Experiments Project 2 05
In this experiment looks at the idea that individual movements of drawing a line.
Questions on this experiment
- Is there any way I can abstract this idea ?
- Do I have any other abstract idea of time ?
- How can I show this study in a some footage?
What I learnt in this experiment and what to do next.
- I need to look in to after effects to start manipulating this footage.
- The motion in the hand is very subtle.
Links to research and inspiration’s for this experiment.

Experiments Project 2 04
looking at motion through time the fourth experiment I will look at the simple act of drawing a line abstracted from the triangle in experiment 02.
Questions on this experiment
- What would happen if I took all the fames and arrange them in a contact sheet view would that show motion ?
- Can I show this in an image ?
- How else can I show motion in time ?
What I learnt in this experiment and what to do next.
- Even the most smallest amount of footage has so much movement. I will brake some frames down in to a frame by frame study in the next experiment.
- I have more than enough footage for all of my experiments.
Experiments Project 2 03
looking at motion through time the third experiment i want to look at the simple act of drawing of another simple box but through an image but together in photoshop.This image uses 3 images one from beginning, middle and one for the end of the video.
Questions on this experiment
- How else can I show motion in time ?
- How else can I abstract this footage ?
What I learnt in this experiment and what to do next.
- I need more analysis of the drawing. I will use the a portion of the footage.

Experiments Project 2 02
Experiment Two
looking at motion through time the second experiment i want to look at the simple act of drawing of another simple box and a triangle.
Questions on this experiment….
- what would happen if I took out frames to just give bare minimum of motion in time ?
- Can I show this in an image ?
- How else can I show motion in time ?
- Is this the simplest object I can draw ?
What I learnt in this experiment and what to do next.
- This footage need some more abstraction. I will try a simple photoshop image.
Experiments Project 2 01
Experiment One
looking at motion through time the first experiment I want to look at the simple act of drawing a box.
Questions on this experiment.
- what would happen if i slowed down the video or brake it in to frames on this video would we see more motion in time?
- Is this the simplest object I can draw ?
- Is there any other shape I can draw ?
What I learnt in this experiment and what to do next.
- That this footage is too complicated and I need a more simple shape.
- I need a shorter footage as when i broke it down into frames there was over 200 images.
More reasearch on time.
After yesterdays tutorial I was told I was being too broad with my research. So with this in mind I want to look in to the idea of capturing movement in time and looking at abstracting the movement within those images.
So I Have looked at some other artist that have done this successfully
Marcel Duchamp

From looking at these images I should look at a shot time for instance one minute to look very subtle movement.
Time and the captuing of it Time and the capturing of time.
Over there weekend I started researching how I was going to capture time. I got a found these books in the library. This is what I found.
and
and found some videos on time lapse.
Also looking at the idea of long exposure.
Another concept i had was to look at capturing time through symbols.
http://maryt.wordpress.com/2007/03/29/how-do-i-write-roman-numerals/
From here i will look at doing my own experiments and look at trying to abstract the time from my compilations.
Time what is time ????
One Thing that was prevalent in my first assignment the one issue that came up was the idea of time travel and how to capture time. This is what I want to do in this assignment.
Paragraphs from last assignment that deal with time.
- While time travel is not possible at this point in history the ability to travel in a virtual way is available through the use of television. We can experience events in the past through televised recordings and watching old film and photography. The viewer can be exposed to knowledge that was once only available to a privileged few. It can take people to places that not everyone will see for example The 1969 Moon Landing. Education of the masses through television can show us different places that we have not been to or will ever travel to. We build up a familiarity with many people and places across the globe. When Diana died millions of people felt a deep connection with her and grieved for the loss of her life.
- When we take an image of someone or something we take away a fragment of time and store it in digital form
- The images generated by the camera act as a teleport. The viewer can be transported into a situation that happened at different times whether it be a film or photographic image. The viewer can see a situation where they might or might not have been.
- “A picture tells a thousand words” says the old adage but this understanding is not longer true. “A picture never lies” the operator of the camera has full control of the image being generated. In this way the camera can be looked upon as a time machine or as a story telling devise with its “honesty factor” being the sole charge of the operator.

—Idioms
From here I will narrow these terms about time down to 10 and then start to experiment. Then make my deductions on how I will arrive at a solution.
Context 1-6 done.
went to church street yesterday and took some photos.
a sample of them can be seen below
Finished work on Context 1 -6. Will check them with tutor to day after lecture.
will start on comparing 2 of them tomorrow.
DMDN 389 Weekend progress 01
Finished work on Context 2 -6.
Will be finishing context 1 after Monday as i have not been in church street yet. Then i will start typing up my final context at this cruunet moment it looks like i hope i will have the assinment done by Wednesday.
What is design ?
Design is the practice of analyzing and construction in order to resolve a problem.
Analyzing consists of research and observation. This is the most critical stage in all design work as you must understand how to approach the problem in order to devise an appropriate solution.
The research stage is all about experimenting (either written and, or in practice) and looking at other people’s solutions to a problem or precedents. In the case of the situation where you don’t have any prior solutions it is best to look at the subject and start studying the object or space in depth until you derive an answer to the solution. Observation is the recording of research and the understanding of your journey to the solution. This will help you form an approach and an overall look or aesthetic for the solution.
However every design is unique and will depending on which person you give the project to. They might use the same methods but ultimately the aesthetic is the way we distinguish which designer was responsible for project.
Design is ultimately methodical problem solving. Most people will only look at the “end product” – not the process on the designer took to arrive at that “end product”.
So it is up to us to us to create awareness and incorporate our process into our design.
Through design we may unlock our own passion so the solution becomes us. Design is us
