@ Real life

I would like to pitch the following for my project:

1 . For the individual work: an installation that deals with creating a space for people to have an audio-visual sensory experience that takes them to another place.

For the pair work, I would like to create a system where artists can come together to share items with one another. kind of like the Read more →

Noted; (1) is deliberately vague... can you imagine something more precise? (2) - who are you presenting today together with? perhaps Kamarul, he imagines doing a mega-art-show. The two of you could talk together and merge/combine your ideas?

For the individual project, I am thinking of doing a project that can bring attention to the environmental issues associated with plastic bags.

It will be an installation of plastic bags, where the idea is to show how plastic bags with colorful, eye-catching advertising are appealing at first but eventually begin looking decrepit when dumped in the trash and left to decompose.

Nice to see a project that is clearly addressing sustainability issues. For the 'pair' project, who are you presenting with tomorrow? Grab one collaborator and hash it out..

The Tiller Girls

“The Tiller Girls is a group of 12 small autonomous robots. These robots were developed in Artificial Intelligence for the study of gaits given minimal freedom of movements. The robots can only balance their torsos and shoulders but they can yet achieve a large variety of expressions and behaviors.”

I think it is interesting that this work was ‘inspired’ by real Read more →

Spot on! The 'Tiller Girls' are thoroughly 'technical'.... question is, what is it that makes them 'girls'?

@ Ting Chou

I see all your works require technology. Why would you want to present your work related to technology and robots? It is highly important to choose the materials for your work because you might spent a lot of money and affect the feasibility of the work.

If you have limited budget, will you still make more works based on technology?

The project inspired me is called Up Series. It is a series of documentary film produced by Granada Television that have followed the lives of fourteen British children since 1964, when they were seven years old. So far the documentary has had eight episodes spanning 56 years (one episode every seven years). The children were selected to represent the range of socio-economic backgrounds in Britain Read more →

It's an interesting though fairly complex idea - I get a bit lost in the details of your writing. In your presentation, try to make it snappy and straight to the point... to make us understand. Who are you working with for the 'pair' version?

@ V N X Y

For the pitching of project ideas, I would like to suggest the following:

1 Personally, I would like to create an interactive installation that explores with the idea of Momento Mori, one that evokes potentially uncomfortable feelings of loss and empathy with the audience.

For the pair work, I would like to create a creative public space that encourages free artists expressions, like a lepak corner for artists to Read more →

Interesting! Who are you presenting with for (2)?

Human Robot Interaction

@ V N X Y

With regards to the works of Professor Louis-Philippe Demers, he explores a lot on the interaction between robots and humans (i.e. Inferno and The Blind Robot). What drives your intentions behind exploring this area?

It in intrigues me because of how people are willingly experiencing these, putting trust to the robots and letting the robots interact with them. To me, Read more →

@ The Anatomy Of Life & Death

For the pitching of ideas, I have come up with two of them below.

For a project with a partner, I would like to curate the world’s largest art fair ever. It will consists of one gallery from each country, yes from each country in the world, all 196 countries. This will be a clash of cultures, ideologies, Read more →

I like it. Who is your collaborator and co-presenter for the mega fair project pitch tomorrow?

@ The Anatomy Of Life & Death

Since this week’s reading is about budget control, i think my questions for Professor Louis-Philippe Demers couldn’t be more relevant.

Does budget ever a problem for you to design and execute your robotics sculptures/artworks?

As I imagined they are very expensive to build as they need very special parts and mechanism, is there a work where you changed some aspect of it to Read more →

Relevant and precise questions - will be interesting to hear LPDs answers..!

Installations Comparison

Kendrameltzer

Tuesday, Feb 23, 2016 - 02:38:23 am

@ KENDRA+MELTZER

There are many different roots one can go when deciding on an installation piece; the artist must come up with theme, location, and objection. He/she must determine the reaction and experience they want their audience to gain from the art piece. Installation art in principal is taking a large area and changing its perspective by filling it with art that Read more →

Hej kendra, I'm not 100% sure which projects you refer to, can you add links to the original posts on OSS of the two projects? It's nice that you point out that both installations deal with rain and by extension the outdoor environment, while being indoor experiences. As a creative-mental exercise (!), can you imagine what the inverse might be? an indoor experience taking place outdoors….. Details, I'm curious: Can you explain what you mean by "objection" that the artist comes up with? Also, I think I grasp "control their own root" but can you fill out the details? What is happening in the installation, how are people controlling something, and what might be their reaction? In terms of project management, which project do you think is more complex? more expensive?
This is a good comparison because the two projects are bringing up the theme "weather". However, there should be a comparison between cost, time spent one planning, executing and the size of the space. A good planning should take the above-mentioned into consideration. However, I think the Rain Room might have taken more time when it comes to installation. The artist uses the strings as the element, seems like it needs a lot of time to install. For the budget aspect, I guess The weather project has spent more than the Rain Room. It uses monofrequency lights, projection foil, haze machines, mirror foil, aluminium, and scaffolding. The technology needs maintenance, hence it's it might be more costy.
Good points, and justification for the assumption of higher costs for Rain Room due to the specialised equipment, which is relevant both for acquisition (or rental) and maintenance during an exhibition.
Hi Kendra, I agree with the comparison that you brought up in your post. However, the comparison about project planning might be lacking in your post. I think i agree with Permagnus' that there needs to be more comparison in terms of the details in planning and budget. it'll be good if you provide more information or links to the project.
Well, I feel art installations is about changing the visitors experience and of course you're right, changing the perspective as well. I feel the comparison is quite limited here however I do agree that art installations in general have to consider when there is no one in there or whenever there is people. It changes the meaning of the work as well.
