Genealogies Seminar

Genealogy - 29th September

Brief Genealogy Principles -

Creative formation of histories from particular perspectives
Multiplicitious and often contradictory
Never about declaring absolute origins
Genealogies are resident –they are one among many
Genealogies are resident – they are one many

Future Geneology Examples :

If we struggle to work a blanker

Then we would create a blanket with sleeves

Future Genealogy

We were asked to work in-groups of 4/5 and then speculate what would happen.

We were given ' Dinosaurs are alive' from this we came up with a lot ideas:

To being with we questioned is they were good or bad dinosaurs? Then followed both paths to what we would do. The one thing we knew for certain was that it would change the world as we know it.

If the dinosaurs where nice then we would have two options: train them or treat the equal.

Treating the equal would mean that they get rights, may even create a NHS inspired service for dinosaurs. They would be given freedom so could go shopping and even get a full body wash (like a spas treatment)

Training them would mean we could have them as pets or the training could be for work, maybe acting instead of buses. This would also help stop global warming as we wouldn't need to use cars.

If the dinosaurs were nasty then that would be that humans would be straight back in the food chain. Much like the myths of dragons we may have to offer sacrifices in oder to preserve humans as a species therefore feeding them people who have committed unspeakable crimes.

Marc Zuckerberg and his wife have said they are to donated billions of dollars to cure diseases in our children life time. The issue with all diseases being cured is that then means the population with enlarge quicker that people die as births will be at a higher rate. Yes this would be amazing but also means that the only way to control the population is man made solutions war etc. If dinosaurs were evil and alive than population would be able to be controlled.

Evil dinosaurs may even want to enslave the human race leading to a human vs dinosaur war.

Obviously this is all completely ridiculous and is not to be taken seriously, as dinosaurs are not going to be resurrected like in Jurassic Park and I do not think the population needs to be control by human eating monsters.

Kandinsky's Experiment - Circle, Square, Triangle

Wassily Kandinsky, a student from Bauhaus, circulated a questionnaire trying to determine the universal response for the relationship between colour and form. The questionnaire consisted of three shapes, a triangle, square and circle, he recipient was then to colour each one with a different primary colour etc. Red, blue or yellow. His questionnaire received a remarkable about of the same response. This may because those in the school had the same theoretical ideals. They believed that the triangle was yellow, square to be red, and the circle to be blue. This product influenced many projects in the early days of Bauhaus. They were also to give an explanation where possible. I decided to do this myself deciding differently to the Kandinsky original consensus. I felt as if the triangle should be red as this is what most red warning sign are shaped and coloured like. The circle is to be yellow as it re...

Iconography

From the Greek word for 'image' and 'to write' The identification and description of what the image is. WJT Mitchell Iconography is about the rhetoric of images, that is it helps us know....... three different images can all mean the same. Peace: This something that can only be communicated if the artist and the audience share the same background meaning there will be a similar cultural meaning. Byzantine Portraiture Using symbols etc to signify more about the person. At this time they moved away from creating photograph-like paintings and used symbols and objects to add more to the painting. For example, the painting below could make you think the man is a shepherd due to the lamb around his neck and the staff. You may also believe the image is related to Christianity because of the cross, moving further we begin to think that may the man in the painting is meant to be a representation of Jesus. Metaphor A typ...

Rob Lycett Workshop - Manifesto

For this workshop we had to create our manifesto based on the work we did in a Monday Lecture. The point below are what it based it on. Passion - key ingredients to being productive If i do not find something interesting, or stimulating I struggle to work efficiently so therefore I will find and angle to work from every project which interests me. Changing Perceptions - Making the audience think The only way to become successful in what I do is to make my audience want to decode my work and find meaning. This way it will be memorable. Influence - Historical, Culture and Social influence will help me inform my work. By researching I will be able to determine if my theories and ideas will work or if they have been done before. Re-evaluate - Aiming higher I can always do something to improve my work and are it more appealing for its desired audience. Typography - Always consider my typeface...
