PROPOSAL

This assignment will incorporate the developed skills we have experimented with over the last two weeks in order to present a Design Presentation based on a concept of impact and influence of people and experiences. The aim of this assignment is to explore methods of future design presentations through providing an insightful and thought-provoking art installation. Research material based on the concept or further development of skills should be evident on your blog.

In this project, an object which can be identified with a range of individuals and environments, such as a chair or skateboard should be chosen and photogrametrically reconstructed (using modeling skills to help refine your model to the most efficient printing arrangement), alter the model as suits your puroposes and get a 3D print of your model. Using that as a basis for your project you will then go through the design process, “designing” a variety of environments and individuals to demonstrate the concept through the object printed.
This work will be displayed at an exhibition during O-week and consequently, you will need to consider how your project can be displayed in an exhibition setting. This assignment will require an integration of what is made possible using Photosynth, Meshlab, 3ds Max, Sketchup and BuildAR. These programs will assist in producing a 3D printed model, an installation for the audience to interact with using a webcam and a prepared video to display.

The idea of the assignment will be to “Mash-Up” a range of physical and digital processes into a Conceptual Art Installation for display at the final exhibition.

Assessment Criteria
Have thought and care been invested into all aspects of the design process in context to the technology you have experimented with throughout the course, including a noticeable attempt to engage with the technology in a creative way.
Blog: Is your blog neatly laid out and easy to follow, with all task requirements posted to your blog?
Images: Are your images of an acceptable quality, showing thought and consideration to image selection and camera framing? Are all images not your own referenced
correctly?
Text: Is any text you have written concise and informative? Is the text significant to
your project, outlining aspects of your process that may not be immediately
apparent through visual material?
Installation: Does your installation work? Is there a novel approach to the interaction between real life and digital content?
