This first tutorial was really useful; it clarified some of the thoughts I had had and gave me a new sense of direction for the project, while throwing in some new ideas and avenues to explore.
Brief: Vision of Sound
Area: Print
Area of Interest: Interiors
These are the things I should focus on next:
try scanning lace, invert colours to enable it to be put on screen for printing
do some traditional drawings of the lace
play with scale (draw big, scale up - projector, photoshop, photocopy)
connect the lace and responsive drawings; eg. I could apply responsive ones in a lace pattern or lace in a linear way. combine them somehow.
investigate alternative forms of notation; music, knitting, crochet, make some of my own?
look at Cornelius Cardew, a composer makes his own 'notes' and gives them to musicians to play
find a context - high end vs high street - eg timorous beasties vs. next - who would buy my work?
look at companies out there, see where they fit in.
look at marimekko, jab anstoetz (jab.de)
like timorous beasties play with old and new (the opposite of their approach - take something new, daft punk, and apply old techniques to it)
explore speed; sped up, slowed down etc
crochet with wire? new material old technique. black? though colours I found during summer work fine so don't have to use TRON colours
extra thought just now: could weave wire through the print, try flocking with shiny material? circuitry, lines, layers, futuristic feel, clean cut, contrast
