Monochrome w/ Chris Eales

Week 3

Psychogeography

Additional Sound Test:

We took a lot of audio, but I picked these 3 that mostly resembled the vibes of the walk

My psychogeography maps:

I catered these drawings more leaning towards “automatic drawings” than an actual map-like structure. This is because I tend to remember places more through objects and things I see.

London Underground Map, F H Stingmore (1932)

When making my own map, I remembered this map that Chris showed us during class. Although this map is quite busy and complicated to look at in terms of getting a direction, I find it really satisfying how all the points and areas feel more accurate to real life than simplified. It creates this sense of wandering and figuring out where to go – which was what I felt during the walk – which was why I used quite loose leading lines and shapes to direct the viewer’s attention onto parts of my drawing.

My own tests:

I tried to weave 2 different footages together to see it’s effects, and then maybe draw on them to see how it looks like.

Zoomed in outcome (done in week 4) :

Trying out different placements of the frames to see if it works:

I didn’t like how I can’t stack them consistently. the background itself doesn’t match with the intent. I want to focus more on the material of the frames than it’s background.

Experiment 2 with all frames:

I shot this whilst it was a work in progress, just to see how the lines looked like, and I’m happy with how it turned out.
