Foundation 4D 2 – G3

After discussions, we came up with a few potential themes about global warming for our project, and decided on a few types of sounds:

Fire and water – coal and water sizzling Fire and Air – Water and air – bubbling sound Earth and Water – squishy, sticks and mud (melting of ice caps) Earth and Fire – burning sound (deforestation/burning fossil fuels) Earth and Air Read more →

So our group decided on some potential themes, namely Global Warming. We thought of using the sounds of the natural elements and associate them with global warming

Fire and water – coal and water sizzling

Water and air – bubbling sound

Earth and Water – blurping, squishy, sticks and mud (melting of ice caps)

Earth and Fire – burning sound (deforestation/burning fossil fuels)

Earth and Read more →

Project 2 was a truly memorable project for me as I got to work with my friends and we created art in the most interesting setting… the toilet.

For this group project, we were tasked to find everyday objects in school to use as our sound installation, creating an experience and conveying ideas through sounds.

To crf to Calista’s post for secondary research:

To test out our project, we did a dry run and fine-tuned some details.

In order to solve some of the possible issues we came up with (as mentioned in Calista’s post), we decided to create a sample score for the class so that they have an idea of how to create sounds Read more →

Inspired by Mona Hatoum’s works that altered furniture  (and the experience of my friend Dawin, Who’s been having trouble sleeping in hall).

A bed should be a place where an individual finds comfort. It should be safe, warm and cozy. This bed is anything but.

Artists’ Statement Toilets are a shared space amongst people from all walks of life; and within these space are more often than not, unspoken rules for people to follow. Flush the toilet after using, use only what you must. ‘Toilets: Our Shared Read more →

After my first project, I knew for my 2nd project that I wanted to do something which immersive. So, I then went to search for immersive sound installations.

The most immersive experience might probably be the Hypercube where the audience enter a cube-shaped room. Through the use of light, Read more →

For this project, I wanted to merge both my 3D and 4D briefs together. I asked Prof Michael (4D) and Prof Peter (3D) if I could do it and they gave me their permission.

The aboves (link and image) are the briefs for my 4D and 3D respectively. For 3D, Prof Peter assigned each of his students a word, and Read more →

Before arriving to the final set-up, there were some variations which were tested.

The first variation I did was to just use blank papers to have an idea how the installation would look like.

Then I needed to test the distance between each layer so that the overwhelming effect could be achieved.

After go through the above 2 criteria, I started to hang Read more →
