Meeting Reflection: 1-1 with Sarah #1

Talked with Sarah 1-1 today for the first time. I showed some of my past installation works(very conceptual), live visual clips (purely aesthetic), and projects I did in LOWRES. We talked about how I want to bridge conceptual and aesthetic, getting back to installations/sculptures, bringing strong concepts/research/narrative into audiovisual performances. 

I have envisioned my thesis taking these possible forms:

-immersive cinematic audiovisual 

-explorable world (videogame)

-sculpture/interactive installation

(Having forms in mind might constrain research and possibilities. I will keep an open mind while doing research and be open to change forms.)

Sarah pointed out some common threads in the works I’ve been doing in this program: body parts, cybernetics, mortality, graveyards, mysticism, esoteric & technology. For my thesis I’d like to keep exploring these topics. 

Assignments:

-Use a project I recently did (Unity game Adam Diggler’s Grave) and translate it into 2 of the possible forms I envisioned. As an interactive installation and as an audiovisual performance.

-Read reviews written about other artists’ projects and performances and write a dream review for my project.
