Research
Experiment
During the week, I went to ECA and travelled to London College Of Art to view their BA graduation exhibitions. I organised and mused on the works that inspired me(#1). (🔗CLICK HERE to see my record)
In addition to this part of the visiting, I continued to build on last week's summary, exploring the possibilities of the forms and the visual messages I may could convey(#2), aided by deeper references.
And I start to think about the medium possibilities for this project to use(#3).
Last Week Tutor‘s Feedback
-
1. Continue to try to explore the ways in which forms can be used, their functions and meanings; is it possible that forms are not used for answering, but as a tool for asking questions?
Ref:
William S. Burroughs splicing together the contents of different articles to form new utterances (the semantics will become random, but under the randomness new associations can collide)
2. Rethinking the masking approach in Attempt4, how is it masked? What content should be masked? Does masking with symbols, pattern of a different character, have different meanings?
Ref:

3. Trying to combine COVER with CONNECTION in Attempt 4?
Each linking point can have an answer.
Appearance vs. connotation, linking vs. choosing.
I set for few questions to observe and extract dif groups of people’s perspectives about VOID AND CHOICE.
Through this to set the content in the code language, simulate a solution and use for my design attempt above.
- What’s your method to aviod inner void?
- If you have, where does this tension of your emptiness come from?
- Do you usually force yourself to implode? Will you ask for yourself “is this is meaningful?” before you start to plan/do something?
- What kind of things are meaningful?
- How do you usually make your "choices"?
By using note stickers
I organised the collected responses into short sentences, used the masking method of the previous attempts to leave initials, and experimented with a visual combination of physical post-it notes and notebooks.
Notebooks, like answer sheets and forms, are a medium with the nature of a grid system, and post-it notes resemble small grids with their own borders, limiting the scope of the text.
