project concept -

for my project i have gone from my first image of the creation of energy boy as my starting point and have developed it into an overlapping of around 20 drawings, each being one frame. then the layers of drawings will change order, be removed and be added in different ways so as to be animated but the drawings will be unclear. im also going to have them flicker and have some effects so as to give it a kind of old film style. the drawings will be in black and white ink and be scenes from a section showing the creation of energy boy. the loop will last for a limited time.

evolution

energy -

energy has evolved side by side with technology, in my project one of the ideas i want to explore is the next step in energy evolution. this is where energy boy comes into it as the 1st experiment in fusing humans with energy in some way. in this he is created as an experiment which is where frankenstein concepts came to mind and began to tie in.


information -

the other main aspect im looking at in my project stems from the evolution of energy in the pixel, as information and how information has changed because of this. as information is so easily accessible to us all the time all around us have we become desensitized to it simply because of the sheer volume of data we are confronted with. apparantly the average viewing time for a piece of art is 30 seconds...

frankensteins monster

using pilfered body parts, dark sciences and massive amounts of energy victor frankenstein created a living being. after then being rejected by his creator the monster then went after acceptance and revenge.

this story explores creation and consequences, experimenting and technology and acceptance in society.

evolution of energy/ evolution of information

using the creation of energy boy as my starting point for the ideas of the advancing of energy and technology, exploring ideas from dr frankensteins monster which also tie into these themes.

- evolution and creation
- experimenting with energy and humanity
- consequences of experimentation

im also looking at the evolution of energy as information

- interpretation of information
- volume of information
- attention span and desensitisation

from the spark to the pixel -

aspects of energy; fire, light, electricity, pixel.

these are things which dominate our every facet of our lives, integrated into every layer of the human world. we expend and consume them voraciously to sustain our needs.
