transforming time by SVEN LÜTTICKEN part 2

Deleuze give the idea of movement-image and time-image through many artist which suggest that it's not just only explore in a piece of art but it can show in a cinema work. In transforming time, stated that "libration of time" can be explore to any cinematic time which in the article i study that time can be capture in 2 form: the immobile image and the cinema image which in the still image. Bergsoniam duration show that All layers of time coexist in the virtual state, open to actualization. One can plunge into and access this present past, this eternity. “The appeal to recollection is this jump by which I place myself in the vir- tual, in the past, in a particular region of the past, at a particular level of contraction.”16 In this way, pure recollection becomes recollection- images, which become actualized or embodied. which mean in the movement-image time is flow by the action and effect of that action In the time-image of the nou- velle vague, by contrast, the image becomes erratic(uncertain), liberated(free) from the sensory motor schemata ( the action that suppose to be). Deleuze himself along with Godard talk about Hitchcork movie. Deleuze allegorizes the break between movement-image and time-image by means of paralyzed characters in Hitchcock films. Godard points out that what remains is not the narrative, the classical construction of Hollywood cinema but disjointed moments—mental memory-images.

In the last half of essay talk about the cinema that somehow slow the shoot till it become like a series of stills image which Barthe state that “authentically filmic” cannot be found in moving image and also reading time is free; for film, it is not so, since the image cannot move faster or slower without moving its perceptual figure. My aspect about this article is time is free, time in the movie leave the moment that show the action or emotion of charactor in a slow movement than actual. Time in cinema is like a memory that contain in it. Time was mobile according to Bergson theory it can be short or long and it cant be measure, once you try to measure the time it will be gone. The time which Bergson explaining called "duration" which can only ever be grasped through a simple intuition of the imagination.

transforming time by SVEN LÜTTICKEN part 1

SPECIAL QUOTE



in which the images of cinema are seen not as representations but as “light-matter in movement,” as “events of luminous matter.”


how cinema finally realizes a liberated time-image, Bergsonian duration is defined less by succession than by coexistence.All layers of time coexist in the virtual state, open to actualization. One can plunge into and access this present past, this eternity. “The appeal to recollection is this jump by which I place myself in the vir- tual, in the past, in a particular region of the past, at a particular level of contraction.”16 In this way, pure recollection becomes recollection- images, which become actualized or embodied.


he movement-image is still regulated by the “sensory-motor functions” and dominated by the human body and its motions and affects. In the time-image of the nou- velle vague, by contrast, the image becomes erratic, liberated from the sensory-motor schemata.


Barthes’s counterintuitive argument is that the “authentically filmic” is not in fact to be found in the moving image but in frame enlarge- ments, which offer possibilities for reading films against the grain, disassembling and permuting them, undermining linear narrative— the film’s “logico-temporal order”—and allowing for a different flow of images, for “counter-narratives.”


However, most architectural photographs by Förg are devoid of people, focusing on the modernist and/or fascist architecture itself, in black and white or color. Often, the angles from which the pictures have been taken suggest fleeting glances, a subjective point of view, making the spectator into a cinematic witness.


“our culture offers us two different models for gaining control over time—the immobilization of the image in the museum and the immo- bilization of the viewer in the cinema.


"liberation of time"


Like Cornell, Warhol in his early films suggests that the narrative of the liberation of time might bite its own tail, that the end might be found in the beginning. Deleuze notes that in the time-image “move- ment can tend to zero, the character, or the shot itself, remain immobile; rediscovery of the fixed shot.”

Dimensions


from Flavorwire
The BBC has recently launched an experimental web project called Dimensions, which allows users to overlay ancient cities, famous festivals, and environmental disasters over modern maps to get a sense of scale. The site can be used to try to better understand the impact of both catastrophes, like the flooding in Pakistan, and everyday occurrences, like the growth of urban spaces...

Notes for Space in Memory/ Hollow Form

Space in Memory

comments on video : ...

Ajarn Nueng:
 the idea of memory, interaction and perception are all very theoretical and philosophical, need  something to ground it in, it is still afterall a design studio and design project in the end.
Ratatouille: see something, and is reminded of something else
Why physical model, why not digital model where more ideas could be tested easier

Ajarn Mark:
The geometry and form of the triangle pieces, why specifically the chosen geometry. What is the logic and the order behind the design.

