===='''25-02-24 -  ONGOING TRANSFORMATIONS/DEVELOPMENTS (2)'''====
I am tinkering with two new possibilities, along the first two main pieces that I described in the previous paragraph.


- bringing in the essayistic, text-centered part- consisting of research notes, speculations that I am currently producing on the side - as a standalone element in the final grad installation. I envision it as a fragmented moving text on a screen, unfolding through a scrolling movement, both vertically and horizontally. I asked my dad to film his eye from upclose, in front of a mirror, with his smartphone, staring at the camera. I did the same. This footage will be on the background of the text; our eyes will alternate, along with our words and reflections.
===<big>'''CHAPTER 4: ''(OUTRO)'''''</big>===
It will be a complementary, mirror text to ''INTRO'', an attempt at recapping the work made and reflecting on its achievements and failures, its discoveries and future trajectories. Also, a more detailed description of the form that this project will take in the graduation show - as of April 2024. 1000 words?


- in relation to the statues' lost eyes, and to the reflections on my personal possibility of going blind, bring in as a 3D-printed object the image of one of the most advanced sensors for retinal implant that I have come across in my research (NanoRetina NR600). Based on the only two images I have found of it, I intend to make a 3d model of it and print it. As it is a very small object, I have been suggested by the assistant at the 3D Printing station to first try printing it bigger and then progressively smaller until the "resolution" of the printer is able to render its shape and details. I find this very interesting, and I might want to show the whole series of prints - from a relatively big and detailed one to a tiny chunk of molded plastic. Again, a process of degradation of an eye, of losing resolution - but, paradoxically, the more it loses detail, the more it gets to the actual dimensions of the object, those that allow it to actually work.

I still - and maybe even more now -  envision this project to take the form of a constellation of several - relatively - small, simple pieces, different in forms and media, yet addressing, and outlining, from different angles the research field that I have been progressively acknowledging as the core of my practice as an artist.

KEEP ON ANNOTATING THE PROGRESS OF MY WORK. USE WRITING PRACTICE TO RESPOND TO CHALLENGES THAT I AM FACING AND TO MAKE MORE CLEAR MY POSITION AND INTENTIONS. probably 2 more iterations - mid march? beginning of april?

CHAPTER 4: (OUTRO)

It will be a complementary, mirror text to INTRO, an attempt at recapping the work made and reflecting on its achievements and failures, its discoveries and future trajectories. Also, a more detailed description of the form that this project will take in the graduation show - as of April 2024. 1000 words?
