Automatic Writing

Automatic Writing is claimed physic ability allowing a person to produce written words purportedly arise from the subconscious. To ease us into the process of automatic writing, we were task with just little min writing. At first Becky & Jason, got us to do it with our left hand and then we moved location and had to do it there. Instead of a min we did it as five minutes.

My Space

After the tasks, we had to chose a space to write about. The space I chose was influenced by an artist called Nam June Paik. Who loves to feature technology in his work especially Tv’s. So I decided to make my space about a Tv. The idea is that I’m going to close my eyes in front of the Tv whilst I write.

Physical Response

The idea for this was that i wanted to translate my automatic writing into a some kind of script. Inspired by the work of Senthuran Varatharajah. Who has a section in Flaneur Magazine that explores his time at an airport but has a similar script like layout. Also wanted to explore Typography in my work.

My Video Response

For the video response, my initial idea was to make a video kind of repeating what I’ve said in my automatic writing. Just by combining different clips together. The earlier clips in the video are following that format. But then I had another idea to make the video a reflection on media today and how is hyper everything. From sex, alcohol and violence.

Workshop: Surface Pattern

For the workshop, I had to create a repeat pattern that link into the work that I was doing. Therefore, I’ve decided to make my pattern a homage if I say so. To Nam June Paik piece that I saw in the Tate called “TV Garden”.

MAIN INFLUNCES
The three main influences for this part of Psychogeography, were Flaneur Magazine, Senthuran Varatharajah & Nam June Paik.

On Your Marks

Performance Art

The final stage of the rotation was Jason & Becky group. Which was an introduction to Performance Art. The initial stages, I had to do a portrait of the person opposite of me. Throughout I had to do various mark making, some would limit the control I had with my dominant hand.

After the portraits, our group did a collaborative piece were we had to make a mark were our hands could reach. The line through the middle is my mark.

All through out the day, we were discussing about ownership. Who would take ownership and (referencing back to the portraits) how someone would see it as “one drawing”. But we would see as three drawings because we have context behind the piece.

Our Performance Piece

The brief for our performance was to produce a drawing with the extent of restricting our bodies & focusing on the process.

As a team, we decided that idea three would be the best process because we had thought that we could produce multiply variations of the same drawing.

  • This piece was a trial of different mediums. To see which one would make a bolder mark.
  • From the first image, we decided to go with charcoal as the medium. Then we went onto doing the “final” piece with the charcoal.
  • This was the Final Piece from our group. We went with sharpie as the material to get the clean lines. We went by capturing this in two different angels.
The main influence for this process is Tony Orrico. Who specialises in performance art and conceptual drawings. We look at his “Penwald Drawings” series.