Ajarn Camille:
Should not just quote Henri Bergson, should study and read Henri Bergson in more details.

Ajarn Narin:
....


Hollow Form
- Not pushing the idea far enough
- research on precendents was very strong

Ajarn Narin:
The research was very good but need to see the ideas being pushed more in terms of execution, why stop with cement plaster? Push it further to test new things

Ajarn Mark:
All the examples shown in the research was about revolutionary techniques and materialities, however, the current project uses already existing material and already existing techniques. Should really push it more than what is already existing.

Ajarn Kesate:
Felt that the project is made up of two parts, Bow's hollow form and Wawaa's modular concept. The idea did not really merge on execution, more like two projects rather than one.

actionscript question

Aj Moe,
I have chosen to go with the Array method (once again, flash security is acting up), but I've run into a few difficulties. If you recall on the last presentation, I used Array with my AR to change the x,y position of the cubes randomly. That method, however, produced effect only when I restart flash player. This time, I want it so that the random effect take place every time the marker is detect (so that I do not have to restart flash quite so many time in the presentation) and I'm not sure how to produce that effect!

A bit lengthy but here's my code

package
{
import com.transmote.flar.FLARManager;
import com.transmote.flar.marker.FLARMarker;
import com.transmote.flar.marker.FLARMarkerEvent;
import com.transmote.flar.utils.geom.FLARPVGeomUtils;
import com.transmote.utils.time.FramerateDisplay;

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.media.Video;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

import org.libspark.flartoolkit.support.pv3d.FLARCamera3D;
import org.osmf.image.ImageLoader;
import org.osmf.swf.SWFLoader;
import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapFileMaterial;
import org.papervision3d.materials.MovieMaterial;
import org.papervision3d.objects.DisplayObject3D;
import org.papervision3d.objects.primitives.Plane;
import org.papervision3d.render.LazyRenderEngine;
import org.papervision3d.scenes.Scene3D;
import org.papervision3d.view.Viewport3D;



[SWF(width='640', height='480', backgroundColor='#000000', frameRate='40')]

public class midtermv2 extends Sprite
{
private var fm:FLARManager;
private var scene:Scene3D;
private var view:Viewport3D;
private var camera:FLARCamera3D;
private var lre:LazyRenderEngine;
private var p:Plane;
private var con:DisplayObject3D;
private var marker:FLARMarker;



public function midtermv2()
{
initFLAR();

}

private function initFLAR():void
{
fm = new FLARManager("flarConfig.xml");
fm.addEventListener(FLARMarkerEvent.MARKER_ADDED, onAdded);
fm.addEventListener(FLARMarkerEvent.MARKER_REMOVED, onRemoved);
fm.addEventListener(Event.INIT, init3D);
addChild(Sprite(fm.flarSource));
}

private function onAdded(e:FLARMarkerEvent):void
{
marker = e.marker;
p.visible = true;

}

private function onRemoved(e:FLARMarkerEvent):void
{
marker = null;
p.visible = false;

}

private function init3D(e:Event):void
{
scene = new Scene3D();
camera = new FLARCamera3D(fm.cameraParams);
camera.z = -30;
view = new Viewport3D(640, 480, true);
lre = new LazyRenderEngine(scene, camera, view);

var val:Array = ["pat.jpg", "pat2.jpg"]

var a:String = (val[int(Math.random() * val.length)]);

var mat:BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial(a);

p = new Plane(mat, 320, 240);
p.scaleY = -1;
p.rotationZ = -90;
p.visible = false;

con = new DisplayObject3D();
con.addChild(p);

scene.addChild(con);
addChild(view);
addChild(new FramerateDisplay());

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);
}

private function loop(e:Event):void
{
if(marker != null)
{
con.transform = FLARPVGeomUtils.convertFLARMatrixToPVMatrix(marker.transformMatrix);
}
lre.render();
}
}
}

The related lines of code is in the italic, and you can see what I did is set up an array, make a string variable call "a" which is equal to random string from the array, and then I parse "a" variable into the BitmapFileMaterial data (so AR will load that jpg)

You can see that they are all in the "init3D" function, and it work OK just like the last AR presentation with the cube. Now, however, I want the var a:String = (val[int(Math.random() * val.length)]); to take place in the "onAdded" function so that when the marker is detected, it select a random string from the array and then parse it to the
BitMapFileMaterial in the init3D function (so that I would get a random image every time marker is detected). I'm not quite sure how, becuase whenever I separate the var a:String = (val[int(Math.random() * val.length)]); and var mat:BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial(a); into different function, the error comes up and say "a" is an undefined property.

