The dresses were all photographed in different ways to create a performance within itself. You see the photos unravel from bright exposures and then has been edited to show the negative side of it.
To the eye without watching the film, the photos emote a certain kind of feeling and language to the viewer. It starts off light and innocence and darkens as the photo and the way its photographed does aswell.
The point in showing us this was a great example and an eye opener to how i should be thinking when it comes to presenting my work. AND it also tells me that i can be as experimental as possible when presenting my work! Does it have a narrative? Tell a story? Should it be presented digitally?
These are questions i should ask my self to fit into the context of the work....
The second part to her seminar was explaining the presentation we need to present about our own work. My work is fitted around the issue of 'technology' so i now need to explore and research:
-market research
-trend analyses
-investigation into materials
-production methods
-engagement with key issues currently facing the textile industry
I found a good and resourceful book yesterday in the library that i am curently in the process of reading.
'smart materials inarchitecture and design' by axel ritter.
'smart materials inarchitecture and design' by axel ritter.
These are some images i found interesting and well suited for my presentation:
Lobby of the Copenhagen Opera house with three chandeliers. The glass surfaces are covered with dichroitic filters.
The appearing pattern wallpaper, Sweden, 2005.
The wallpapers purpose was to demonstrate to the viewer that simple everyday objectscan change over time under the influence of forms of energy. It uses UV sensitive inks soit changes when exposed to light.
'filigree wallpaper', Great Britain 2004.
The wallpaper takes its biggest influence from William Morris, using paint made up of water, egg white, icing sugar and phosphorescent pigments. The egg whites didnt add an moisturisation properties and the wallpaper became extremly sensitive so would only be practical for interiors.
Upon looking through the book i found a projectbeing worked on called 'skirteleon' that can change colour and pattern depending on the activities and the mood of the person.
It is part of the 'transfer me' collection for the nemo science museum in 2004 which was created to show the idea of playfulness and textilesand interaction can occue with the use of technology.
Upon researching further into the skirt i found this website which i think is going to be a big help for my presentation as it is a company that works with textiles technology.
