FlashProject

For my final project in D210 I created a flash animation. I wanted to continue my study of having the viewer experience an environment with very minimal information. I wanted to show someone walking down the street with possibly a song playing on their ipod or in their head. I wanted them to move to the music and to also show how they were moving through their environment. I wanted this to be a small opening into this persons thoughts and this is why I open and close with street noise.

Industrial Design

Over the past couple years, I have become very interested in Industrial design. And have found that these designs have come to influence me the most in my sculpture. The following are a few websites that I like to follow:

BFA Thesis Show

This week my BFA Sculpture thesis show is on display in the SoFA Gallery. The Gallery is located in the Fine Arts Building on Indiana University's campus. The opening is this Friday 7 to 9pm.

 This show focuses on the organic shapes and patterns that occur in nature that people are unable to view in everyday life. I believe that these  patterns often times go unnoticed but when a person takes a second to look at their surroundings from a different view, that person is able to create a story about the landscape based off of their own life experiences. 

Animation

I found this animation video that is titled "Letter A" by Blu. This particular artist crates videos using the stop motion film technique. He creates drawings on walls, floors, and ceilings in many different environments. Sometimes in the white wall gallery environment and other times out on the street which creates more of the graffiti feel. I like the aesthetic that he uses to create these videos and the remnants of the previous drawings that get left behind in each frame.

Change in project

This past week I added in another part to my dreamweaver project. I have added in more links and some of which show a word blurb that pops up close to where the person is within the website. So now when the viewer clicks on a room that the person doesn't want to go to, sayings such as "That's not my room!" or "Hurry up!" pop up. I feel like this addition to the website makes it a little more interesting and create a better relationship with the viewer and the "person" in the room of this website. 

Web Art Project

I am currently working on a web art piece, which is based off the idea of viewing people in there personal environment and having control over them. The image that is consistent throughout the piece is a blueprint layout to a house. When the viewer clicks on a room there will be foot prints that walk to that room and that will stay there until the viewer clicks on another room to direct the person to go somewhere else.
