Research Process - PG01-10 (22 Nov 2011)


Continuation of presentation  of Manifestos
-------------------------------------------------------

- interesting ways of presentation from last week

There is about you an ability/a purpose – Daero
Juan was looking beyond the obvious
Sense of rock solid purpose
Perception of way Daero stood, spoke, confident.

Mark – This is the book I am going to Film

Everyone should have the equivalent idea of a book they are going to film.

----

Technological determinism – think the world is determined by technology
Everything that matters driven by technology – counter – without technology, nature within a box in a museum.

Live your manifesto
Enjoy saying it

----

BA – Trapped/captured market – can control peoples choices of content
On sealed tube, great for marketing content

----

Antonio Maia
Poster
5 people
Soul slaves, the future
The desert

----

Tent City – St Pauls

----

Poster – yellow, black and white stripes
Do everything more
Dont think anymore
Dont waste more
Unemployment is the holocaust of the century
We shouldn't do that
Avoid everything being communicated in an instant

Poster - slovene
Architecture vision
Conciling Fantasy/Imagination and the Reality
A3 sheet
What am I doing with this.
Studied London Metropolitan – tell you what to think
Rave – tell you to think for yourself
Ravensbourne is not just visual

Simon
Looked at St Pauls, Manifestos
I want 3D TV for you poster, based on US Uncle Bill poster
Drama
No plans for a dedicated 3D channel
Now have the technology, not much more expensive
Political reason, why they are not allowing us to view 3D
US army is using 3D images, simulation of a real life experience
Television drama in 3D, feeling, immersion
Would sex and violence be uncomfortable
Red/Green overprinting
Alot of research comes from the miliatary
Doesnt want to see 3D in drama – from audience, trick, should forget it is 3D
News in 3D
Better retention, richer experience
Glasses create a layer for what you are watching
How far from 3D that does not require glasses, 2 to 3 years away
Huge debate – immersiveness
Marshall mccluhan – hot medium cinema, cold medium TV.
Trying to make television a hot medium...
Use visual metaphors to tell the story
Bringing Sudan into the living room, as immersive as possible
Quality of the speaking, I am intrigued. To desire to enquire.
Agency – Figtree network, great thinkers outside of the box
Look at what everyone else is doing, and do the opposite.
When it becomes more cost effective
Every TV now is 3D enabled
BBC does not have a dedicated 3D channel, has an HD channel
TV industry is driven by the manufacturers, not the broadcasters
Does Accountancy ruin Creativity? Does cost count?

Karel Bata
Stereoscopic 3D media
Manifesto – Purpose, Method
Camera obscura (David Hockney)
Vermeer is more interesting
Perceptual tools, used by the old masters
Same issues coming up with 3D
With 2D photography, a person looks fuller
With 3D photography, a person looks thinner
Comparative study, look at vermeer, how it has been adopted as lenses in 2D and 3D
Are lenses there to make the person more beautiful
Camera can lie about the persons form
Computer models, composition rules
People look more realistic closer up
All representations
What are the questions being asked, life, the universe, and everything, cannot be simplified
'It would be a comparative study of how portrature has been pursued in the various media and how is that perceived'

Christina
black poster
hand – interaction on poster
inviting viewer
letters are like a TV screen
interactive installation is like playground or space
QR tag links to the blog, mobile interaction
dotted line, background
'designed for other IDM people'
reason for the interactions
put people within an immersive space
laboratory-like sense
cold
emotions
one person view, horizon producer, I have made this people for 3 people and you are not one of them.
Why do we need to have fun? We overwork, we need interest, etc?
Need to have fun
Deeply suspicious of the word fun


Animation/Illustration manifesto
Start with sketch, hole cut in paper, with lines leading to the hole cutout.
Travel from one side of the paper into the other side
Hexagon backgrounds
Difference between 2D and 3D
Found as new, random sense of wonder
New angle
'As new' – carries the resonance of a 2
nd hand cooker
Look at miniatures, experiments
Really wierd – British Museum – comments with Juan and Kr
Keep an emotional space
Sense of delight


