Introduction

When I started thinking the topic of the graduation project, I traced back to my old works before I came to PZI, most of them are illustrations. Then I realised in these drawings, little people or giants, the comparison of the scale between human and other species took a large part. Surely "scale" is an effective factor in different kinds of artwork, especially in illustrations and sculptures, I still wanted to dig out what is the point attracting me so much. After the research for EMO ( Giants and Little People http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/User:Chen_Junyu/graduation/theise/project_proposal/Draft:EMO and a rough study on Fairytale http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/User:Chen_Junyu/graduation/theise/project_proposal/EMO), I have moved slightly further with the word "Scale". Since we born in this world, the scale of the world for us is always changing, it changes with the grow and shrink of our physical body, also relies on the understanding or emotion to the world. And generally we stand only at the human being's point of view, the world which is heard and seen by other species, is mostly "inexistent" for us (we know it is existent, but we don't feel it is existent normally). So what I want to do for this project is to push ourselves to a fairytale view of seeing the world.

Relation to previous practice

Relation to a larger context

Practical steps

In order( at least for now):

Working on prototypes for sound/visual, collect and analyse attractive installations，add--reduce.
Reading and reading. ( Virtual art -- the illusion to immersion and something else..)

Sound

Jez Riley French－－ Audible Silence

A sound artist who has spent most of his live on listening to environments. He recorded a lot of sound from small creatures, such as bees and ants, also creatures in sea such as periwinkles eating sea grass.
