I had a great conversation with Sarah last night. First, I told to Sarah that I wrote detailed impact and “why” of my thesis topic. I wanted the thesis could be a reminder for me and visitors. When we get negative emotion, we can remember the scene manifested in my thesis so we can better adjust our mentality. Then, I told my process so far to Sarah. I am doing two parts of research, and the first part is learning generative art code and algorithm by reading The nature of Code. The second part is doing research on rendering or shader in Unity. I had tested flocking behaviour and random displacement of vertex of 3d model in Unity, furthermore, I will list a series of behaviors by the order of importance. I will try to accomplish them one by one. The most important thing for me is making it work in current stage. Also, I will try to make simple shader effect based on different characteristic of “six root delusions” at the beginning stage.
After talking with Sarah, she suggested me to make a storyboard about the flow of users experiencing the thesis. She also asked me to consider what is the context of the thesis? During the conversation, Sarah suggested me many artists or art projects I might be interested in. I hope one of the artists she recommended to me could be my thesis mentors, which could be possible.
