Olivia

This final processing piece plays with the video I made of my sister, both called “Olivia”. I tried to transfer similar colour schemes and also the ‘obsessive’ feel of the video. Other elements I worked to include were a) the juxtaposition of her face and mine (found if you click the mouse) and b) the opaque pink roses (represented by the animated pink circles). I think this piece is most effective in its ability to answer the prompt’s call to literally translate one medium into the next.

Assignment #6- Processing Portrait

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

For my portrait I wanted to create a photorealistic representation that played with the idea of code as an abstracted form for representation.  This is why the image relies on the visual pun of “blue eye” to show that the visual “picture” and “text” are simply structures subject to and created by a code that creates forms, both visual, that convey the same meaning.

Assignment 6: Into the Background

The concept behind my rather primitive piece is based on the hypothetical question, ‘what if ones allegedly most defining features (in this case, my glasses) weren’t there?’  The text reads ” What if even my glasses didn’t help me see in 3D/ or stop me from sinking into the background / two one none”, capturing both my frustration with not being able to actually make the piece 3D and also the very fading into the background the character fears.
