Project B Proposal
My intention for this project is to manipulate the existing architecture of the space so that it in turn alters the reaction, or rather interaction, the figures have with the have with the architecture. That is, in the end I will have created a completely new built space in which the action of the footage occurs. To begin with, I will diagram the built aspect of the existing space, focusing mainly on the perspective aspects thought the use of lines. The next step will be to expand the lines into the volumetric forms that make up the space. From there, the forms will begin to move and even morph into new shapes. At first the movement of the volumes will only occur in accordance with the existing built forms, but eventually they will begin to break free of the rigidity of the perspective and have increasingly undefined movement. At this point, I will manipulate the footage so it seems as the new volumetric forms are actually controlling the movement of the figures within the space. In the end, the seeming random movement that originally occurred within the figures of the space will translate onto the new architecture of the space though the use of scripting.
3D Mapping
The graphic maps a comparison between a poll done by SurveyUSA for the state of Ohio and the overall national trend for the 2008 Presidential election, from January to November 2008, as compiled by Pollster.com. I chose to create the graph of the poll statistics for Ohio using by cubes, as they can be stacked and displaced to represent a margin of error that comes with pre-election polls. Furthermore, they are also the “building blocks” that make up the national polls, which is why I chose to represent them as larger and generally more consistent, sweeping elements that weave through the Ohio poll. The grey rectangles a 10% range in which most of the information falls (between 40 and 50%).
