These are the notes that I took during and after the talk:
- He uses random drawings to clear the mind before a project.
- Exploring lights and colors, merging his understanding as a biology student (evolution, decay, rebirth, and growth) into his creation.
- Find the personal pathway with any available tech, not being restricted by their conventional uses.
- Enjoying what I am doing now as we’re not constrained by deadline, budget and industry.
- Hybrid Films – non-traditional form of presentation. Integrating films with multiple media other than screens. Ideas not restricted by scale. e.g. LED on Buildings / walls, projections…
- Merging with Reality. e.g. natural history museum – film includes abstract elements from fossils, plant, animals….
- Audience is much more intelligent than you think. Just tell the story in your way, stay true to it. It can translate to others.
- Work in contrasting locations open new inspirations.
- Museums are collection and condensation spots of human knowledge. Easily resonate and create abstract representation of ideas.
- Projection Sculptures – creation of both projection and objects. Need both to work. Revitalize old structures, like adding soul to them
- Hysteresis – Covid, Feeling Torn, Feeling Tension Use AI to fuse renaissance style into dancer movements. AI is trained to be good at recognizing patterns (e.g. recognizing muscles – renaissance style) actively that regular filters can never do.
- Openness to interpretation of audience ideas may help, but the backbone should still be yours.
They are very useful for me as I can really resonate with and admire his work. I would love to create a piece that engages everybody, remain in their minds unconsciously, and closely related to the local environment. Especially after visiting the Großer Wasserspeicher, I really would like to aim for a project that utilizes the whole space with sound and light that people can interact with. It would be best if it can connect to the complex history and symmetric, circular topography of the place that gives echos.
