We’ve been asked to compile a self portrait made up of a variety of mediums. The catch (like the one below) is to do it without explicitly providing an image of ourself. I suppose the idea behind this is that a person’s identity online can be vastly different to their identity in real life. I guess it’s just a chance to be weird and creative too. Which is always fun.
It will be a challenge capturing character traits, but it will test our ability to think outside the box. My music background says the audio clips should be my strong points, but I can almost guarantee these will be the most difficult of the lot. Some serious thinking will be required for sure. My early ideas include recording a rehearsal, recording a commute to uni, or recording some piano. These are all things that audibly represent my day to day activities and hint at my character build up. But, they aren’t the most original… Visually, I might literally use some smoke and mirrors to capture some mind-boggling scenes. Who says I can’t be a magician? I just hope I don’t lose my mind over it.
