This post is to make preparations for mid semester presentation as well as to pin down my overall concept
What is my overall concept?
To recreate a series of sculptures of marine creatures that are extinct due to Anthropocene
Purpose Of This Project
Create conversations on Anthropocene
Process
Step One: Surveying – Surveying people to get their “hear say”
(Acts as information passed down from now till 100 years later)
Step Two: Compiling – Categorised into Physical appearance, Movement, Behaviour and Information
Step Three: Genesis (Focus of the project) – Frame work to generate the creature
Step Four : Constructing (Focus of the project)
Critical analysis
Why Works By Bob Potts
- Movements in nature are created mechanically
- Able to reference some of the mechanics he use to make my sculptures
Title: Ascension
Title: Cosmographic Voyage
Title: Pursuit 2
Title: Denizen of the Deep
Why Works By U-Ram Choe
- Sculptures look alive
- Material and mechanics reference for the behaviour
