Week 2 – Please bring:
- Ideas for both assignments. Nothing has to be concrete yet – but you do need to be thinking about them.
- 3 Videos (phone recorded is fine) – 1 featuring onscreen movement, 1 featuring high contrast, and 1 featuring a range of colours. Minimum length 10 second each.
- 3 x Photos (including one of a black and white illustration)
Describe your idea for the final project –
– What is it?
– How does it enhance the shape, colour, geometry and materials – of your physical model, and the surrounding environment?
Describe your idea for the assignment one – a minute of video and motion graphics over time –
– How does it explore time?
– What is the concept behind it?
– How would it relate to your final project idea?

Subject Relevant Exhibitions Closing Soon
Free Audiovisual Exhibition at ACMI: Philippe Parreno’s ‘Thenabouts’ (CLOSES on Mar 13)
“For his first solo exhibition in Australia, Philippe Parreno presents a singular retrospective of his filmic works as a cinematic ensemble.
In Thenabouts the artist’s films play with temporal and spatial boundaries, guiding the visitor through a complex journey of images, duration, and memory. The experience is controlled live by a gallery technician and no two visits are ever the same….
…Parreno merges reality and fiction to produce exhibitions that radically challenge our notions of reality and the passage of time”
REALTIME by MIYANAGA AKIRA at NGV (Closes Apr 17, also FREE)
“Japanese contemporary artist Miyanaga Akira.. is known for mesmerising moving image works constructed from film footage taken from everyday life. Fragments filmed in both urban and rural areas of Japan – from crowds moving through subways to light gently falling over rice fields – are enmeshed together into visually compelling sequences. Using time-lapse techniques and processes of splicing, rearranging and superimposing, Miyanaga’s experimental views of the world move poetically between realism and abstraction.” (Maybe worth seeing alongside the David Hockney exhibition, which also closes on Mar 13)
