To begin Thinking

Today we had a lecture from Dane about using this term to make a brief for a transdisciplanary piece of animation/X. I am so excited, and I have begun thinking about ideas.

The following is what I scribbled during the lecture. I'll post scans of it tomorrow if I get a chance.

Anima Sculpt//cinema//ampitheatre paper mache
Start white with outlines like anim layout get proressively more final. Play with life vs death
Cinema, or theatre? I like modern tech. Sound architecture. Cinema on wheels?

So there, that's the garbled mess I made with very strong visuals happening in my head of layout art becoming finalized animation in a gradient but represented in an architectural format. I think I would love to end up with a sculptural piece. I am very intrigued by the offer to show animation with something in stasis.

I ran the idea past Dane and there was much confusion between us, but I found the most understandable idea that I conveyed was "Interpretation of Spaces as an animator vs others".

I'm currently working on some lotus blossom charts. The idea is to have either a huge blossom. Or, what I'm currently doing which is creating separate ones for different disciplines such as animation space, architectural space, landscape space. I want to look at all different types of spaces whether they're geographic or lesser scale. I don't want to limit myself initially with kinds of spaces so I'm gonna be exploring all kinds but I believe for simplicity I will be dealing with physical spaces that are tangible such as cities, countries, chairs etc. Rather than abstract concepts such as spaces in thought, mental planes, spiritual spaces, spaces on a page, spaces in language because I think I would fall directly into untranslatable yet interesting and deeply experimental thought processes.

So yeah, first thoughts, second week of term 3. First time thinking about our assignment!
