Graduation Project Proposal Draft: Difference between revisions

Trace, Being, Time and Reality

so far I only reach the point that I have some topic which interested me.

As the development of my dust project, my growing interest towards time, being and reality leading me to a possible project.

absent, noise. trace...

the trace as a evidence of exist. but the object or figure is absent.

notes from steve

trace, figure, remainder, indentation. video with a loose narrative in which you see the trace of the object dissappear. (Cusion blanket, couch, human skin, memory foam, waves and sand) How objects document time.

Sound: 1) Minimal - it is what it is just showing time and objects = how time is recorded by objects 2) google maps - not in china- panoramio (tries to be objective but becomes a weird dream space. How does this relate to the trace = location, emptiness, intention to avoid human presence, produces a different reality.

context= expanded narrative,

(key words those key words below indicate some possible form of technique or aesthetic i will use for my project.

1,fragment, ambiguous

2,perception sensation.

3,lose sense of reality, overload,illusion delusion mediated reality…memories

4,in between(both personal identity & physical location)

5, langue meaning words playing speaking langue as a musical instrument.

my experiment of force to communicate in different langue(in the concision of don't understand each other ) for half an hour. the content and communication sometime fit sometimes totally different. what if own left with physical gesture and face expression. what we can read or understand out of it? what if the meaning of a peaking langue was taken away? we are so rely on the visual and langue. that's the main ability we have to perceive the world. if we under a condition that no long could rely those sense. then what will happened? the world will be different?)

Introduction

A general introduction laying out your plan for your final project.

Be as specific as possible about the form you imagine the graduate project to take.

Describe the field you wish to research.

Identify key questions driving what you want to explore and how you will test these questions through practice.

Relation to previous practice

How does your research connect to previous projects you have done? Remember to briefly explain or describe related projects as the external is not familiar with your work.

It is useful to address the points raised by tutors in the feedback from your Self-assessment at the end of trimester 3 and to draw on your 'essay on method' written in trimester 3.

Relation to a larger context

Practical steps

(((((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

(in order to keep it in mind, i will delete the text below after the my definite project proposal draft)

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

Feel free to include any visual material to substantiate, illustrate or elucidate your proposal. For example use images to reference your work or that of others.

 == Relation to a larger context ==
-Meaning practices or ideas that go beyond the scope of your personal work.  Write briefly about other projects or theoretical material which share an affinity with your project.  For example, if you are researching urban interventions, you might talk about Situationist approaches to psychogeography, urban tactical media and activist strategies of reclaiming the streets.  Or, if you want to explore the way data is tracked, you might touch upon the politics of data mining by referencing concerns laid out by the Electronic Frontier or highlight theoretical questions raised by Wendy Chun or others.  (Keep in mind that we are *not* expecting well formulated conclusions or persuasive arguments in the proposal phase.  At this juncture, it's simply about showing an awareness of a broader context, which you will later build upon as your research progresses.)
-my experiment of  force to communicate in different langue(in the concision of don't understand each other ) for half an hour. the content and communication sometime fit sometimes totally different.
-what if own left with physical gesture and face expression. what we can read or understand out of it?
-what if the meaning of a peaking langue was taken away? we are so rely on the visual and langue. that's the main ability we have to perceive the world.
-if we under a condition that no long could rely those sense. then what will happened? the world will be different?
-'''about imaginative reality,,'''
-one of my favourite writer Shen Congwen,
-his fiction story about his hometown fenghuang county.. while he write the book, he is living in beijing. all the characters stories was built upon his memory..
-when he went back to his hometown once. he relies the town is totally different than the town in his memory.
-questions:
-how our memory filter reality..
-how to create a new world basic on the real.
-this could link back to facing mediated reality today.
-(i been away from my home country for one year.
-in nether land i consider myself as a stranger outsider observer.
-my home and root is somewhere else..however when being away for real long time. all the people i use to know is changing in real world. however in my brain they frozen as the moment i left..
-i imagine if i go back to china to my city to my family to my friend.
-i will have huge impact to sense the different, may be to them i am a stranger too.
-i am afraid eventually i will end up nowhere,
-belongs to nowhere, i believe that's a result of living in between/)
-'''media i will choice'''
-image and sound.(film media?)
-light and shadow small physical material(dust?)
-visual dairy(book of documentation of transfer physical material and image into sound and the story of the material and image)
-date 9.24
-there are two ways of methodologies of producing work.
-one is start from my intuitive image making process, following by why i like to produce this kinds of image.
-anther is start from conceptual idea. followed by why i have this feeling or why this topic is important for me? how i can interpret this conceptual idea into a project?
-of course this two kind of approach could integrated into each other.
-my current plan is to start from both side and develop series works and prototypes. and let they develop, see what will happens.
-steps of my practise:(things i want to do before i made my finnal decision for my graduation project)
-一，
-i want to document the sonification process of  small physical materials. preferably, half transparent small. complex texture. and where it come from. the story behind it..
-to see how it develop from small to larger scale and back to the original intention of my experiment....
-books of sound image and text. chinese and english version..
-may be these series of experiment will fit together for one show,,as a show room or installation.
-二，
-experiment of speaking langue:
-sound overlapping,,,communication given to a place that each individual not able to understand each other..
-however force to keep up with this non-communicative communication..
-see what happens when a langue turned into a vocal rhythm and musical structure, could be video performance, online interactive audiovisual piece..
-三，	keep going with the half finished project..
-the tap texture..bubble....dust
-consider tap is my instrument...material is my instrument as a tool also as musical instrument... including to my hand book. afterwards developed as a series of  audiovisual performance..
-四，video
-film,,, a story of perception..mix reality..around 20 mins.
-follow by the sound and vocal monolog.
-abandon place. you are not here but your sound are..
-stories are... but you are not...
-where are you? where is my position.. mix reality...
-五，
-visual music format,
-sound vibration  of small particle and reflect on film media..
-using contact print technique. visualised the sound.
-and the sound content the story.
-(also could fit into 四）
-六 using digital projector to project image on the surface of water with dust mixed inside using vibration of speak to shoot blurry image with vibrated dust at the same time.. visualised the sound combined with the image..
-5890 miles
-IMAGINATIVE HOMELAND
-time faster faster
-let me running to find the coordinate
-Horizontal axis will be my shelter vertical axis will be my words
-together built the dimension of my homeland no one could invade.
