Second Assignment
Show me yourself at a location of your choice. Show me your room, your house or street or your favorite place. Show me a place where you feel uncomfortable, a lively place, a relaxed place. Show me a thing that is relevant for you. Show me how you do things. And just in case you want to: Show me a person who means something for you.
Experiment with visual material, publish excerpts together with an annotating text on the blog. Comment on the posts of two or more other students. Deadline is October 21.
Panoramas
Visiting the School of Creative Media yesterday I was surprised to find myself in a pretty amazing machine called Gallery 360, which creates an immersive and interactive environment that is one way of representing remote locations. The form of the installation, the 360 degree rotunda, actually goes back to the 19th century panorama. The panorama then was one of the most influential forms of visual entertainment and consisted of a giant painting often combined with extra scenery in front of it. Switzerland has a famous panorama in Lucerne, the Bourbaki that shows a scene from the Franco-Prussian War.
