Exhibition Process // Case Study

Necker Cube Mock Up


Initial mock up of the impossible Necker cube stand that I would like to build. Researching into this, I learned that this impossible illusion only works when the stand is looked at through a certain angle made with cuts in areas for the shape to connect. With that in mind, I began to gather materials to build the stand.

Scanimation

Kinegrams , which are now popularly reffered to as Scanimations are a special form of animation containing six frames. I came across this technique as I was researching into different forms of illusions. It creates not only the illusion of movement but a whole animation which appears to make the image move. In other words, it's using papers specially designed to create an animation instead of it being shown digitally which I think is not only amazing but exciting to watch more so than a digital animation. This works by placing and alligning an acetate overlay which is usually black and containing vertical stripes over a specially prepared image and moving the acetate paper from right to left. The most beautiful thing about these Scanimations are the mesmerising animated illusions and how complicated it can look before the black acetate is placed over the image to create the illusion. It reminds me of seeing a flipbook as a child and watching as the pages were turned qu

Bridget R iley is arguably the pioneer of optical art and illusions.As you can see, her art is mainly using the colours black and white and work with geometrical shapes such as triangles, squares and ovals. Further on she did begin to experiment with colour also but I'm much more interested in the pieces she did with black and white. For me, her work is beyond creative for her time, it's dynamic and illusive yet amazing but confusing. She's one of the reason I've looked into optical illusions as my main concepts and also our perception. Moreover I love how she combines her artwork with photography to create some amazing portraits which I would like to experiment myself and create illusive photographs. Furthermore I can gain inspiration from her artwork and emulate them, mixing colour into my works to give a more unique take on her art style.

Welcome to The Blog - FMP Concept

FMP - Perception For my initial FMP concept, I have begun to explore the theme of Perception. The way we perceive things differ as individuals, moreover it's also subjective to what we are percieving which controls our opinions, thoughts and emotions. Emotions and feelings in particular are what I want the final outcomes of my deliverables to bring out in people, whether they're positive or negative, a variety or similar, as long as people feel a strong emotion and feeling for the work, is my aim. Initially, I had thought about the idea of Media Control and just how much they control someone's opinion on the world, how much the Media can manipulate and fabricate news for their own ideals and agendas but which in turn relates to we as the people who perceive the world due to the media or in contrast, completely distrust the mainstream media. However, I found this concept to be a common idea to base my work on so I continued developing the idea to which led me to a new c
