patterngenerating

after setting up a framework in the studio to enable pattern making through layering - I've been working on creating a series of images that have their starting point in the labs - thinking about the idea of order and disorder - the image of science - what it looks like - starting with tessellation and just the idea of looking - creating images that require looking! a kind of 'what is that?' - I've started to take out all colour and working with grey images although there was a moment of refracted light in some of the imagery and so this is an aspect I'm keeping for the moment and possibly working with, although there is an element of Christmas decoration about it that's a little worrying.

I've been developing images that are turned into gifs - next they could be used as surfaces on shapes animated through folding. The structures need to be virtual to explore the 2D/3D real/digital issues.

2 most excellent video recommendations – both full of truly great knowing nonsense – so many references that I need a notebook – pity about the music ....The Hoff with True Survivor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTidn2dBYbY and Snoop with Too many Pros http://www.vevo.com/watch/USQX91500044  over the weekend watched another adaptation of José Saramago's 2002 novel The Double the first was the double directed by Richard Ayoade - this was The Enemy http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2316411/ with Jake Gyllenhaal playing both characters - it really is a 'wot the....' moment at the end - but two hours of discussion later its all clear.

Meanwhile finally back in the newly laid out studio working on developing the handheld structures to explore new ways of moving and eventually using them as pattern generator.
