Byunhwa

A group school project done by eight people from Department of Media in Aalto Arts in the beginning of autumn 2013. It is an art piece that was shown in exhibition in Design Forum Gallery among other student works. The theme of the exhibition was Metamorphosis.

The work we did based on my idea about people repeating same drawing over and over. The next person will only see what the last person did. The audio is done in the same way too.
Here is the video and a more precise description of our work:


 


변화 – Byun Hwa

Information will always change through repetition. Either our imagination or memory will trick us.

Over 100 people were asked to repeat the drawing the previous person did, and to repeat the word the person before them said. The transforming drawings were made into an animation and the pronunciations of the word were made into the soundtrack.

The starting point is the korean word for change, 변화. It is abstract to most of us, so it looses its original meaning soon, but the repeaters unintentionally give it other meanings.

What?

I wanted to create a blog for all that interesting stuff I do at school and in my free time.

So this is NOT really a portfolio, this is more like a collection of everything inspiring and creative I've been doing.
