Graphic Design 1 & 2

function setup() {   createCanvas(1280, 720); } function draw() {   background(255,48,84);    stroke(255);   line(250,0,90,height);   if(mouseIsPressed ==true) {     stroke(0,255,0);     line(255,0,100,height);     line(1,0,600,height);     line(600,0,1,height);     line(0,400,width,100);   }   line(0,70,width,50);   line(255,0,100,height);   stroke(0,0,255);   line(100,0,50,height);   line(0,90,width,100);   line(0,300,width,100);   line(50,0,350,height);     line(0,0,width,height);   line(width, 0, 0, height);   fill(255,226,76);   ellipse(width/2, height/2, 60,60); }

I found this video fascinating for many reasons. Coding is just a digital sketch book where you can put your ideas quickly on the “page”. Rather than just sketching it on pieces of paper, your sketches can become something like said in the film such as a movie or a sculpture. While listing to all the interviews during this film they all had some similar things to say about coding. They all had interest on what you can create with coding and not just sketching on regular paper. Another thing I found fascinating was all the work that was created through code that they gave as an example. My favorite example was the Flocking Tutorial by Robert Hodgin (2010). It was almost a simulation of a flock of birds and their flight path. I have always thought it was strange how birds fly in groups. Now looking at the Hodgins work it gave me an idea of what path a bird might take in a flock. Towards the end of the video, they showed us how to incorporate sound with a common song called Daisy Bell. Wh...

 

 Since I didn't finish my project all the way I have work to do to finish it. As we were going through other classmates projects I learned things that can be useful to put towards my project to help me finish. After talking with the professor during my critique he gave me ideas of what the "theme" could be. I am going to put pictures of my sketches in with gifs and sounds to give the viewer an idea of what my thoughts look like when I am sketching. 

The beginning was a bit confusing but after reading the article I noticed how it relates to what we have been talking about with Assignment 2. As Caption Liddell Hart was on his way to the the garden he mentions a couple things on his journey. "Music came from the pavilion and it was Chinese, and that is why I had accepted it fully", was one give away because we have been talking about signs that gives us clues. He heard the music and felt comfortable and so he knew it was safe. Another give away was he was saying how he doesn't remember if there was a bell, push button, or clapping my hands attracted attention for the music. Those are all signs that give us clues on what we should do based on our thoughts in the moment. It would influence new artist by giving them ideas of what they can do based on a persons thoughts about what they experienced. 

Psychogeography allows you to have an opinion about a certain space while being present in that space. Also can be known for the way of reading or a viewing a map of a city. While reading, in the article talks about the contemporary practitioners take their cue from Debora. Listing off artist who took that idea such as Giovanni Piranesi's in his piece called, labyrinthine stairways. Looking at the piece I can see where it follows the psychogeography because looking at it I almost want to follow the stairways almost like a map. This type created a new form to reveal certain structure. While thinking about this way it is kind of confusing but to me I can't think I have to be able to see what I am supposed to be thinking about. Having that visual in-front of you helps the mind process what is being looked at.