Please help if you have the time, this'd been bugging me since yesterday. If you think its too much of a technical thing right now, I will leave it as is (restart flash every time to see random) and go work on production

PS. could it also be that init3D function needed to be nested inside the onAdded function for it to work. And sorry for being wordy on this post

final pattern for pleating this size is on a4
but will be printed on fabric(2m x 3m) for pleating

Quote changed


I wish to have a real model photographed to put in my A4 too but as I went to the factory early this morning, there is not much progress done yet in terms of assembling ,at the moment the components are still in heavy parts. Plus accidentally found this interesting way to have free movements in the joints of the metal columns, by recycling the old steering wheel joint and modifying it to fit in each segment of the column. (imagine ball joint) by utilizing it i have more than 2 ways of rotation of the previous design of U-joint. From what i talked to you in the studio class on friday of having a Ping-Pong ball inside the 2 pieces, its the same idea, but the Ping-Pong ball is not strong enough to withstand the force and the ball inside has to be metal. My factory can make the metal ball that can fit into my design as what ever measurement thus it is very-time consuming,so it was kinda lucky that i found the old steeringwheel, otherwise the design might have to change back to the previous one. The u-joint allows users to interact in only 2-Dimension while the ball joint in 3-Dimension, and this is what we want.

Ornament & Columns



This is how the mechanism for the ornament that adorns the column will look. As seen, once the room (and therefore the column) gets pushed up and down, the ornaments on it appears differently. Hence CONTAINER --> ORNAMENT

A4 final Bell and Fai

work plao a?

test1


Well as you can see, they all work, the one circle with red works the best, blue the worst
I'm thinking that the bigger it is the better it work also (the worst one is the same shape as the one on the far right)

แบบ

which pattern can work best
i think the extreme angels are cool to look at ah haha
but yup tell me la gun

pattern for pleating

krist pls test this if its working
if yes then i will try to do the print screen by monday

this will be the pattern for print screen on fabric (2m x 3x for pleating )

Krist + Palm board final

i need tailor

anyone has good tailor pls tell me asap

anybody has labors at home pls contact me

2 FAI+BELLE

Effects of interaction with ornament on container/ space

Here is an experiment as to how space might be perceived (architectural space) from the interplay of the object that we are designing. Some spaces could be identified as large/ convention hall/ amphitheater/ partitioned rooms...if so, how would their ornaments appear to be...


A pavilion

Semi-public space

Private/intimate space

However, we can see that these interpretations are highly subjective. Thus we will come up with a systematic way of catalog to categorize these spaces as well.

ADDITION FAI+BELLE

Experiment


This is a pair of glove that I made out of A4 paper to work on a bit
I've paint some part so that the AR pattern would be detect when I made certain hand gestures
(the red rectangle lines over the pattern means that the tag is recognized)

1. Making OK sign

2. Weave 2 hands together
3. Make a fist


still deciding what to make the AR program shows, but right now, with the theory of
post-structuralism in mind, I'm thinking that we can re-establish the semiotic
of gesture (because the problem with semiotic is that a sign can means anything so it got no meaning) by showing AR image with the gesture.

Krist n Palm

Addition: Triangular unit (Belle & Fai)


This is an example of a unit of triangle that will be the main components of our installation. The unit will be made of 1 inch wood (1 '' by 1 '') and consists of 3 sizes. This is the smallest size, 30 centimeters in length on each side of the triangle. As for the structure of the frame, even though the poster is rendered as wood, we plan to use metal. However, we are still concerned with the price and the time it would take them to do it when we hire. Actual samples of the unit will be brought to class on Friday.

Update: INTERACTIVE ORNAMENTS
