My project is based on expansion, so far i have several ideas around this topic.
I first though about theoretical physics and string theory, how this would apply to footwear. I wanted to tie the physical side of expansion with the constant activity of mankind. I played around with using shoe in a hallway to make "strings", showing the connections between people and human progress.
In the end i have decided take this idea on a different path to uses a different approach. Instead of photography, as i felt it lacked the essence of the word expansion, I prefer the idea of an installation piece. For example using strings of shoes guiding people through rooms or expanding a shoe to an abnormal size. I was put off as a another artist has recently worked around the idea of string theory. Tomas Sarenceno recently did an installation on space time foam, his work was inspiring but not in the way i wanted to present my project.
Link to his website is seen Below:
(I would love to see some of his work, but if could go to a exhibition of his i will.)
This is a short video (mockup) of my i did on this shoe piece.
This is a video following the shoes to the end with lighting changes and music that best represented me and my work as you are following my style of shoes.
Development through other ideas
This also lead to other ideas that are now being developed or i felt that they are not as good as other ideas that i have had. Another idea was creating a animation on bacteria and the growth rate or micro bacteria. This was develop from the idea science, but as i researched in my college liberty they only had medical books and biology books. This idea will be developed but i might be more of a side project to my mean idea.
These are some of note of the idea have developed from:
1) bacterial. 2) close up of my bacteria drawing. 3) a design of string theory as a ball or strings.
I have made development note that can now help me get on the right path to produced a excellent final piece. From the first two image i worked on as inspired my to do an animation on bacteria and from that i went to the camden art gallery and saw a art piece that interested me the most that also link to the idea of growth and expansion.
(see below)
This to me look like bacterial being grown but two video playing under each other. The exhibit i went to was the Film in space: Group show selected By Guy Sherwin.
A link to their website to is shown below:
In conclusion all of my ideas that i have produced even the ideas the are not going to be used helped to develop my ideas into the one idea i am developing through.I will do my piece on the theoretical physics and evolution with women and men as well different angle and colours. This idea will develop more and will become come or help me to get a final piece for the 30th january of this year.
