my work. The questions made me think about what I was doing and particularly why. It was good for me to question my own motives. Jonathan also made a couple of suggestions which I intend to follow up. He recommended speaking to a former student who became incredibly proficient at Touch Designer. This is one of the programs that I’m trying to learn right now. Any help I can get with this program is massively welcome. I also enjoyed our 5th zoom session today, with some in-depth conversations about the work by the Brooke and Black partnership. Overall I felt very good about today. Indeed after our weekly zoom session I even got round to shooting an unboxing of my CHLADNI plate kit, that arrived earlier in the post. I will be posting all about this very soon. Please […]
Research Notes, Ideas and Links – Below is the very start of my research. I have been collecting a few ideas to help me decide my area of research. It is interesting how my ideas are beginning to evolve, as I discover new materials, videos, imagery and new ways of thinking. I began with my initial research question ‘Unseen’. However I do believe this will certainly change over the course of the two years. I also have a journal of written ideas which I want to compile into more coherent mind maps. I suspect this will be the next stage of my journey. In the meantime here is the flow of my ideas and inspiration. They are in chronological order with the earliest at the top, ending with my latest links. 1). My research question – ‘Unseen’ when the unseen becomes the seen as in the visualisation of sound waves or vibrations or different forms of light such as infrared can those same visualisations stir emotions visually as the noises that created the vibrations. For example the vibration of a baby crying is this more or less visually appealing than say the visualisation of birds singing. Can these visualisations be […]
