Assignment 0.2 | Haptic Modeling

Part I | Modeling

You are to create a series of gestural models related to the topics; rhythm, structure and melody. These models are intuitive models that are quick and responsive to the topic. The selection of materials is very important. You will need to establish some degree of correlation between words and materials. Be creative and not obvious. Avoid all temptation to stop and judge what you are doing. Instead engage in the making fully with your body and mind. You should produce at least 5 total haptic models for each topic.

You are to relate the models to the recent documentary on techno music, Modulations: Cinema for the Ear.

Your haptic models are to be created out of recycled material. The key component to this modeling is to acquire a hot glue gun. Be creative in your selection of materials and work to layer materials to create interesting compositions.

Part II | Photo Capture of Haptic Models

Proceed to photograph your models. Document the model and obtain design rich (i.e. charged with layered spatial potential) images. Obtain enough pictures to allow for multiple readings of the model. Unexpected views often are the most rewarding. Avoid easy and obvious takes. Photograph these models on different settings, in different lighting and avoid grounding the model in space.

Capture digitally several images (at least 15 per model) that you find searching for tectonics, light and space. Keep all images on a library on your computer and load six of your best images onto your blog.
