You don’t even need the console for many of his adaptions.

For this half of the semester I’m working with the feeling of the loss of someone who was once familiar, I haven’t really narrowed it down just yet but this is basically my theme. I want my work to evoke feelings of loss and nostalgia. So far I’ve made one small animation and a short movie, I am also going to be working with photography.
EDIT: I can’t get the photos to work but this is one of my little stop motions

To create a truly monumental virtual space I would require hundreds of staff members, a ‘server farm’, a dedicated a team of programmers and game designers and skilled representatives and diplomats for legalities and coordination.
I am interested in unifying and modifying such programs as Google Earth and localised websites such as streetview or Yourlocal.com in order to heightmap and render the information into an accessible, multipurpose virtual world.
This a short montage of five clips I’ve recorded for the week 11 class. It consists of two clips of me flicking the pages of a book (a reference guide), two clips of a greased flash drive catching the light in the computer lab, and a clip of the sun and haze from the train.
From it, I’m trying to design a working method for creating a kind of motion-based portrait. The first layer is a series of short clips that give the feel (at least for me) of something like the ‘beats’ in song (something I can apply the audio aspect to later). There’s also a base clip which is uninterrupted, I suppose this could capture some (possibly sped up) process the subject undertakes. And the other layers are other possibilities which I could work in later. It’s a basic template for what I plan to do.
Given an infinite budget, I would use a combination of sensor modules, video cameras and light projectors to create a system of appropriated and shifting identities. It would operate in a defined sequence, of which several instances would run in a defined space:
The possible layering of multiple sequences could lead to an individual who has spent some time in the defined space having the images of multiple individuals projected onto him/her, creating an implied narrative by defining an original presence by the apparitions which have appeared in its wake. It also has the capacity to interpret concepts of individual and group identity in a manner more reflexive than common sense would allow the medium.
