Form & Visualization | Project 1 : Pandora Visited Gallery

pandora visted gallery 

As we ushered in the new semester, we were pleasantly greeted by the reappearance of the Pandora Box. For this particular project, we were tasked to create modules based on the words drawn from the Pandora Box. The words drawn were – Bend, Array & Pinch.

Definition of the drawn words

Bend |  Apply force onto a straight object to create an angle or curve.

Array | An ordered series or arrangement along an arc.

Pinch | A grip of a flexible object in which a portion is taken between two fingers.

Experimental Interaction | Research : Summary of Open Source Culture

So, what sparked the creation of Open Source? 

With the introduction of proprietary or closed source, which follows the monetisation model of catering to the consumer’s request and preference for a given price, the software’s publisher retains the intellectual property rights (copyright of the source code) and poses major restrictions including the inability to allow modifications and redistribution of the software, unless an exchange of monetary was made. 

In response, Richard Stallman said

My project is to make all softwares free.

Thereby, the introduction of Open Source software.

Poetics of Time | For this final project, we were given the freedom to create an encounter that expresses either one of the categories of time. For me, I chose measured time, also known as actual or clock time. Besides, I also chose to do  installation art for a change.

C O N C E P T

It took me a really long while to decide on what I wanted to portray for this particular project but I eventually settled for what I would normally call a deep and poetic installation art. Indeed, I took the theme of the project – Poetics of Time, to a literal manner where I wanted to portray the meaning of time to me in a poetic manner.

4D | Project 4 : Poetics of Time [Research]

This is a research post in relation to the upcoming project – poetics of time, where as the title states, a project that centers around the idea of time and space.

Categories of Time

Measured Time

Also known as clock time, is time quantitatively measured by regularly recurring events of intervals.

Linear Time Circular Time 
There is a beginning (the past), present (current) and an end (the future). A repeating process that creates continuous and infinite outcomes.
Experienced Time Also known as perceived time, is the perception of time passing influenced by the psychological disposition and attention of the individual.
Edited Time  is time that has been cut up and rearranged.

Linear Time Non-Linear Time
Where time is mapped out in chronological order (past, present and future). Where time is not mapped out in chronological order.

Example: Montage & Time-lapse Photography
Biological Time Is the measure of time relating to bodily functions, such as when we feel awake, tired or hungry.

4D | Project 3 : Impossibilities of Being [Final]

A balloon is a flexible bag made from materials such as rubber and/or latex that can be inflated with helium, air or even water. Commonly given for special occasions, balloons are used for decorative and/or entertainment purposes.

There isn’t a specific reason as to why I chose the inside of a balloon as the space I would like to be in. In fact, it was a pretty random thought that hit me as I walked past a group of kids with varying coloured balloons tied to their wrist.

Regardless of age, balloons have this special effect on people where being given a balloon, one’s mood will instantly be lifted. It then occured to me how under-appreciated balloons are and I figured that it would be interesting to have a different view or perspective of the same surrounding but a different space.
