Day 64 Moving ideas forward

 Vis |Com's 23rd March saw some thinking around Stonehenge 21st Century and Album Art works re-imagined

starting with a sort of Stonehenge





Filling in some blanks in Stonehenge.


LP Covers

I had thought about this for quite some time, the idea of a work of art that many millions of copies could be made and distributed quite 'democratically, how I had discovered Bridget Riley as an artist  (personally!)   and  even making early moves in that direction.







How could I re-imagine an LP with a different cover from that we have lived with for many years - should a re-mastered album have a new cover perhaps?


My Art Board game continued to develop too -how would the property spaces be, perhaps gallery/Studio/Exhibition space

What would  a 'win' in Artopoly look like? 


Ideas around Auctioning and the global market percolating through

The start days 1 and 2

 This week I have started a course at CityLit London that's about Art and Design, the course runs for an academic year and is 3 days per week. CityLit is an institution that offers many opportunities for adult learning one of the big assets is the teaching which is conducted by people who have a real life history in the topics they teach in - I started the part 1 of the course pre pandemic and here is a link to a post from early 2020 On this website I will reflect on the learning and experience, what approaches were taken, feedback from the group  and the way I felt about various aspects of the topic. Monday  13th September 2021. The first session was Textiles and we looked at  a presentation on  Textiles and some of the artists working in this area - funnily enough I had visited a local Arts Trail at the weekend and seen and discussed with a participating artist a textile approach using a recycling perspective  as the raw material (sort of if I can see raw...

Day 11 - a bit of colour

Image
Colour is a complex matter, a science  as well as part of art. When we look at an area of colour it can be described as being made up of 3 variables  Light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans perceive (via Rods and Cones in their eyes) in a particular way. Numbers can be apportioned to give a defined colour via    Hue -  the attribute of a colour by virtue of which it is discernible as red, green, etc., and which is dependent on its dominant wavelength and independent of intensity or lightness Tone  - this  refers to the relative lightness or darkness of a colour. One colour can have an almost infinite number of different tones and  Saturation  refers to the intensity of a colour. This is different from hue,  Saturation is the strength of a surface colour, its degree of visual difference from neutral grey. paint behaves differently from light in mixing, the primary colours with paint are Red Blue and Yellow - mixing th...

An image from Dresden Dynamo   Last week in the Moving image session we were shown a piece of work that was created in the days of 16mm (this film format is still around but less common these days)the work we saw was 'Dresden Dynamo ' by the experimental film maker Lis Rhodes and was made 1971-72. (More about Liz Rhodes here )  Liz explains the way the Sound track was created  and the reason for it's unpredictability and other-worldliness here. The image is read by an optical sound head and this is not the usual way (normally a distinct  separate sound track of audio/music would be recorded ) conversely the pattern and shapes in Liz's film correspond with the soundtrack so we see the sound and here the pictures. We also got a chance to see Berlin Horse by Malcolm Le Grice (with soundtrack by Brian Eno) - we were told that the film was colourised black and white (printed to add colour), the film includes found footage, superimposition and various distortions (in...
