Initial Deconstruction


Aims and objectives for Masters year

·      To escape the screen. It seems I have an antagonistic relationship with the idea.
·      To be part of a wider art community
·      Develop accessible, inviting work. Probably immersive installations.
·      Ask in-depth questions about the form of my work; whether is it to a professional standard and successful and relevant in todays art culture.

The main themes I have so far identified in my work

Perception and scale of the human body
  • How do we understand how big or small we are in relation to everything else around us?
  •   How can we suggest this idea to an audience?
  • When an ankle becomes a mountain or a cake becomes a planet, does our perception or understanding of our own scale change?
  •  I find this question especially interesting when considering screens on laptops or phones. 

 Skin and the screen  
  • Are these essentially the same thing? Conceptually they are similar as they are barriers between two worlds.
  •    Immersive environments that explore separation
  • The screen as something which is no longer static and rectangular, but something that surrounds us or moves with us

Creator and Audience
  •   Who is responsible for the completion of an artwork?
  • In relational aesthetics there is a tendency to champion process over product. Who ultimately takes ownership of the content generated in this process?
  • As I aim to immerse my audience what role can they play in the process of making?



Conclusion or concepts identified for further study
  •       The audience as subject, object or site
  •        The performative aspect of creating digital content
  •     Relational aesthetics in digital media/ interactive media
