FYP Visual Communication 2016-17

I’ve decided to focus on “Life on Europa” as my project as it includes both space and DNA related thingy (sort of).

After doing some research about Europa and reading about the news NASA recently released which, created quite a hype among scientist, I’ve decided to do a short abstract film based on it.

Last week’s consultation directed me to zero in on the focus of making something more modular. Placement of bits and pieces and visuals and crafts can lead to different end results in creating sound.

In my first prototype( in progress) outlined in my previous post, my process shows that the assemblage could be in a way a tribute to the birth Read more →

For a start, some of the keywords that I rooted for wanted to be a huge part of my FYP.

From the keywords, I branched out to several more words for the quality that I want in my final work.

*3 keyword definitions from dictionary.com. The rest annotations came from me.

Since starting my research, I’ve found some great DIY videos on Read more →

Alright, not really. Zelda’s not present. I just made this post (first post of many like these) to feature some of the articles I have been reading to bring me closer to a concrete idea. That is, if I can stop myself from stirring the concrete before it sets. Might not be a terrible thing however — like most things, Read more →

This post will focus on exploring the narratives that could be illustrated, and exploring the “abhuman”

The Abhuman

In literary studies of Gothic fiction, abhuman refers to a “Gothic body” or something that is only vestigially human and possibly in the process of becoming something monstrous,[4] such as a vampire[5] or werewolf.[6] Kelly Hurley writes that Read more →

“Scannography (also called scanography, Scanner Photography or Scan-art) is a new way to represente the world around us.”

It is an alternative form of photography but the differences is quite huge.  A few of them are the absence of perspective and of depth of field, the regularity of the light captured by thousands of captors. I felt it creates a new perspective Read more →

I got interested in working with analogue and converting to a digital output through one of the work (Cinema Redux) by Bredan Dawes at the Big Bang Data exhibition in the Art Science Musuem.
