Final Product!



 Projection on the floor

 Gone through a lot fixing the angle of the reflected mirror.





 Final poster and brochure.

Poster/Brochure trials.
 Testing the angle to reflect onto the floor.

 Estimating the size of the projection

 Projection is clear.

 Proceed to sew the black cloth.

 Very long black cloth indeed.


Mood board for poster/brochure design







Solving technical problems.
Like how to direct the projection onto the floor without tempering with the school projector.
(Which is fixed permanently there. On the ceiling.)



Brainstorming for packaging the brochure/poster combination.




 Continuing from the moire idea. 
Played with the idea of printing moire pattern on a surface for the viewers to stand on. 
Scrapped the idea later.


visual research for moire

Inspired from this Burberry outlet in KLCC. 
Overlapping patterns creating the illusion of motion when viewed while walking.

The illusion of falling down in dreams may be represented using this?

Motion Aftereffect (Waterfall Illusion)

If one stares consistently at movement in a particular direction for even a short time, subsequently viewed stationary scenes briefly appear to move in the opposite direction. This phenomenon was known to the Ancient Greeks, but the first modern report of it is often attributed to Robert Addams (1834), who observed the effect while viewing a waterfall at Foyers in Scotland. This demonstration was created from a view of the Falls of Foyers. After gazing at the movie for about 30 seconds (keep your eyes still by fixating on the tree branch in the middle of the falls), pause the movie (click on the pause button in the lower left corner) while maintaining fixation. Do you see an after-effect of movement?
The 'motion after-effect' can be explained by adaptation in visual neurones that respond selectively to moving contours in the image (see Barlow and Hill, 1963). In the absence of image motion, cells tuned to different directions produce roughly equal responses. Exposure to a particular direction of motion alters this balance in favour of cells tuned to the opposite direction, leading to the illusion. A review of modern research on the phenomenon can be found in Mather et al. (1998).

Five


grapes and cliffs and sharp sharp things

By using the word illusion of height, branched out into different categories,
narrowed them down and got these few.

In progress.

Four

Lost.







Working out new thinking patterns right now.

Three


2nd idea, sketches and so on.

Sketches about creating a space, delving into anamorphic art.

An example:



Shaping up ideas and discovering making anamorphic art is very very time consuming. 
Another project perhaps...?


2 refined ideas waiting to be approved. Fingers crossed....

Two



Research about dreams.


More research.


1st idea that got rejected. ): Moving onto the next one.
