A Proposal ?

Hi all


From the beginning of stage 2 I have been playing around with what one could call ‘information visualization’ and pattern making. I am interested in using digital information and bringing into the material world.

Lately I’ve been interested in the effects text messaging has on communication especially the effects it has on the development of new relationships.

In the beginning of this year I got my first IPhone and was interested how ones text messages were archived into a stream of dialogue.  This became even more interesting to me once a new friendship began in early January where there was an everyday interaction via texts for an entire month.

The latest patterns I have been working on are originally text messages taken from the month’s interaction as I thought it was interesting to notice how language, tone & context changed over the month period of everyday texts.

Example of texts:




Example of texts made into pattern:



I’m very interested in domestic space and have previously used patterns to create wallpaper installations. I’m thinking of perhaps doing the same with these new patterns and creating a domestic space within the studio space. I read Jessica is thinking of doing something with wallpaper too and maybe there could be an interesting interplay here ?

Example of pattern as wallpaper:





Anyway, I just wanted to fill you in with where my heads at but I’ll be seeing you all Wednesday to discuss further. See you then.

Cecilie.
