well, I've found me some dandelions...
Looks like this project took up the whole summer for the artist Regine Ramseier...wish I could speak German though, but great images.
It is natural, and a bit soft and dreamy a world away from Newcross....
but has nothing to do with technology though.
mmmmmm
.......
much later
I contacted the artist via email, informing her that I was currently working on a project somehow trying to marry nature and technology, that I really love her work etc etc...
(unfortunately I did this in English...
maybe I should have got my Swiss cousin to translate)
Does this now mean I am a blogging stalker?
anyway, it might lead me somewhere
hopefully not a field of robotic dandelions, lets see.

Now i'm beginning to think i'm approaching this from the wrong angle.
Whadayathink??? Please read on...
As part of Methods and Processes session, we were asked to make a monument, out of card, for 'homework'. So kill two birds with one stone, (things are time sensitive in the Easington household) I created a monument to nature, so that whilst still exploring the possible dandelion theme of project I'm also doing a bit of homework.... Its not quite finished, but I filmed the shadows it created with the hope that it might shed some light on me and this project.
I think you have some great research here - and it seems as though it's difficult to make a choice and get started. Maybe concentrating on the type of 'reaction' you want to an object to give and in 'response' to what would be a starting point. This could be a paper chameleon that changes colour in response to a close hand movement - or a dandelion that responds to wind blowing strength and changes in direction...
ReplyDeleteThanks, I've checked in with Rose Sinclair and she has given me some leads, the heat sensitive paper is expensive but there is paint, so I will be talking to Claire in textiles dept on Monday about paint
