Term 3 workshops

Also, totally forgot to share some photos I have take on workshops from previous couple of weeks.
Each workshop was very interesting and inspiring,also helped a lot to understand the right way in making 100 outcomes on "The City" topic.Here are some outcomes I got on the workshops I liked the most.


Visualisation of sounds workshop. We were asked to come to the location and collect different sounds around us,remembering to mention how loud,how far and what kind of sound it was.Then in pairs we were visualising the map.




Rhymes workshop with Ben. Love this workshop, really gives you big space to think and express.I also like the topic of sounds so I have found the workshop engaging and fun. Second picture - "Invisible cities" workshop. All of us were given a piece of text about a city and asked to create a typeface for it.



"Utopia and Dystopia" workshop, as far as I noticed- the most popular one.At first we were making collages,to recreate the space and make it unusual.On the photo left city is mine and right is my classmate's Maria's.Next picture is landmark I have made in a group with Ingvar and Maria in Museum of London yard.It's meant to be a model of a big glass landmark with sightseeing balconies and flat escalators inside.

Wow,just wow!
While I was researching on cities constructions and looking for some ideas after today's workshop with Karl at Museum of London I spotted Theo Jansen's crazy creations.



"Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist with a background in science. For the last 15 years, he has been evolving a series of wind-powered animals, made of plastic tubes. When these constructions are fed by wind, they set into motion and transmute into organic-looking creatures; or beach-animals as Jansen calls them.
Theo Jansen received the Jury's Special Price in the Interactive Art category at Ars Electronica Festival 2005."(from http://www.artificial.dk/articles/theojansen.htm )


I find his work really inspiring.He actually loves his "creatures" and puts so much effort in this.It also really great to watch artist(or should I say constructor here?) in progress,how he comes up with idea and from a scratch creates an amazing creature.These constructions remind me of kind of Postapocalyptic or Steampunk themes,with mechanic creations,battle between humans(who somehow managed to survive) and its creations.I would love to see this in real life,must be amusing.
