Náhodné instalace / Accidental InstallationsUljarevic, Branka Unknown Date (has links)
The endless possibilies of glass are inspiring. It has the ability to not only reflect, but its unbelievably sharp and crisp potential to shape and define a room from bare abandonment to pure visionare of endless value.Some of the topics and themes I seek to define and discuss through my work are as follows: What is the ability of a mere (2m x 3x) piece of glass to transform and affect the human experience? How much does its shape and placement interact with elements of the technical space, with the footprints that shape its surroundings? How does the tampering with said glass (for example, discoloration and lighting) react and influence an otherwise abandoned and unnoticed factory setting? What areits technical abilities and limitations? My conclusive research and experimentation through my thesis has led me to show the durability and strength of an otherwise breakable medium. My work has exposed the pressures and challenges that affect the dimensions in which glass can be found, from three specific angles. Not only has the quality of glass been put to the test, but its lifespan as a whole in a variety of difficult circumstances. Through this exporative installation of glass and its role of interaction, my primary goal is to analyze and expose the quality of the material. The otherwise ephemeral nature of glass as a barrier or as a second-rate mirror can be seemingly eternalized for an effective moment in time. This exploration will transform my process into afinal product, thus organizing the accidental chaos of its very specific potential.

Solid - VoidChoi, Kun Sik January 2023 (has links)
The central theme of my degree project is the concept of solid and void, with each piece embodying a unique idea. The void element represents a container that can be filled with individual thoughts and perceptions. My goal is to create interactive objects that can be viewed from different perspectives, allowing for a personalised experience based on one’s expectations, experiences, and perceptions. I believe that the point of view from which we look at things (how we look at things) might be more important than what kind of thing it is. Through my work, I aim to induce people to change their perspectives on their daily objects and surroundings. This thesis report is the story of my graduation work, which I worked on from December 2022 to May 2023. It contains the intentions and aims I was trying to convey through my work, the process of working on it, the difficulties I encountered along the way, and my concerns. I wrote this thesis report as a kind of working notebook or end-of-day diary, writing honestly about what I felt and learned during the process. / <p>KunSik Choi</p><p>www.kunsik.com</p>

The Metamorphosis of WeavingHemström, Mirjam January 2020 (has links)
There is a link between the tactile and optical modes of perception. Woven textiles’ materiality and ability to take three dimensional form, make them a good medium for creating shapes containing several pattern scales and textures. By conciously working with tactile-visual qualities and aesthetics one can achieve the most powerful effects, and in turn, the textile can take the role of a sensation director. By interpreting Kasuri with large scaled threads on a computerized hand loom and in space, an exploration of details and spatial installation can be conducted simultaneously. The five examples developed in this project demonstrate different approaches to dimensional hand weaving, intending to build a better understanding of micro and macro spatial features in woven textiles. Significantly, the project challenges the scale of hand weaving as well as the design process: stretching from thread to dimensional weave empowers the designer. By highlighting crafted details on a large scale, a sequence of events can be discerned that makes the spectator aware of quality and of the production process. Parallels between the body of work and our perception of lines and interspaces are drawn as an attempt to refine our relation to the objects around us.

I Am Here, Yet Somewhere Else : A psychogeographic navigation through grief, loss and memoryZhao, Queenning January 2022 (has links)
New spaces open up when you lose someone. A disappearance is the beginning of an emergence. This project is about mourning the loss of my nai nai (paternal grandmother in Mandarin) and the spaces that have opened up during the process. Through personal experience and by mapping my psychogeography of the place where I grew up with nai nai, Visättra, this project deals with the meaning of places, memories and objects. I have worked with the translation between immaterial and material things while reflecting on contemporary questions such as: attachment to places and objects, highlighting placeness that is entangled with culture, identity and politics, and situating a subjective experience in a larger narrative. What happens to the places that are attached to the memories of a person after their death? What kind of new places are born out of grief and loss? How are they manifested through different scales—from the personal to the universal and the psychological to the geographical? I have explored my questions intuitively along with theoretical frameworks followed by a process of tracing, collecting, translating and recreating carriers of memories, revealing scenes of a dichotomy between brokenness and wholeness—from then to now and from there to here.

An actual houseGaard, Trina January 2022 (has links)
When having travelled one returns to, or revisits, a place. Unaware of the personal transformation that has occurred, one realizes the change when confronted with familiar things. In a desire to understand what objects and places mean to people, the project An actual house looks at three objects from a childhood home: a staircase, a window and a curtain and their relation to memory and autonomic consciousness. It reflects upon the importance of memory and imagination in art, architecture, and design - memory as well as imagination as a tool to create a different future. This art-practice-based work uses a hybrid form method. Exploring phenomenology trough writing, creating objects from memory and conveying the work to a perceptible form in a curated exhibition. It wants to contribute to a discussion on the relation between humans, objects and places in time.
