Where is the Future now?

Behind the glitter of spectacular distractions, a tendency toward banalization dominates modern society the world over, even where the more advanced forms of commodity consumption have seemingly multiplied the variety of roles and objects to choose from. The vestiges of religion and of the family, along with the vestiges of moral repression imposed by those two institutions, can be blended with ostentatious pretensions of worldly gratification precisely because life in this particular world remains repressive and offers nothing but pseudo-gratifications. Complacent acceptance of the status quo may also coexist with purely spectacular rebelliousness — dissatisfaction itself becomes a commodity as soon as the economy of abundance develops the capacity to process that particular raw material.

Recap

Consolidate


Am i now aiming to work in 2D within spaces? Is an interaction necessary? If so then why? Unfold. Augment viewing artwork.


Grouping? Clusters to construct narrative.


Construct narrative. Work on titling.


What are the various possibilities of presentation?


How do i integrate a one clear concept into the presentation. Extract Motif.


How can i establish space? To view under a context?


What is my second trigger? Audio. Video. Animation. Interactivity. Object to image relativity.


How do i balance out the ambiguous? The abstraction. How much can you reveal to the viewer? Challenge viewing?


Structure. How can structure define the above?


Can the illustrations work as support to another interface?


Themes


Powerplay


Birthing. Who nurtures who?


Institution.


Yearning


Revival


Rebellion


Grids


Talking to Baba


You should know the turning point in your narrative.

What is the frame that tells the viewer the switch? have i identified that?

Can i identify that?

What is the half truth told to you in the dark?


The product can be A B / C grade but the box always has to be A grade because thats what communicates.


Piggy bank - Daan Peti - Vote Box - Bribe Box

transitions. Talking about boxes then and now. How they have changed in form and in meaning.

Playing with the ideas of form.


Talking about a play between the illustrations. What happens when you split up the image? What is the relation between the two elements and what humour can be brought about there? It would be a video installation.


What happens when people sit within the box. Similar to the idea of the spectacle. Create mad chairs for the viewer to sit with their heads in a box and view.
