Public Space Discussion Videos

We didn't get to see:

University Library Bremen

• Library: The random results of the inquiries release corresponding visuals of text and pictures which cause curiosity for the various activites in the library. The media sculpture highlights the abundance of the mental processes, which take place simultaneously in the library. The retrieval inquiries result in new collages of visuals of text and pictures, which form an aesthetic translation of the search procedure. The searched words, then, fill the pool of data at the ground of the stairway.

IMAGINATION // ABSTRACTION

Make a 1min max sketch video that utilizes ABSTRACTION

Choose 1 of the following strategies as the focus of your abstraction:

-COLOR: (monochrome, contrast, painterly texture, digital color, found color vs. created color, etc.)
-MOVEMENT: (moving camera or moving subject or movement in edit, etc)
-FRAMING: (frame your subject in ways that abstract the form, how does frame shift context, focus, detail, etc)
-SOUND: (matching or discontinuous with image or both? spatial, descriptive, found sound, ambient noise/ field recordings, etc.)
-SCALE: how the subjects/ objects relate proportionally and how this transforms the object/subject, what vantage points, views/ ways of seeing are explored/layered, etc)
-LIGHTING: (how can lighting distort, augment, transform our visual perception of a space, person, motion, etc)

These are all examples, please be IMAGINATIVE about something you want to abstract and think of new creative ways to do it with the tools of video and editing. Challenge yourself!