Sitting Manifesto
Holding poster to the floor
Colour
about how content
I dont really care whether anyone else cares
Chose the picture, inspired by debate
Is it better to travel than arrive
Scene of a purple field with a world
Keep investigating
Keep going
Saying more than words
So much on there
Evolution, looking back at cells, blues and yellows
Yellows moving upwards
We know what the colours mean, but we give new meanings to them
Need air to survive
Meanings attributed to colours
Why do they notice that difference, but we dont.
Re-run the experiment in different colours
Associations with the colour purple, faith systems – Hinduism
Chocolate -like advertising
Chose purple not for psychological emotional reasons, but because it was different
Red, Blue associated with the French revolution
Red – communism/socialism, Blue - conservatism
British army has worn red uniforms since the 17
th century
Armies communicate presence through colour and camouflage
Ideas of Visibility vs Invisibility
Chicago police, 70s – dayglo orange
West German police, green, 80s – question of authority
Belief systems were controlling the colours
Roman centurion – Red cloak
Popular storytellers, dark person black, good person white
emperor wore red.
Manipulating colour assocations to hierarchies of power
Repurposed associations – colour associations through time
Experiment, and do not keep the work so personal
How people perceive colour?

Poster
Tree+Explosion
Visual effects – can support or distort the movie
Thinking about nature
Story of the explosion
Avatar – just visual effects
People can blame the visual effects of a movie
Visual effects is storytelling
Supporting telling a story
'Spectacular' used instead of describing a 'film' – Hollywood
Visual effects are there for a reason
Television introduced a graphic in the 70s
Phrase 'Youth culture' – Janet Street Porter - couldnt we have a 'graphic' – motion mess
Bruckheimer – created explosions for the sake of effect
'Guy Debord', French Philospher, The society of the spectacle, Immersive experience of the cinema
What is a visual effect?
The Player – no physical cut for 10 mins – difference, earlier filmmakers would not use cuts between sequences
Touch of Evil /Hunger – no edits through the film
Wavelength – 60 minute zoom development shot, slow frame change, mesmeric
Railway Freak – railway video Northern Norway – train drivers view

Rory J McClean
Lumigraph 11
Spends alot of time immersed in 3D
Three essential commandments
The romantic gene is dominant
Seal background from Barack Obama
Like visual effects in a more artistic way
Effects – rendering things that are not real, but rendering them realistically
Another way of Storytelling – Lars Von Trier – Dogma film
Look at more of the Lars Von Trier films – Danish filmmaker, Danish cinema
Danish ideas – morality, the danish society, high levels of taxation
Fighting against Danish values
Why are still doing that, doing something different.
Sound enhances the visual effect
Content is more abstract
The Kingdom, soap opera set in Hospital, using Dogma techniques, kicking swedish people
Witty person, people describe him as serious
Complicated ideas
- work must never be a means of increasing wealth
- work must aim quaryely for the viscera
- beauty real beaurty ends where an intellectual expression begins

'Streaming theatre online'
Go for an existing audience, than new audience
Live music performance, people visiting the british library have gone to see the performance, than see books.
Question of whether to bring them to see theatre, or watch from a laptop.
How do the theatres film it?
Content belongs to the actors
Brian – said major institutions suh as BL and SciM are willing to get involved in other projects beyond their remit, sense of serious, leveraging in the world

Quotations from favourite designers
'I live where the sky ends' – Rihanna song
Told not to have limitations
'Less is more'
Limits can be useful

Interactivity is important
Interaction is fundamental to communication
Area of Design
Focus on Business / Maximising return
These business people find other people's skills
What individual talents does that person have

JK
The Internet can be a politicians friend
Twitter – social network effect

Piggybacking on scandal
Push the story on

Longevity – Twitter ? How long?
Everything online is a reflection of what is offline
