inspiration

Here are some images that inspire me that contain circles. Many of the images contain large amounts of circles and look representative of a large and massive crowd. This is something I would like to replicate.

above are sketches that I made in response to identity, starting with the most recent

biennale

Over the past few days I have volunteered at the Biennale. I have worked with Choi Jeong Hwa installing his piece called Hubble Bubble which is located at the Sydney Opera House. I was able to get a grasp on this piece after helping creating and installing the piece. Hubble Bubble is about consumerism. The piece is constructed out of many baskets that are made of out plastic. In Korea, they are cheaply produced and commonly used to collect food. The baskets also consist of a bright green color that looks different based on the sunlight; sometimes they are glowing similar to a forest and representing nature. One of the memorable lines I remember Choi saying about Hubble Bubble, "the color is bright, but the message is not bright". We should be respectful and be appreciative of nature. Also the piece is relatively simple, a good message I should think about in my website. I don't want to the audience to be lost or confused in my concept. Currently I am working on an animation that would be an opener for the website.

transportation

I want to focus on the concept of being anonymous through different modes of transportation. As of now, I want to go select bus, train, ferry and plain, transportation I am exposed to in Sydney. These areas will be included in the home page. I am thinking the different modes of transportation will be cropped or included one drawing with rollover images and or animation on the homepage...sketches to come!

art or design?

Today was my first day volunteering at the Biennale. I was not so sure what I was going to do, but I was excited to work with international artists and designers. For the day I was working along side Serge Spitzer who is a sculpture and installation artist. For his upcoming piece located on Cockatoo Island his titled Molecular Sydney, which is similar to Molecular Istanbul, another famous piece for the 1994 Biennale in Istanbul. The piece is located in an old military base that is filled with small iron balls to give the impression of fluffy or rug-like surface, which is a contrast to the stone walls of the old building. While helping set up the installation I was thinking if this would be considered art or design? This could be interpreted as design as he is designing the space inside the room, by filling the room with the iron balls, that are only imported in Queensland. Again, the question is still being asked and when the Biennale opens in two weeks time, the debate will be brought up many times from the exhibitions that are on display.
