i've been experimenting with text and photography..
dream countryside this looks good
but works better with documentary photography and animated words..
dream bench
dream bench interactive
having a photograph seems a little cliche and makes me think of either advertising or silent movies. the next step was to experiment with just text..
as3 typewriter if i had a large ammount of data this could be very useful and i've only just scratched the surface. i'm sure there is a lot more that can be done with text and as3.
as3 exploding text
i like the way the text has been manipulated in this one interactive narrative text ..the angle of the words seems to bring them to life, and being able to interact adds a whole new layer of meaning.

something completely different
what's left out on the chinese version of the net? possible data source but perhaps more useful for another project.
the experiment
few ideas i've come up with so far..
one advantage of just using text or something abstract is that the source of the material could be hidden until the end. so for example, the meaning of the work would change when the viewer discovers who was providing the information.

feedback from presentation
what makes sophie calle's work so accessible? is it the way she draws us into her world?
she focuses on the oblique aspects of life and in her work there is always some kind of experiment or method.. something to definitely consider in my own work.
not documentary - translating, interpreting the thoughts.. its meaning changes when its on a screen.
instead of continually looking at other works of art, i need to start looking at my own ideas, strip away the copying and find my usp. what are the best bits of my idea?
we have 20% preparation time for 80% production, the production will come together if the plan is sound.

I have been thinking about my audience and the works' social political context...
social political context
philosophical insight into the human mind. looking in on other people to make sense of ourselves. looking in rather than out.
Audience
i want to make conceptually sound work which will be accessible and appeal to a broad audience. much of my work in the past has been difficult to show without some kind of explanation of media theory.
