2. PROPOSAL
Title
“Glimpse”
Background
“Glimpse” is a project whereby, confronting the viewer of the capabilities that
images had. Among society, mostly, treat an image as a static object. The
concern is, they don’t even realize its true capabilities. From an image, a lot
that can be produce. One of it is the art of time -lapse. It is an art whereby, a
sequence of images is compiled together in order to come out with an artistic
works.
Aim
To provoke audience in distinguishing the capabilities of images through time -
lapse art. Also to provide the experience of being merge into the new world
within time constraint.
3. RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
Time-Lapse Concept
It is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured is
much lower that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed,
time appears to be moving faster & thus lapsing. Process that would normally
appear subtle to the human eye such as the motion of sun and stars in the sky,
become very pronounced.
It is interesting cause we can managed to compile stack of footages across
time, but the outcome is a phenomenon. Sometimes, the outcome is out of our
expectation.
The only problem is time constraint. It requires a lot of time to be spent in
order to come out with a great compilation of footages.
4. RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
Field-recording
Using the technique of photography, the footages can be captured. A few
enhanced technique also can be applied in order to come out with a jaw -
breaking output
The process of field-recording can execute almost on anything. It just that,
ensure the outcome of the field recording being able to produce a sequence of
images that create moving footages. Or else the outcome can’t be distinguish
by the viewer cause it might be hard to tell
With the availability of portable recording equipment, field recording turn out
to be easy. The only problem that is time consuming
5. RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
Equipment
to proceed with the ideas, a research had been made in order to identify the
equipment needed. first of all, “time lapse” footages can be gained by using
normal DSLR. that is the frequent way in gaining the footages. i crossed with
this new devices, which called “go pro”. it is a mini camera that is so small that
is impossible in believing its capability
“GO PRO CAMERAS”
go pro cameras are used by core enthusiasts than any other camera in the
world. its capability make it stands. one of the functions that available is “time
lapse mode”. this features is powerful. it capable of capturing every images in
every 0.5 seconds
6. RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
Precedence–study: Ar t Installation's Time-Lapsed Landscapes
Collapse Time & Change in Nature
Byproduct of the non-sustainable, modern lifestyle means that humans now
often perceive things in the short term , disconnected from an overall sense of
continuity and change, something that nature exemplifies best
Taking this limited aspect of modern human perception in mind, Japanese
artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi’s layered drawings is presented as a series of static
photographic scenes, put one after another in sequence that string together a a
story about natural change we can understand visually and simultaneously
7. RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
Precedence–study: Digital watch
Dimensions Variable. Two black and white video cameras, 50” rear projection
enclosed video monitor, custom electronics, watch. The work consists of a large
rear projection video monitor, a camera pointing at an analog pocket watch,
and a camera pointed at the viewer. Custom electronics combine a live image
of the pocket watch with a processed image of the viewers such that the live
image of the viewer is seen outside the area of the watch. Inside the area of
the watch is a staccato, five-second delayed image of the viewer
8. RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
Precedence–study: Memor y/Recollection
Dimensions variable. Black and white video camera, five CRTs, PC computer,
custom electronics. This work captures and displays a sequence of real-time
still images of the viewers and their environment, permanently storing some of
these images for later display. The frozen images slowly propagate to the right,
getting noisier and noisier as the stored images of past viewers are
interspersed with the live images
9. IDEA DEVELOPMENT
Projection
A single or two projectors can be use to create
projections. The reason why I’m having this idea is
to convey or attract people
10. IDEA DEVELOPMENT
LCD Display/Monitor
A single or two LCD display/monitor(s) can be use to
create visualization. The reason why I’m having this
idea is to convey or attract people
11. CONTEXTUAL STUDIES
Involved three types of context
Personal context
Wanted to share with others what can be achieved by manipulating an image
into something else
Social/Cultural context
Wanted viewer to understand the pattern of society’s daily life. How people
move, what they do, how they interact and etc. Also wanted audience to
understand image as a powerful tools.
17. FINAL SYNOPSIS
Glimpse is a project that use time -lapse video, compilation sequence
of images that tend to provoke audience in under standing the
capabilities of an image.
Each images has its own unique feature that can be manipulate into
variety of usage depending on the needs.
The idea is to compile a lot of images that can be used to create time -
lapse footages and use it to show the audience its relationship to
each other. User can experience urban phenomenon of dif ference
places and per spective.
This project aim is to provoke audience not to see an image as a
simple element. By injecting a manipulation towards it, a new things
can be develop. Also to encourage people to distinguish the
dif ferences between images and video footages.
