Through this MA, I have developed an artistic voice that feels confident. I have benefited immensely from engaging with teachers, technicians and coursemates as they offer an opportunity to learn new ways of thinking and consequentially have helped me to contextualise my own practice. This has shown me how important it is to engage with… Read More Critical Evaluation
We’ve recently discovered that I may not be able to use the small office space. It’s still a small possibility but I have decided to ere on the side of caution and relocate my work. Vic’s already very settled into her space and I didn’t want to interfere with her work. As C216 (i.e. the… Read More Showplan: Version 3
Day 1: Spent the day sweeping and scraping the walls. A BA student had left hundreds of command sticky tape on the wall, which has been a priority to remove for Neslihan’s work. Joe and I have been working on that. We’re just in the general setup stage and has very much required a team… Read More Show Setup
Went to artist UAL graduate Juno Calypso’s exhibition as for the past year I’ve been interested in the themes of her work. I originally came across her when researching for my research paper in a book at Camberwell library called ‘Girl on Girl: Art And Photography In The Age Of The Female Gaze’. It introduced… Read More Juno Calypso Exhibition: What to do with a million years?
I was talking to the technician Matt about my datamoshing, who wondered whether this could be something that could be done live. Very excited by the idea I looked it up on YouTube and found one video in which someone had done this: Wonderfully, wonderfully the man who made this video also left… Read More Live Moshing
So after the failed test in After Effects, I wondered whether changing the colour of the scenes I piece together would help create a certain level of difference that would make it easier to mosh. And it worked! I’ve also discovered that through testing the slower and more jittery the footage is, the more likely… Read More Premiere – Colour Test
One of the problems i’ve been having with my footage is figuring out what scenes are best to mosh together. My limitations are that I have grainy low quality footage, the camera remains still and while there is some movement it’s not necessarily that much, which just means that it’s hard to get an immediate… Read More After Effects Test
I was interested in going to see Alex Prager’s work after checking what was on around London as her work looks into “themes of alienation and the pluralism of modern life” while also largely having women as the protagonists of her work. https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/museums/at-corcoran-alex-pragers-color-photographs-of-crowds-depict-detachment-in-togetherness/2013/11/22/495a764e-5143-11e3-9e2c-e1d01116fd98_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.df246f37e7b8 Her influence seems to be where she comes from, which is LA… Read More Alex Prager: Silver Lake Drive Exhibition
As i’m trying to getting a further understanding into the world of performance art I thought that visiting the Joan Jonas exhibition would be a good way to do that. Upon learning about her work, I was immediately interested in her use of masks as the idea of a mask is something that has driven… Read More Joan Jonas Exhibition
Following the line of thought that the more movement there is in the footage the more likely it is to mosh, I decided to look at danger selfies. This links to the beginning of my project and even foundation where I researched the different kind of selfies people take – Belfies (bum selfies), selfies in… Read More Danger Selfie Datamosh
