notation 3 - Body in movement as defined by space and activity

You are to draw your body in motion. using GPS and audio/video. Your notation will describe the activity of the body and the space that it occupies, defines, is defined by. You are to choreograph the set up in a way that allows you to be analytical.

You may depart and/or reinterpret these examples. They are meant to get you thinking. Keep it simple, yet exploratory. Be rigorous in your thinking. Consider the potential of the tools you will be using and of your body as both a drawing instrument and the subject under analysis. The notation is to be around 30 and 90 seconds but as related to the length of the activity/ movement.

notation2: hallway

In this notation I explored the traditional hallway as an architectural condition. The lack of natural daylight and dependency on artificial lighting leads to a displaced sense of time. This notation is influenced by CT scans by transitioning through different "slices" of activity (represented by light) over time. Throughout the notation, lighting alters the space as activities occur, thus changing how it is perceived.

notation 2 - CT-scan

You are to reference projection drawing (architecture), moving image (cinema) and radiology (medicine) to create CT scan as a dissection of both time and space.

Use your idea of notation 1 (section) as a point of departure by reinterpreting it or developing it. Focus on the revealing of the interiority of a space and its activity.

To consider (you don’t have to consider all, choose one or two):
qualitative and quantitative
Place and event
Physical and ephemeral
Abstract and realistic
Objective and subjective
Static and active

Keep it simple, yet exploratory. Be rigorous in your thinking. Reference CT scan as multiple “slices” (axial step and shot acquisition, cine acquisition, multislice…). The notation is to be between 30 and 90 seconds but consider length and time break down carefully. Time is a measuring system. Structure the notation in a measured manner adding graphics that mark data specific to each slide.

Notation 1

This video represents an architectural section that is influenced by the activities and actions that occur within the space. These activities occur because of the personal priorities, hobbies and habits of the occupants as well as the interactions with the physical environment that contains them. This living section documents the ephemerality of life and the comparisons between the more fleeting nature of human beings to the more constant nature of the surrounding architecture . It also shows how the ebb and flow of the human life affects the nature and mood of the unwavering, established surroundings and make it more transitory.

notation 1 - A Section

A Section

You are to reference Architectural projection drawing and moving image and create Section as a dissection of both time and space.

To consider (you don’t have to consider all, choose one or two):
qualitative and quantitative
Place and event
Physical and ephemeral
Abstract and realistic
Objective and subjective
Static and active

Keep it simple, yet exploratory. Be rigorous in your thinking. Reference the meaning of section as an idea… a section, a segment, a fragment, a view within - physical and temporal. The notation is to be between 30 and 90 seconds but consider length and time break down carefully. Time is a measuring system.
