The One With The Imperfect Pitch Part 2

Conceptualising ideas quickly usually has its drawback, they are quick, lazy and lack substance. But I am going to try one anyway.

  1. To create an interactive sound scape installation that explores the issue of construction. This installation will made up of objects related to construction, that will produce abstract sound, based on data related to figures and numbers on the topic of construction.

  2.  To renovate and refurbish the old Tanjong Pagar Railway Station and turn it into a museum of contemporary art. Keeping the exterior and interior design intact, modern renovation will make this place one of the top art museum in the region.TheTrip1
  3. To produce, write and direct a short art film related to the issue of birth and death. This experimental art film will take place inside a human body. Working with resources from the school will only require us to spend money on props.

The application is not really user friendly i guess. I given up as it is really complicated to use this software to come up with a work task. I probably do it much faster on a piece of paper. But I can understand how hard for project managers to plan schedule for a project.

The One With The Pitching of Ideas

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

armory

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, art and many more! Way larger than Art Basel and all the other biennale combine.

For a project with myself, I would like to come up with an outdoor interactive art installation exploring the issue of construction and progression. It will be a though provoking installation that will question the role of our nation builders.

The One With The Processing Plant

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 fit in the budget that you have?

Furthermore, do you think budget should ever be a problem for us students? Do working with budget constraints only push our creativity to the maximum?

I would also like to argue that working with budget constraints is a very important issue as we will not be able to make our idea a vision if we have no money to buy materials. So when this happens, our ideas shift towards a different direction to cater to our budget instead. How do we deal with this problems as a student?

inferno

If there is a specific work I have to ask question for, it would be the recent Inferno. How does working alone and working with a partner different? Does a clash of ideas always happen and how did you and bill manage to finalise on an idea?

The One With The Questions on Karst

A very clever use of visuals and human conversation to tell a story. It makes me wonder whether those people who build the house is also hard as Karst. Here are my questions.

Is there any issues in terms of environmental in building a home in the middle of an undisturbed landscape?

Are the workers building the house from Montenegro or Goran Andrejin always use the people he worked with before?

Do you consider this documentary an important piece of history captured in film?VillaLaTout_01

The house is really beautiful. However, i feel the shape of the house does not fit in with the landscape. The contrast is quite beautiful actually but was this an issue when the architect was considering the design?

Did the design of the house comes first or the location by the owner?

Was the snake issue ever solved?VillaLaTout_07

The music that the little boy was playing and singing on ‘the bulgarian princess’  was juxtapose with the sound of rocks falling and people working. Was this juxtaposing of sound of leisure and work a concept you wished to point out?

The Jankovic family worked together as a family in making the rocks into the building material. Is this a family that passes their craftsmanship to the next generation?

The relationship between the architect and the client is very mutual and they treat each other like family. Was this highlighting of their relationship intentional and is there a message behind thisVillaLaTout_08

Was this film made in perspective of the client or a perspective of an outsider or a perspective of the wind?

How do you plan what kind of contents to shoot?

Do you think people behave differently when they are being recorded and not being recordedVLT01

Here’s 12 questions for vlada.

 

The One With The Execute

During the ideation and conceptual process, executing it is part of my thinking process as well.

As a realist, I keep these few things in consideration, is the idea feasible in term of execution, do I have the skills set to execute this successfully and is the financial status allows it.

Sometimes this is bad because it means that I am always in my comfort zone but that’s another post for us to talk about.
