| Remember this can change as your research evolves - also keep in mind that the title of your research does not have to be the eventual title of your exhibited final project.

|
| Looking back at my work from the first year I see two ways I could go with my graduation project.
| | [[User:Yoana Buzova/ archive| archive ]] |
| | |
| DIY culture / industrialization / false consciousness / criticism ---> related to my DIY kit, allowing the purchaser to create fake proof/documentation of DIY work in progress he/she has executed.
| |
| | |
| Installation/ Object -----> related to my self-directed research. Taking one set of symbols and transforming it to another. Work with sound, use image as a starting point?
| |
| | |
| Both are connected trough my practice in the way that I like do my things myself, especially tangible work.
| |
| | |
| ===Key Words / themes===
| |
| | |
| Fascination for making objects
| |
| | |
| using, mixing / commonplace objects
| |
| | |
| practice-based research
| |
| | |
| Tangible
| |
| | |
| Encoding – Decoding / reinterpreting
| |
| | |
| Translating and transporting information / taking it from one domain to another, from one place to another
| |
| | |
| Compressing - Decompressing
| |
| | |
| Scaling – Descaling
| |
| | |
| environmental sound
| |
| | |
| DIY strategies
| |

| False consciousness
| |
|
| |
| ===form:===
| |
| | |
| Urban spaces /installation/
| |
| | |
| working with material
| |
| | |
| object - image – sound – environment
| |
| | |
| possible outcome: I am sure that i want a tangible outcome - building an object as a result of my research.
| |
| | |
| Bold or even unrealistic may be a combination with an online part of the project( dynamic database, live stream content or content fed by users)
| |
| | |
| ===questions:===
| |
| | |
| exploring, experiencing information from a source different than a computer / a custom, unfamiliar object
| |
| | |
| preserving information in another form ( what happens when data is suddenly gone)
| |
| | |
| DIY / instant / ready-made / fake / cheesy / romantic / false consciousness
| |
| | |
| == Relation to previous practice ==
| |
| | |
| During the past nine months I have been experimenting in different fields, using different approaches and tools. I made a few small projects in which explored different areas of interest and different methods.
| |
| | |
| I have mainly been working in the model of practice-based research.
| |
| In the second trimester I started my self-direction project, provoked by the subject of signals and code. My approach was towards encoding and decoding simple urban patterns I collected. I photographed streets at night and then taking them as input, I created a visual code from the lit house windows. The code I played on a music box i built myself. The result are minimal, generative compositions of urban activity.
| |
| I took information of a large scale ( whole streets and their buildings) to reinterpret it and notably descale it into a gentle sound, coming from a small mechanical object.
| |
| | |
| As a continuation of the project and aiming to close the loop I started, I built a discrete but resistant urban installation, aiming to bring the data I processed back to its place of origin – the streets. The melodies are looped in speakers, made of concrete, placed in the city. The speakers, in contrast to the music box are resistant, heavy and keep repeating the otherwise transient moments.
| |
| This iteration where the translated gentle, almost fragile information (composition) is distributed and preserved was the endpoint of the project and made it a complete piece.
| |
| | |
| Relation of my interest to my previous work described above - ----> This work deals with processes of encoding and decoding and translation of data. It encloses information into tangible objects.
| |
| Maybe as an unconscious result of my BA studies in photography, I take the position of a viewer, I collect data and use it examine and explore later so it can be the starting point of my work.
| |
| Work is created during exploring diy strategies, conceptually and physically contrast/different materials and techniques.
| |
| | |
| | |
| fast prototyping with laser cutting....slow prototyping with concrete
| |
| | |
| == Relation to a larger context ==
| |
| | |
| Situationist approaches to psychogeography, urban tactical media and activist strategies of reclaiming the streets.

| Describe how you will go about conducting your research through reading, writing and practice. In other words, through a combination of these approaches, you will explore questions or interests you have laid out in your general introduction. In this section you can help us understand how your project will come together on a practical level and talk about possible outcome(s). Of course, the outcome(s) may change as your research evolves, but it's important to have some idea of how your project might come together as a whole.

| == References ==
| |
| | |
| A list of references (Remember that dictionaries, encyclopedias and wikipedia are not references to be listed. These are starting points which should lead to more substantial texts and practices.) As with your previous essays, the references need to be formatted according to the Harvard method.) See: http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/A_Guide_to_Essay_Writing#The_Harvard_System_of_referencing
