civic exhibition

This is an image showing eve using the nature of imagination.

civic exhibition

 today I went to visit the civic gallery. The first thing I came across was that there were  some small activities that you could do such as create a small animation and a Zoetrope.

I thought these were a really good Idea to include as it shows you how you can create them yourself with instructions given. 

Also, all of the work in the exhibition, you were able to include yourself in each piece as they were motion sensored. 

These are some examples of the work in there.

This piece of art is called wing/face impossible art. It is an animation that will capture a sequence of images of people's faces that allows you to see your face on a different body. 

This piece of art is called calavera space cadets air design. It represents a human scull, which is used in the Mexican day of the dead celebration. It is a giant inflatable calavera, which when you walk under neath it's arch, you trigger a motion sensor and change the pattern on its eyes.  

This piece is my favourite as it allows you to create your own pattern. It is called SYNCHRONIcITY created by Michele Panegrossi and AYE AYE interactive experiences. It was inspired by italo Calvinos invisible cities and the castle of crossed destinies. It explores imagination and the imaginable in an interactive way, as when you move your hand over the piece of art work, it changes the colour of it so you can create your own patterns. This would be preserved by not allowing people to touch it and maybe having a casing round it so that it was still interactive but no one would be able to break or damage it. I would describe this as fun, enjoyable, interactive, creative and unique. If I could talk to the artist I would ask if they had the chance would they change there idea of it and why.

This piece is called the nature of imagination by David urwin. You sit behind the screen and put on the virtuality headset to view an imaginary world full of nature. So it is a two in one piece of art as while your moving, the Skelton copies your movement.
It aims to explore how people don't really think about what's going on in people's minds to make them act the way they do.
