Week 6: Context and Time

For this weeks experiment we collaborated with another group and came up with a design that integrates the two objects given to us; an old watch and a knitted brooch.

We approached this task with the weeks topic in mind and came up with a design which encompasses the context of each object. Both a brooch and old watch are useless things that we keep around because of their sentimental value. We created a wrist accessory which is ultimately unwearable because of the spikes intruding the mobility of the wrist joint. we wanted to represent the image of time in the way the spikes are positioned on the band, representing a sun dial.

This weeks topic has helped me to consider not just the aesthetics of an object, but to be able to look further at the context and reasoning for something be created somewhere, somehow and at sometime.

EXPERIMENTATION: CONTEXT AND TIME:

- I am focusing on time of the future in these experiments. After researching and being influenced by omote/real-time face tracking and projection mapping: the collaboration between japanese media artist, Nobumichi Asai and makeup artist Hiroto Kuwahara. And also drawing influence from Japanese robotic expert Hiroshi Ishguro and his overly realistic human like robots my experiments are questioning:

- the everyday norm of the future: where the physically looks and expectations of robots will be identical to humans. I therefore play around with the idea that we will only be able to determine who is a robot and who is human by looking at the inner core structure of the individual.
