100 words explanation

With my mother’s letter, I curated my life into a 30-second video. I tried to keep the final outcome personal to match my theme of reminiscing, memories, and written time. I think a letter is one of the most personal of all writings. Especially, the contents of hand-written letters are only shared within a writer and a recipient. So I used a part of my mother’s letter to edit the video as if she reminisced her kid’s life while writing it. This is not yet a complete version, and my final goal is to make up for the less legible part because the typing speed is too fast. To complete the video without an incomprehensible part, I will need to lengthen the video and use the full letter.

My final work is a short illustration story of my journey throughout these four weeks, mostly focusing on the curate week. After watching the Netflix series “The Midnight Gospel”, I was thoroughly inspired to encapsulate certain themes such as philosophies upon discovering the truth of life and their style in my illustrations. Turning my curate week of exhibiting my collage creatures around my bedroom to a broader lens, from bedroom to the universe. I pushed the idea of “bringing life into the objects” quite literally in this illustration, hope you enjoy!

I quite like my collect and catalogue projects, I decided to make a website for those three weekly project I’ve done as a combinational system.

Every task have different meaning to me, collect represents me In a outline or summary way, Catalogue is just like my personal stories and hobbies. Curate is the lockdown life, every day the weather are different when I look the outside world from my window.

Curating an exhibition in terms of organizing data using categories suchas location and time, S(h)elf Identity explores the nostalgic value of objects in the form of gifts from whom they are connected, to the memories connected to them. This exhibition is a collection of myself in an interactive format, showcasing the things I am interested in. 

The cubes in the shelf can be clicked to reveal hidden categories, in which each object can also be clicked, taking the viewer to a more in-depth look at the items on display. Created using Adobe XD I

journey map

For this week’s task, I decided to combine and develop my past ideas and present them in the form of a digital lab report.

The link below is my ‘map’ but I wasn’t 100% sure of what I was doing here so I tried to explain the key points of each week. My overall statement for it is that I think the first week was rough, and I didn’t really have a clue. But after that I found my feet and understood what I was doing and that I needed to just start making things in order for ideas to come. Which they did, and I’m pleased with my outcomes in the end!

I feel like I’ve made big progress throughout the four weeks of the project. Starting as a semi-random collection of items, it narrowed down to the aspect of athletics and self-care in times of isolation.
The systematization and cataloging were rather easy since all the items were somehow connected to the subject of fitness and make-shift gym. The visual narrative underwent some serious iterations.
I felt like I had to keep pushing myself beyond the usual boundaries of visual delivery. It was a challenge to deconstruct and twist the usual perception of familiar objects.
The fringe idea of a video delivery was too far fetched in terms of technical abilities but remained in my mind.
Influenced by the Videodrome (1983) movie, I connected the fact that this new reality eventually becomes translated through screens. We connect via zoom and other digital platforms where our physical work becomes homogenized in the united digital substance. What’s on the screen becomes real and what’s real becomes the screen. Here is the link to the outcome.
