Main Idea in a bit more depth


  • Installation piece about natural disasters and the impact it can have on humanity
  • it will include 4 or 5 busts (chest and head)
  • they’ll be very basic as they’ll be representing humanity
  • on each bust will be a projection of each disaster (so one will have lava and another with have cracking earth, etc) (moving and looping)
  • and sound wise I was thinking of having bassy earth noises with the odd crack or boiling sound to represent the sounds of the different disasters (www.vimeo.com/80266870)
  • I need to look into different materials for creating the busts, (whether i can buy them pre made or if i have to make them from scratch (either way I don’t mind getting my hands dirty and because of the simplicity of the busts it will reduce the difficulty of the sculpting them))
  • the projections will be made in after effects (for obvious reasons of not being able to go too disaster ridden locations (need to choose what disasters to replicate and then contact simon or reference Lynda to figure out how to create the effects)
  • inspiration (www.danielwurtzel.com)
  • I have a back up plan just incase the sculptures back fire (double exposure)

  1. Hi Leanna. Good to see you today and talk about your idea. Please do some playful making as soon as possible. I think you will have fun and begin to feel more inspired once you start that process. I look forward to seeing what you manage to make for the busts but if it is too tricky you can begin to revise your idea accordingly. The After FX experiments will be interesting to start too. Then you can try to project in Uni and see what you can create with one prototype. Aim to complete this before the Easter Break.
