experiment # 1 – Whispering Strings

Incentives for experiment # 1 was to get started, and get going, along with the actual ones. Classmates gave me an assignment for upcoming weekly meeting, – to have a video to show, covering the experiment.

I have had thoughts, images, of a living entity, something to carry with you, for example on the shoulder. As a parrot… the experiment build in some extent on design program flash mobs… some elements are the same, as living entity, perhaps mascot, but the outcome does not go well with surprise, smile and “shock light”, extracted qualities from the flash mob.

Feedback on video:

• poetic
• association to an animal, something alive, though it was made of synthetic material
• association to nature

Outcomes for me:

• good feeling to get started
• a context for experiment would have given me more
• angle working from material vs context/ situation / theme not a contradiction, ok to experiment with material, get inspired from it, but add a frame of some kind
