WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Thesis Research

Thesis

Graduation Project

Eigengrau

How does the concept relates to the original Phantasmagorias?

Historical reenactment
Using the same tools - dark room and not showing the machine behind the magic
Using dark feelings of telling a story
Both phenomenas were presented in the entertainment environment – using the club context as experimentation field

How does it relates to publishing?

Publishing = presenting a story to the audience
New way of storytelling through creating atmospheres through light and sound

Why is it worth to make it public?

Using fear and manipulation and mystery to bound people
Through collective experience the audiences learns about the senses and new body awareness - seance holding each others hands

How can I create a public around it?

Using the club location as experimentation field - presenting in that context
Hybrid audience
Changing the perception
Experimenting with the space
Event in end of January 2019 - first testing of the first part in front of the audience - questionary about their collective experience - formulating my further concept around the answers

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?

Graduation project this year → live generated 3D environments
Creative coding, light - space installations, audiovisual performances delivered from a strong conceptual, technological (software - creative coding) and aesthetic foundation
Wiki structure to use for documenting the process
Using raspberry Pi in forms of installations as well
Creative coding and spatial light design installation
Developing a deeper understanding of sound visualisation
Diving into pure data
The way of thinking in code

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?

establishing my own artistic and design practice after finishing at Piet Zwart Institute → focussing on research and creation of audiovisual light installations with a strong focus on technology, critical thinking and aesthetics
