My final project concept is...
“Ambiguation”
I don’t know precisely what I want to do.
So I will 1) present pieces that resemble my interests and resonate with my own kind of perception, and 2) present current ideas that stem from experiments I wish to conduct.
Simplicity
On one side, I am simple, uncomplicated and all about the sensibility of perception -- the aura of feeling.
Performance Art is very Sensual, Sensitive, Sensational.
United Visual Artists • Elemental simplicity, just using light as something poetic, life-like.
Brian Knep - Drift • "Underlying these explorations is a search for what I call the soul of technology" says Knep. "These interactive pieces share much with the performing arts. The software, or program, I write is the choreography, and in executing this program the computer becomes a dancer sharing the floor with visitors. Sometimes the piece leads, but the viewer transforms the dance by stepping into, or onto, the work.”
My general favorite themes in this sphere involve, for example, outward Nature (non-human) -- beauty, the simplicity of life, evolution, survival, instincts (which are all shared with Man).
Complexity
On the other hand, I can become obsessive, which brings about Complexity. This other side likes amazing and calculated intricacy all the way to confusing debacles of complexity:
Jack Backrack - Follow the leader • “In general, his work explores the intersection of sensory motor modalities and the challenges and mysteries of motor control, perception and representation.”
My general favorite themes in this sphere involve, for example, inward Nature (human) (how we move, speak, comprehend and see the world as animals and organic processes and machinery).
Currently thinking of the notion of small precious objects, like gems (beauty, intricacy, miniscule lifeforms).
Ideas + Experiments
All related to “playing with a room”... (see images in PDF below)
they involve,
darkness
performance
water
using at most 2 senses in a crucial manner, 1 at a time preferably for impact
notions of affect & expectations : creating pristine narratives to erase effectiveness of a-priories (1), making simple & impactful connections between senses while forcing the direction of interaction (2), length of rays of light has effect (3)

[Nov 25. 2007]
Null.
I just finished putting up this site so the project isn't really started.
Purchased 4 masonite 4X4' panels. Need to buy chrome spray paint and brakets for the panels. New idea to suspend the panels to the ceiling.
Nothing for now. Was thinking of adding pictures, videos, max/msp patches or code. I'm supposed to make the course DVD at the end so that's another thing. Oh yeah, might as well add the course website.
