Almost done, final stuff to try: disposition and support The other day (mmmmmonday?) final tests, not a lot new stuff tbh For final project, small details to check: -> base structure + dispo° Final thoughtsCould be improved A LOT
Like a lot the idea so probs keep using it, just improvements to be made, idk what exactly but I'll find out! -> some things change: pics to print, not too dark, maybe just extremities all same modif or sth, when normal pic not very easy to see tho idea too blurry to see it and have to look at pics to understand quite like it Let's see how it goes :)

LICA C15: perfect room for project -> dark room but white walls Some experiments done, interestg results etc. buuuuuuuuuuut now what to do and how to use space???? Tried different sources of light => some failure - goodbye money :'( - some beautiful :o So, what to do? welp w/ lamp great, idea came to replace lamp shade w/ wire structure
How to use the space tho? !!! -> probs not only one in room, don't take all space!! Corner seems intg: possty two walls and distortion shadow in corner Pb are electric sockets, will probs bother... tables? or small table especially for this? like lower OR use floor, install white surface? try it next time.. Below: where possty installation -> try also add small white walls or rampes pour exploiter le plus poss l'espace Next project: still mem *yay* -> this time linking mem and biolgql aspects (neurones, mem process, etc) Inspired by Irene Rice Pereira = somehow geometrical paintings made me think of neurones and how linked to each other ??? mind blowing -> first, idea of paintings -> volume (wire) = that's the one I'm doinnnnng *tl tl*
BOLTANSKI - top -> 'Théâtre d'ombres' = great source of inspiration!!! analyse how use of space for shadows and shit For now, pics print them, do difft sculpture of difft sizes and try it out on C15 w/ lights + BUY LIGHTS OF COURSE
Use MDF tiles (A4) after workshop (love texture and shit) Manip pic w/ paint (acrylq & watercolour), different effects poss and stuff Result of transfers2 transfers per side A4 See effects poss w/out modifying w/ paint = edges scratchy (gloss gel not applied properly I guess), holes in middle of transfer, unable to scratch all paper, or complete failure so give up on scratching abort mission -> id of scratching reminds me of digging inside mind to recall sth + physical effort, and sometimes failure to scratch // to effort recall sth that you know is in head and shit B/W pics (the cut ones) at first used for collg so figs cut out Smaller size (like really small) just to see what I can do with it mwahahaha, kind of unrecognisable cus blank space too big I guess? Use of acrylqTry w/ acrylq to see poss effects -> w/ gloss gel and/or water makes it more see through - piano pic, can help enhance lines or elemts of pic -> opq acrylq to enhance lines or sth, paintg over elements to sorta reshape them? -> opq acrylq as well for filling blank spaces Max filter photoshop style, perhaps larger scale for smaller squares? and find way remove brush strokes, apply paint w/ knife or sth Some tests acrylq under transfer to see if it works AND IT DOES *yay* -> Possty paint under transfer and maybe see if overlap in a way that fits? Not very clear idea, but soon shall be.. -> on tests: half paint half no, kinda like directly on MDF cus of colour and texture, less normal pic more like erased or sth In gnl more interestg to work on original pic rather than modified (eg watercolour below).. And yeah basically just reshape img like reshape mem and stuff.. With watercolourTbh there's just one Not so good w/ pic below (original photoshoped img on right) especially bcause of blur -> try rather w/ pic colours changed (either B/W or as in test RGB to HSB) and paint on it => basically crucial elemts of photo paintd w/ watercolour (thick tube one, not pan): control thickness!! + w/ water and fluidity watercolour possty create nice texture to paintd areas, reviens au projet mem et villes fantômes My fav <3 Not transfer but still testPaint directly on printed picture
-> at 1st just like souligner lines and stuff, only 2 colours (blue and red), dark and lighter for each, enhance light and shadow on photo Then black paint w/ tissue to create sort of stamps and stuff -> crucial info in photo disfigured, not able to recognise => frustration of oubli and effort of recalling and shit, don't know if try on transfer or not tho (maybe just for surface MDF) Poss collage and stuff, also modify pics digitally -> photoshop!!! Id of changing pics, look more mem like (not clear, elements modified, ect) + also shape them to look like I want them to be - id of shaping mem de man arrangeante On this one (right modif) use of Maximum and Gaussian Blur filters -> Max very interest filter: makes it look like sorta cubq paintg but more figtv and as if objv to blur image = interestg try original pic on transfer, paint in Max way on it? Shapes still recognisbl tho.. like figs and shit Custom filter, no idea how it works... random numbers modify pic -> if + numbers: enhance & expand brightness (+red I guess..?) -> if - numbers: seems to darken pic in really weird way, like with sort of dots and shit Still interestg tho, especially + numbs = reminds of flash, and sorta blurry as well idk
Custom and Maximum filters Max tres leger, and custom makes figs (espclly faces) pop out -> kinda ghostly or sth.. => poss link w/ thing of cut ppl from pics, or elements to make pic incomplete: instead, cutting rest but keeping modified figs instead, or elemts of fig Maximum and Emboss
-> Emboss interestg filter: makes it look sharper and perhaps more digital? idk but yeah fascinating + figs of children disappear, blend into backgd -> maybe mem by blending elemts togth? Project édition reuse pics for collage -> mixture édition & affiches = collge un peu intuitif/instinctif, voir ce que ça donne et refaire avc essais etc + impression finale sur papier couleur voire transparent?
At first mostly on how ppl process & expce mem, now looks more surrealist -> how ppl expce mem as how we recall stuff, what details we remember and stuff = how we MANIPULATE our mems!!! mind blown So, mixture mem and dreams and imagination, how I manip my mems by manipg photos childhood -> creatg own story out of it (see one w/ bro)
After collg, plusieurs idées
-> Use transfer as well, either on its own or transfer + paint and stuff -> modifier pics w/ photoshop for expl = mix pictures, melt them togth, blur them, etc -> manip them manually (scratch, burn, rip, etc) W/ each manip° use final pic for transfer or manip it w/ paint? After paint workshop: love modeling paste & gloss gel!! + id of transfer interestg method for mem + use new objects for paint (plastq spoon, knife, etc.)
Expt° modlg paste -> use for mem
Persl mem? yas, maybe w/ pics again, reusg project édition => maybe how mem transformed, how to trigger them, mix mem & imagina°/dreams, etc... Abandoned small garden between Peter Scott gallery and Ash House Computer Lab -> what's in there? Many people don't notice it or forget it's there -> that's why it's interesting: how was it, what did ppl do in there, when was it created & for what purpose??? I took a look inside mwahahaha -> bit creepy but quite fascinating and mysterious, as if whole other world in there Wooden old piano, table and sort of mirror, small couch, lots of tags etc.... + white paintg mostly (works repaint place??) -> no id wt ppl did there, why a piano?? why shut now?? Maybe use place for project: how ppl remember this place, use their memories & expce in place instd of mine
-> maybe with découpage and superposition w/ memories beneath --> make series w/ difft memories // to difft pics?? or one big mixing stuff? à voir After visiting the exhibition Horizon at Le Magasin CNAC, Grenoble (France) a couple of artists inspired me for different pojects
"Ce temps mort inscrit entre deux moments d’activité montre une mise hors tension du corps dans le paysage qui l’entoure. Ces personnages se délitent et apparaissent à l’image de manière spectrale, comme partant en poussière."
Continuation memories, past, and time project (mixing both) -> still using watercolour DEEPEN THE PROJECTS
For new project: try to mix both -> from lost places, what do we remember abt them?? making them more blurred and shit + how come some places forgotten and others no (eg tourism)? -> histcl value? histcl past? WHYYY
