So finally my project has been defined.
…let me say that again, - Finally! -
But of course, not everything is alegria and felicidad. The project as it is defined at the moment is technically challenging. VERY technically challenging. This means that the things I’ve been focusing on lately is on how to make this bit less [...]
Major Project?
Saturday, 20 October, 2007 - 13:09
Is not a secret at this stage, but I still don’t know what my major project is going to be about. I am a bit worried about that, because is not something I’ve been putting off, I have actually been trying to come up with something for the past two weeks. I decided to write about this to see if from the chaos in my head comes some order which could help me find something interesting I can work on with.
-The Premises-
1) I am aware I don’t have to do something groundbreaking. But it definitely have to be something that interest me, that way I am sure I’ll keep working on it as much as I can.
2) I am aware originality is actually quite difficult, but you can definitely get inspiration from other works, or simply try to re-do something with you own spin on it.
3) In my search from inspiration I’ve come across something I was not considering before. I think I want to do an installation and not a website or application. This is not written in stone, but is something I am definitely exploring and I think it would be something very interesting for me to do. I also like the fact that it ends up being something more tangible than a website.
4) One of the things I’ve been researching is using computers and photographic cameras. This, I am very interested in.
5) I’d like for the user to be able to interact in a more natural way with whatever piece I do. Maybe voice, maybe gestures… basically anything out of mouse/keyboard or a touchscreen would be very interest to explore. Still, I can’t decide on this
-The Idea?-
I think I better break this post into two or threee. . . more to come in a bit.

Death Before Disko
