3d Video Experimentation




I made a short video in cinema 4d by creating a tunnel/square. I removed one of the sides in order to put the camera inside it and map the pictures where the walls are. That gives you the feeling that you enter into the space.

Kaleidoscope Effect - Device # 1


Alvin Langdon Coburn

Vortograph is the first completely abstract kind of photograph, shot through the prism of three pieces of glass, splitting the image into segments, creating strange and wonderful distortions.
Alvin Langdon Coburn invented vortography in 1917 and remained the principal advocate and practitioner of the technique.







I am really interested in this technique, it reminds me in a way the collage I made with the fragments. I decided to make an object and attach it on my phone in order to do something similar, I want to be able to take pictures and get the same effect as the one you get when you see the collage with all the perspectives.










Testing Time









I am not satisfied with the outcome I wanted the triangles to be bigger so that you get a better view, I think there's too much going on in the pictures and its a little bit confusing.
On the other hand I am pleased that there is the esthetics of perspectives due to the kaleidoscope effect.

Inspiration

 Kazuhiko Kawahara or Palla

“Where is the lost boundary area? The perspective of “daily scenery”, which is corrected by the grid, has been transferred into another dimension by some simple geometric manipulations, such as repetition for axis, rotation for center…etc. Images, which are generated by those manipulations, contain a metaphor that is hidden description for various events; the spectrum of the lost boundary area. The invisible world is concealed under the all-too-common cityscape, where all the places are linked, that is to say, an entire universe.” -

Zaha Hadid - Berlin 2007



 The exhibition’s curator, Kenny Schachter describes Hadid’s world-view as one in which ‘art, design, and architecture collapse into one another to reflect an all-encompassing way of life characterised by pushing and pulling the boundaries of aesthetics in every conceivable manner and form. What is so inspiring and intriguing about the astounding output of Zaha Hadid, is the imaginative, inventive and unquenchable expression of curiosity and creativity. Hadid defies pigeonholing in a world increasingly defined by uniformity.’




Holland Park


It was the first I went to Holland park and I immediately fell in love with it. It is so peaceful and quite there and has amazing views. The Japanese garden is wonderful and very relaxing. There are loads of paths and walk ways and hidden parts of this park which make it somewhat magical.
The photos i took show a range of buildings materials and the park itself.

Day N Night


 NightTime


Portobello at night time is like a completely different area. There is hardly any people walking on the streets and all the shops are closed apart from a couple of pubs. Nothing reminds the lively morning atmosphere.
