Live Forum Google Hangout – 26 August, 2018

Just some very quick notes to serve as reminders. I did not submit anything for feedback on this forum.

In attendance were Alan, Chloe, Kate, Peter, Julia, Clive and myself.

1. Peter: C&N Assignment 3 self portraiture assignment. Video created out of PowerPoint. Silhouettes. Background – tomb-like – Egyptology theme. Choices – influences. Associations with colour – blue represents infinity. Some had reservations about the music – felt as if it was choreographed which seems to make the music the main focus. Suggested to turn it into Egyptian-like drawings and present as a lenticular work. Suggested that the title “judgement” be parred away to leave it more open. There is nothing rational about the objects used. Clive advised to learn Premier Pro, others suggested Vimeo and Windows Movie Maker.
2. Kate: WIP – personal project of other people’s underwear. Photograms of panties and bras. Ubiquitous at real life size. Had a forensic feel – typology. More veracity as a document – unique images. No negative to make other copies from. Clive confirmed that it is OK to put photograms in for assessment.
3. Julia: photos on material – Clive suggested to fold it up and put in a portfolio – looks like a Turin shroud – very effective.

It was quite inspiring to see these works in progress and the different methods of presentation. I shall have to see how I can vary my presentation methods.
