In reviewing the artist statement that I wrote last week, I am happy with how it is composed. I have been thinking about maybe putting some QR codes at the bottom of the statement for the audience’s reference. I would like to link the Keeping People Safe at Music Festivals, 2019, report as it has acted as a significant influence for the project. I also … Continue reading SOME MORE PROGRESS | week 15
This week I have created 1 out of 3 of the videos that will be projected on the tent. I have also composed a draft of my artist statement: IN_TENTS_IFY is an installation piece that aims to satirically comment on the laws and legislations around the use of particular substances, specifically when attending music festivals. The idea for this project spawned in response to … Continue reading YES NICE | week 14
Understanding gender biases in the current Australian and local music industry: Does the discussion of the lack of female representation in the music industry result in more women entering the music industry? Introduction Brought to light by way of social media, there have recently been concerns with the Australian music industry that has caused them to fall under scrutiny. As a student at the University … Continue reading Women in Australian Music
The concept for my digital artefact derived from my own interest in the changes that the music industry has undergone due to media technology, specifically from the perspective of the artist. Since the fairly recent outbreak of streaming and social media, marketing and distribution within the music industry have become almost entirely reliant on these kinds of technologies. Artists no longer have to rely on … Continue reading MUSIC BIZNIZ ANALYSIS
In working with Glen this week, I have made a few changes to my project and its concept. The images that will be projected on to the walls of the tent will no longer be a tick or a cross, there will instead be 3 buttons with 3 different kinds of substances and 3 different videos will appear when they are pressed. When I initially … Continue reading IN_TENTS_IFY | week 13
This week I have begun to make out of clay the symbols to represent each substance that will be placed inside each button, as well as the boxes that each button will sit upon. I have also recorded the image of the cross and the tick so that they appear to look more pixelated. I have done this for aesthetic reasons. I have not made … Continue reading RECONSIDERING STUFF | week 12
In the previous analysis of my live tweets, I concluded that I would gain the traction when comparing the film to other forms of media in pop culture, such as other movies and TV shows, with a visual additive. In understanding this phenomenon, I began tweeting again with the mindset of trying to maintain posting in this format. As I anticipated, most of these tweets … Continue reading Tweets 2 ~electric boogaloo~
MATILDA The Glossy Project. When analysing this project I mainly addressed the topic of the magazine industry and some ways that it has clearly changed. I also discussed the concept of the project as a whole, and briefly addressed the methodology/plans for the project. I got somewhat carried away discussing the topic, as opposed to analysing, as an attempt to assist her in ideas for … Continue reading My thoughts on YOUR uni projects
I am currently reconsidering the effectiveness of my project in communicating my intended message. I am not sure if the appearance of a cross for an illegal substance and a tick for a legal substance, paired with a short clipping of correlating music, is enough to present the ideas to an unknowing viewer. This week I am considering adding a few words to appear after … Continue reading “GO TO JAIL” | concept development | week 11
Bitch better breed your bunny Over the past few weeks, I have been developing a 2-6 player card game entitled Raising Buns. The game has 4 separate decks of cards, as well as scorecards; there is also an element of a 4 sided dice that is necessary for gameplay. I have also designed a board that could be included but is not essential. It has taken a … Continue reading RAISING BUNS
Today I have designed the ‘tick’ and ‘cross’ that will be projected on either side of the tent after the button is pressed and the music has played. I created these through processing as the images must be coded in order for them the travel from a computer, into an Arduino, into a MaKey MaKey, into the projector and onto the tent. In this … Continue reading CO-DANG (coding) | week 10
Today I experimented with projection. We set up, from the roof, a projector that sends a signal to the outside of the tent, so that when the viewer is inside the tent they can see through the fabric what is being depicted. I much prefer the aesthetic of the projection as opposed to the monitor. As the audience member lays inside the tent … Continue reading PROJECT-ION | week 9
