WHAT HAVE I DONE?


Thesis Research


Thesis


Graduation Project

How does the concept relates to the original Phantasmagorias?
How does it relates to publishing?
Why is it worth to make it public?
How can I create a public around it?


Prototyping


WHAT HAVE I LEARNED?


  • Prototyping
    • Basics into Arduino / Processing / MadMapper
    • The importance of the right hardware
    • Finding a good prototyping working method → Dark Lab in the basement
    • Reflects always on the experiments and try to find new solutions
    • Trust in failures → gives new ways of critical thinking
    • Take time to experience the experiments → look from different angles
    • One experiment leads to the next experiment → you can't jump a few steps ahead
    • Having discipline for learning new programming languages and hardware


  • Thesis
    • How to do a theoretical research?
    • Where to find trustworthy sources?
    • How to use the Harvard annotation method?
    • How to stay focussed while writing (switching off the internet)
    • How to draw conclusion and compare different opinions
    • How to find the core essence of the text


  • Concept
    • Don't make overambitious plans, that you're not capable to realise due technical, practical and financial issues
    • Don't combine too many references together
    • Stay sharp to yourself and ask the critical questions
    • Finding a good link of combining the research + concept with the prototyping to crystallise the story
    • Trust your first intuition during the conceptualisation phase of the project
    • Better time planning (calendar) of the project - to do lists


WHAT DID I ACHIEVED FROM MY 1ST + 2ND + 3RD TRIMESTER WISHLIST?

WHERE DO I WANT TO GO?

  • learning more how to think in code and realise my ideas
  • Developing a deeper understanding of sound visualisation
  • learning pure data + GEM (Graphics Environment for Multimedia (external plugin))
  • creating audiovisual light installations

WHY?

  • graduation project next year → live generated 3D environments ↔ audio visualisation (sound = data → data visualisation)
  • creative coding, light - space installations, audiovisual performances delivered from a strong conceptual and technical (software - creative coding) foundation
