Weaving between spaces where there is no light, no sound and no movement, it survives only by the insides and the outsides, the middles and the ends. Understand, it exists in the boundaries and edges you simplify, believing the names of things you perceive, hear, smell, taste and feel. It throbs inside bare life and […]
Today I showed my video work in the form it is in so far – monochrome, edited with a soundtrack and focused on listing the fence. The major feedback I had from those in class was including a running commentary on the ideals of the fence, without of course, having to explain everything to the […]
Before I begin my script writing for my final work, I began narrowing down key quotes that appealed to me and the subject of boundaries. Looking to these for inspiration, these parts aim to highlight a key concept or issue that can be related in my media-making, particularly in the groups I have broken them […]
Last Friday I presented my current ‘On The Fence’ project. Explaining my direction so far, there were a few takeaways from both the panel, Adrian and my peers that I noted. These points include: Considering the platform I present it on. Considering the relationship between the shots. Considering the use of subtitles by their position. […]
What To List With unforgiving creative block, I spent most of the weekend contemplating on my media thing. Too consumed by the vision of what to film, I realised I had created boundaries that constricted what was being asked of me, hindering and stopping the flow of how initiating ideas with creativity. Staring out the […]
From what I understand and know, I’m a visual learner. You could dictate to me a thousand times the process of something, but unless I see it being executed or put it to paper, the chances are I’ll forget. In the beginning of trying to understand why and how ontographs exist, I was very caught […]
Rolling on over to the corner of the room, we started our studio in an obscure little circle. With Adrian situated in the middle we chatted about our week, talking about casual work, contemplating and juggling weekly tasks. Planning through the next couple of weeks it was my task to be the first Reflector, which in […]
Pinning our drafted ontographs around the room, there were two things apparent: 1.) Oh boy, are they all so different. 2.) Wow, mine is incredibly illegible in it’s relations. As each person gave a quick explanation on their work and media artifact, each poster began changing into a cohesive and complicated map of connections, relations […]
If ‘all things equally exist‘, why is it that ‘they do not exist equally‘? We began by listing our perceptions and at it’s simplest, what we truly noticed. Individually, everyone was different in what they observed, articulating their mornings, dislikes and views in a list format happily at the class. It came apparent quite quickly, […]
Our studio began with I, a list of questions. At first glance, they all assumed it was simple, that what I was asking was a matter of their own perspective. ‘What do we know? What don’t we know?’ A little hesitant, everyone twitched in their places, reflecting back to the reading and admitting the context […]
