PLAN

for the past months interaction between human and machine is the common thread.

1]what why and how on three projects

2]explain current project.

3] speculate on what might lie --



The Type Up



TGC #3

Through the exploration of movement on specific spaces, this body [possibly use different word (project?) or simply use project name K] analyses how we humans become an extension of technology, being capable to adapt ourselves in complete new immaterial environments. It uses a sensor (called "optical flow") which detects motion between frames, using video input from a webcam. This movement is detected in form of numerical values, which are automatically sent to a music programming software called "Puredata". This software, reads and formats this data inside a graphic array, finally activating a series of oscillators that generate audio. This work aims to creates a connection between man and machine, causing the body and the senses to become a functional gadget beyond given nature. [what are the dimensions of your work? where can you find it? K]

Website

This is a current work-in-process which will showcase a selection of the most relevant projects, collaborations, volunteer experiences or social causes in which I AND MY WORK, have been involved throughout my experience as visual designer. It is the 'never-ending' project (due to its updating) which defines the qualities of my work, my person itself, my expertise and possibly my future intentions.
This is a current work-in-process which will showcase a selection of [my] most relevant projects, collaborations, volunteer experiences or social causes in which [shaped?] my experience as [a] visual designer. It is [a] 'never-ending' project (due to its updating) which defines the qualities of my work, my[self], my expertise and possibly my future intentions.

Similarities

These are two code-based projects which requires both knowledge in html / css coding languages, and audio programming. It is a level up [challenging] and a positive [encouraging] field shift considering the technical differences between traditional printed matter (or graphic design) and digital prototyping.

Help

Indeed [can remove 'indeed' and start with 'my background'] my background as graphic designer has been recently loaded with tones of new learning since I first began to study this master. This has broaden [It broadened] the working possibilities, but also a possible network of people with different skills that can strengthen ones work and therefore influence to achieve better results. On one hand, my tutors Michael and Aymeric and also [students such as] Max can be very helpful with coding practices. On the other hand, digital platforms such as "code academy", "devdocs" or "w3schools" among others, can also be very useful tools for learning. Moreover, Steve can help in describing/giving sense to my work's content. [explain specifically HOW can they help you? describe what help you might need]

Differences

A website is a digital space, which aims to publish specific material or information, sometimes in form of work of art, literature, moving image, etc. In my case, it works as a portfolio or digital container, which describes work properties, and defines the qualities, skills or expertise of the designer. Oppositely, Despite the TGC #3 is also a publication that showcases different works, it acts as a physical container, which works as a "demo" exploring on experimental notations. [describe the similarities / differences from the audiences point of view too - how do they interact with your work?]

Future work

As mentioned, the work I want and need to make is my website. [maybe a little too casual. try something like: For my future work I would like to concentrate on building my website.] In order to do so, I will properly document and digitally archive all the produced material. I will need to further improve and re-write the work content of some of the work, this means; re-print and prototype.
