VR workshop with Gert Wastyn
I drew a weird plant in Gravity Sketch with VR devices. Which was actually fun. The thing was, I think I didn't upload the right layer so this was the only thing I could find in the end. Still a lot to explore, including the technical part. To start by drawing instinctively in a 3D environment did help a lot. I can see if I can draw and at the same time, have knowledge about how 3D works, VR should be a super useful material to operate.

Making an AR gif for the 1-day-workshop. While I think the theme to make something from your country was a bit limited, I still tried to connect it with my research, which is the connection between things. Taiwan is like a shape of sweet potato, or a leaf on the sea (It's an island as well). And it can be transformed into many things. The leaf becomes eyes. The reflection turned into the smoke of incense. The smoke becomes cloud, and the incenses changed into chopsticks.

In the workshop with Marieke, we played with Makey-Makey, which was nice to know more about animation interfaces. She gave us a lot of examples about installations and expanded animation. I made the little doll on the right, which was squashed when going back home. I liked it even more afterwards.
Workshop Gert Wastyn and Guido Devadder
With the group we finished this work. Applying materials we could gather, the outcome was actually amazing! I enjoyed the combination of various textures. Films, yarns, seeds, aluminum foil. It gave me a feeling that we could actually use everything from our daily life to animate. The shadows were dramatic, in a good way! For installation, we placed a leaf beside the Vinyl player, which made a buzzing sound whenever you play it. Also, we settled a lot of leaves on the ground to surround this work, people need to go across those leaves and watch. It's like peeking something happened in the woods.
I have never done any installation before this one. It was like a starter to try out and I did enjoy it. To think about an piece not only in a visual way but also about how to experience it.
360 images
For me, to shoot a 360 photo, there should be something to play with- to set up the audience as another character. For example, imagine yourself a small person inside someone's mouth, an object inside a shopping bag....., or being observed by a giant, or observing the giant right besides her. Playing with perspectives was the funniest thing I could explore with 360 camera. I need more study to really know how to tell a story in a different way, while these small tries opened doors to different thinking methods.

FilmEU-RIT Expanded Memories workshop
Scratching on film. It was a nice experience to play with films. The upper one was playing at a regular speed, while the other was much slower. I prefer the later, which you can see the overlapping and glow among the lines. It did provide me a sense of fading memories, and they somehow connected, talking to each other by crossover.
Some things that did not work
They are the few clips when I start the filming. It did not work in an interesting way though.
Though the section of orange could be interesting while it's too hard to slice it into smaller fragments. Which makes it somehow awkward. So it did not work. Also, it is too juicy which makes the table sticky.
