How to display toiles Need to create a number of 1/2 scale mannequins... Make a mould of current one and cast plaster ones? - straightforward, heavy, cheap, messy, safe. 3D print? - modelling program learn, time consuming, expensive? unknown outcome lazer cut cardboard - modelling program learn, laser cut time consuming. unknown outcome explode paper diagrams via pekala paper engineering program? https://medium.com/@CarolinVogler/fabricating-human-shapes-6854cb14aef7
major Project3 (methods and methodology)
Methods - specific ways of collecting the “Data”... what are the processes of discovery? Methodology - The way these methods combine or work together to give an overall view of the research or an answer to the research questions... What system are you using to get the method discovery processes to fit together to give a big picture? Methods Creative Practice - design and making up specific garments. Filming and documenting process. Expert Interviews Reading/lectures Archives Methodologies The analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and postulates employed by a discipline - what is cutting? What is creativity? What is pattern? Holistic approach - looking at connections and development between science and art, man and machine. Creative Practice explores relationship between the artist and machine through physical creation and problem solving of pattern making. Qualitive analysis by looking at the documentati...
major project 2 (plans plans plans)
"Kandinsky" Collaboration with Deepart (J.Hewitt 2018) Best way to get started on something is just to start. so I sat down with the DeepArt IO and doodled exhaustively, using a combination of the basic silhouettes devised with C. Peacey and some vintage pattern blocks to reference the "rules" and history of cutting. I feel there are varying levels of "success" in these. They may or maynot fulfil prerequisites for computational creativity. I think they are certainly aesthetically pleasing rather than simply novel, but how far the algorithm itself is part of the aesthetic evaluation process I need to investigate further. Many are absolutely stunning images, and were I a fine artist who had painted them or had I written the Deepart Program myself they would easily be worthy of submission as my finished pieces. However, I am a pattern cutter and I didn't write the program, it is simply a design starting point for my 3D pattern creation exercise. ...
