DRAFT

This page is under construction
This post covers the overarching concept of the trimester One(1) contemporary art project


   

• What do you want to do?

You will need to outline your ideas, inspiration, sources and references. Start to build up a bibliography of books (artists, writers) that support your ideas or are in some way linked to your work.

outline your ideas

During trimester 1 2017 the intention is to explore the capacity for New Media to express abstract concepts throught the cross polination of the physical, the digital and the spiritual.
 This exploration stems from an interest of where technology sits within the context of the tradition church, religion and spirituality.

 inspiration

To date there has been limited embracing of New Media technologies. Particularly in the expression and outworking of the church.

 Areas of research, sources and references
Particular focus will be on exploring:

• Tongues
• Claritas
• Institutional critique
• Spritiual warfare
• Iconography
• Christian Identity in contemporary society
• Core biblical belief surrounding the relationship of body and soul

.

• How do you plan to go about it?

Through a series of art projects, New Media techniques will be explored to express abstract concepts. The following are the areas of New Media exploration:

• Subconsious response to sounds
• Writing to color, color to sound
• Zoetrope, Physical 3D animation
• Holographic interation with the physical
• Augmented reality - GOMA hijacking
• Voice to tongues translation
• AR- Markers - Text and testimony

The following is an explanation of the above:
Subconsious response to sounds
Conceptual focus:
Proposed artwork:
two key components, spacial sound saturation with alpha sounds waves, and VR headset with theta sounds waves and tongues. The idea here is that the participant and artwork are in a room which is saturated with alpha wave ossilations. They are to put on the VR headset and headphones which are playing theta wave ossilations. The two are dramatically different in subconsious effect, and effect the participants with varying degrees of success depending on their biochemestry. Theta waves are designed for setting the listening into a deeper state for meditations and spiritual connection. Accompanied with pentecostal tongues and prayer, which is considered the divine language. This artwork is intended to be purely experiential, being a likely first contact point with the divine for the participant.
Materials and process:
Mobile phone, VR headset with headphones

Writing to color, color to sound

Conceptual focus:
Proposed artwork:
Keyboard and screen with a mounted mobile phone facing it. The participant can press the keys on the keyboard which will alter the color of the screen. The eyeborg/phone converts the color of the screen to sound.
Materials and process:

Mobile phone with eyeborg installed, laptop or tablet with full size keyboard

Zoetrope , Physical 3D animation
Conceptual focus:
Proposed artwork:
A human form made of wire, with a zoetope animation of a human figure trying to escape.
A zoetrope function by having a series of animations spinning rapidly and strobe light creates the illusion of animation. Unfortunately the strobe will potential be an OH&S issue
Materials and process:
Wire human form or cage, 3d forms in animation sequence on rotating plinth

Holographic interation with the physical
Conceptual focus:
Proposed artwork:
Steming from the Exploration of claritas during 2016, this project is a continuation of visualising the soul.
Materials and process:

Augmented reality - GOMA hijacking
Conceptual focus:
Proposed artwork:
Institutional critique and spiritual warefare
Materials and process:

Voice to tongues translator ?
Conceptual focus:
Proposed artwork:
Materials and process:

Augmented reality/barcode scanning - testimony of christians on AR-markers ?
Conceptual focus:
Proposed artwork:
Discussion of what is the sum of our identity in the digital age
Materials and process:
Tablet, web based app, printed AR-markers
