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...

Cinema4d - 3D Character

I first created a cube using the dimensions 400x100x200 and added segments 2x1x1. So I could see the segments I had to turn on 'Gourd Shading (lines)' which meant the separate polygons were visible. I right hand clicked on the object and when to 'make editable which means that I would be able to edit the object.  Making the centre two points selected using the points section tool I dragged it down 50/60 centimetres. I rotated round so I could see the top faces. In the tool bar I selected the faces two and selected the top two faces to begin to add more polygons onto my object. Right clicking brings up a menu, I selected extrude. When using the the extrude tool you would think you just drag the mouse in the direction you want extruding. This is not the case, to extrude correctly you need to drag the object to the right hand side while still holding the mouse button. I first extruded above what I alread...

Cinema4d - Logo

Today's lesson was the first time that I have ever played around with Cinema4D so it was all completely new. I learnt the basics of how to use the lights and cameras. I first created a logo using my initials but the file corrupted so was not able to render.  My second attempt I used some of my work from the 'Speculatry Futures'. On my timeline of women rights I created a diamond ring in illustrator, I then imported this file into C4d. My next step was to work out how to extrude the object. Adding a background and floor means that the ring will look like its in a space when rendering it out. I added a camera onto my composition to film the ring 360 degrees. Lighting was next on the list to do to ensure my object was visable. Before rendering I checked all the settings to make sure my final piece would look correct. Once happy I rendered out and added the clip onto my Vimeo account.  Workshop 1- dimond ring from Jade Holmes on Vimeo .
