PROJECT TWO: revision

Yuri Endo 2012

After a contemplation,  I have decided that I would replace the Zoetrope project to another ongoing Holography project in order to develop my thesis research subjects.

On that note, once again, throughout the duration of this course, I plan to focus on developing my ongoing Holography experimentation, in connection with rapid prototyping and fabrication for the purpose of visual art and new media. 

Applying the principle of light and optics, my prime goal is to generate a 3D holographic display, in which 3D printed object ( or laser cute object) serves as the center of this installation. 

On that note, I plan to proceed with the following carte; 

A. Rapid prototyping and fabrication 

>> STAGE ONE  3D formation and modeling 

>> STAGE TWO Laser cutting and 3D Printing

>> STAGE THREE 3D animation 

B. Device and Space design 

>> STAGE ONE  3D Holographic display (based on an illusionary technique, Pepper's Ghost) design and  fabrication

>> STAGE TWO Exhibition production design (for its exhibition during the Degree show scheduled in late December, 2012. )

PROJECT TWO

El Zoetropito (working title) 

Simultaneously with PROJECT ONE, I plan to focus on developing my ongoing Zoetrope experimentation, in connection with rapid prototyping and fabrication for the purpose of visual art and new media. 

Applying the principle of light and optics, my prime goal is to generate a 3D zoetrope, in which 3D printed objects would serve as animation sequence. 

On that note, I plan to proceed with the following carte for this particular project; 

A. Rapid prototyping and fabrication 

>> STAGE ONE  3D formation and modeling 

>> STAGE TWO 3D Printing 

B. Device and Space design 

>> STAGE ONE  Zoetrope design and  fabrication

>> STAGE TWO Exhibition production design (for its exhibition during the degree show.)

PROJECT ONE: brief

Yuri Endo 2012

Over the next few months, I plan to focus on developing 2 of my previous research projects.

PROJECT ONE

Luminous Specimen: The Integration (working title) 

In the duration of the preceding experimental stage, my main focus was on generating the concept and creating a prototype, in addition to test various visual effects that can be achieved through a pyramid shaped prism from motion picture sequences played in an ipod touch. 

In this second stage of the research, my primal goal is to firstly, upgrade the actual content of the motion picture (animation)  by adopting elements of the projects that would be executed during the course, Emergent Media One. Finally, to regenerate the prototype for my final presentation at the degree show scheduled in late December, 2012 in Seoul, Korea.  

On that note, I plan to proceed with the following carte;  

A. Computer generation of motion pictures   

>> STYLE ONE: Symbolic graphics (Typography) 

>> STYLE TWO: Nonfigurative graphics 

B. Device and Space design 

>>STAGE ONE : Prototype regeneration ( with additional devices/functions) 

>>STAGE TWO :  Exhibition / Space design for the purpose of visual art and new media

Return of the Luminobuster

Yuri Endo 2012

Since the completion of my research project,  Luminous Specimen,  in the late June,  I have been cogitating upon my next move for quite some time. Although my mind hasn't been fully set yet, I have started taking several analog approaches to gain fresh ideas.

As such, for next few weeks, I would like to explore a bit more on light and optic illusion, especially through the principal of Holography (holographic effects) and Zoetrope. Through those experiments, I am also hoping to rout out the digital equivalent of each technique, which can be ideally integrated with my previous research. 

Conceptual Project Plan

While I keep making notes on the theoretical research, I plan to proceed on next  stage where I will be working on five conceptual projects utilizing the classic visual art techniques. In that sense, my prime mission here is to firstly acquire the theoretic and hands-on comprehension for each technique, then secondly to develop them into advanced art form.

PROJECT TWO >> LIGHT PAINTING<<

PROJECT THREE >> NEON SIGN <<

PROJECT FOUR >> LIGHTING DESIGN<<

PROJECT FIVE >> INTEGRATION<<

Light and Optics Experiments

In order to review the principle of light, I have decided to explore the world of science and physics more by trying out various basic light and optics experiments. Through this experimentation, I'm hoping to achieve a rational understanding of history, nature and properties of light which would support me acquiring my pilot project ideas. On that note, I plan to set out the first section of STAGE ONE as classified in following categories; 

> Color
> Refraction
> Reflection
> Diffraction

A Brief Overview

Yuri Endo 2012
Created with Penki 

The prime purpose of my thesis project, Lumino Kinetic and Beyond (working title), is to explore media art forms for the purpose of light installation. Researches and experimentations would be formed by convergence of sculpture, photography, motion picture and space design that results in installations exploring the idea of creativity filtered through lumino kinetic interaction. 

>>STAGE ONE: Research and development

Exploration of the principal of light, lighting techniques and light art forms.

>>STAGE TWO: Prototyping and evaluation

Development of conceptual projects under selected themes to construct prototypes to achieve evaluation for the final outlet.

>Theme 1. Optic (Science and art integration) 

>Theme 2. Pattern (Systemic and self-organizing) 

>Theme 3. Intensity (Progressive visual communication) 

>Theme 4. Versatility  (Space and object interaction) 

>Theme 5. Integration 

>>STAGE THREE:  Exhibition and installation

Demonstration in public and/or private spaces. 

>>STAGE FOUR: Documentation

Documentation of the projects including philosophy, research, photography, video, and possible future development of said projects and process.
