Hello All,

Hope you had a nice holiday.

For those of you that don’t know me I am Cris Mendoza, your AIN 6230 instructor. I am currently out of the country participating in an exhibition and I will not be back in Detroit until January 16th, so our first class meeting will be January 17th. Again, we will not meet until Tuesday, January 17th. That said, I want to hit the ground running, so you will have some work to do the coming week.

The first couple of weeks of the class will be dedicated to presentations about your work, your interests and a very rough sketch of the project(s) you intend to develop in this class, and creating this presentation will be your task for the coming week. The format of the presentation is up to you: it can be a slide show or a PowerPoint presentation. If you have already done your Senior Seminar presentation, you can borrow from that. What should be in your presentation?

1. Samples of your work, especially work that you feel is the most relevant to what you intend to investigate in this class. Focus on what YOU like and what YOU are interested in. Show us the works that you’ve made that move YOU.

2. Influences and Interests: Show us artists, designers, animators, filmmakers, theorists, ideas, etc. that you are interested in. Again, the idea is to show us what moves YOU.

3. A rough idea or ideas that you intend to pursue in this class. This doesn’t have to be a detailed production schedule: Just tell us some ideas that you would be interested in executing, and perhaps also what is influencing some of those ideas. The more detail that you can give us here the better off you will be, because we will be able to provide you with more feedback. So, for example, if you know that what you want to make is a video that explores ideas of identity, tell us as much, and tell us what is motivating that desire.  

Expect to talk to us for about 15 minutes.

Again, feel free to borrow from your Senior Seminar presentation, but I want to see much more of YOU in these presentations. Use the things mentioned above as guidelines, not as a format nor an outline.

Please reply to me ASAP on reception of this message; I want to make sure that we are all on the same page. And if you have any questions, please email me:

cmendoza@wayne.edu

See you soon, and enjoy your weekend,

c.

Notional Field (studio prototype)

Notional Field is an interactive installation that consists of field of vertical and parallel lines made of elastic cord that are illuminated with a video projection of lines generated through a custom software program. The motion of these projected lines is ruled by a simulation, which makes them act like soft ropes, and the direction and strength of their movement is affected by a viewer’s motion as registered by a video camera that feeds its image to the computer. Thus, the physical movements of the participant are translated into virtual forces that affect the computer-generated lines, while the physical lines of the installation remain motionless. The piece revolves around the idea of interface, which is interpreted as the point of contact between two different entities, and is displayed in the work in several ways: between the viewer and the piece (a human/computer interface); between the real and the virtual (the physical structure and its relationship with the projected structure); between the foreground and the background (as the projection interferes with its shadow).
