                                      Aware Themes


   


Here are some themes that I was interested in. over the summer I was Influence by a Documentary series called Dark Tourist, which is about David Travelling to unusual and Dangerous places in the world, for example he went to Tomioka, which was evacuated during the Fukushima nuclear disaster, wherein he discovers higher than expected levels of radiation and to Cyprus, where he tries to sneak in to Famagusta, a walled off ghost city. watching this made me think about what radiation does to the Environment and does it effect the whole world?

Air pollution


Then I started to look at pollution and how we are effected like air pollution effects Asthmatic people and  may also trigger asthma as small particles in the air can pass through your nose or mouth and get into your lungs. ... The particles can make asthma worse. Both long-term and short-term exposure can cause health problems such as reduced lung function and more asthmattacks. city are mostly effect and as the city is getting bigger they are knocking trees and taking the land to build new buildings as it is good for the Economy not for the environment. 

Antarctic ice melting

Then I looked at other way pollution has hit us so i looked up on how the Ice in the Antarctic is melting at a record-breaking rate and the subsequent sea rises could have catastrophic consequences for cities around the world and how it effects us and the Animals that live in the Antarctic. 

Ideas for art installation piece 


   

Idea 1

Clean breathing 


Here is my first idea which is this room which is filled with smoke and loud sounds of cars and city life. In the Centre of this room there will be a huge tree that will have oxygen masks Connected to the tree and hooks to put the masks on. I really want people to Interact with this space and around the tree.

Idea 2

Toxic rain


Here is my 2nd idea which is a block of ice and colourful rain drops falling on the ice. the colours rain will be the colours that show up in the thermal images of Antarctica

- I was still think about a space that Draws you in visually (so colour and patterns) mesmerising.almost Hypnotising and then it becomes jarring or have sound that will kind of want people to leave or Vibration - I kept Experimenting with patterns and playing around with Mirroring patterns and speed. when playing around with Reversing the patterns and sound it made me think of The Beatles -When I talked with Kathleen she spoke about telepath, Zener cards and mind control  I then watched a Short documentary about how in the Future the idea of using your mind to Control things. Brain cells communicate to each other by firing off tiny chemical and electric signals and when you think of something like disappear a particular pattern of brain waves are generate and thats what the head set picks up.But the head set at the Moment is imperfect as echo of the waves. This made me think about ... Marcus Lyall - On your wavelength ...

Here we went for a walk around Farnham to observe what was around us and taking photos of the area. I like this as it made me go and explore new areas that I haven't been before. I took a lot of photos in colour and Monochrome. I like how the when I took a photo of the same object or place it changed the way you viewed or felt about it. Some of the photos turned out ok and the others not so much. Here are some not so good photos that I took …. Here are the ones that I thought where Successful.....
