"The Empty City" was featured on a a fictional text I made for the publication, were a committee of archeologists has a column that accepts submissions from their readers. The findings are sent and discussed by them, in a way that is reminiscent of pop magazine. Will archeology be this mainstream in the future? See if you'd like that.
Title – Future Ruin Dimensions – 100 x 200 x 400 (in mm) (height, width, depth) Medium – Print Date – January 2021
Artist : Elda Miniero aka Eldorado
Task 7: Future Projection
In this task, we took the ruins created in the previous task and using Vray Renders and Photoshop, I had to envision what the landscape would like in the span of 25 years and 100 years in the future.
In the 25 year projections, I imagined the world becoming barren and wearing down. Concrete and marble cracking and starting crumble. The pathway into the habitation sinking and rising out of its original placement. With a strong sunlight throughout the day, the bright colours of the ruin become drained out colour, almost sunburnt to a crisp. The land becomes dry and cracked.
In a following 100 years, the landscape adapts. What once was the bare mountainside, is now forming a new life. Moss and vines wrap and choke the once human made forms. Songbirds rest here now, a perfect lookout over the landscape yet they are not the same “birds” we once new. Bright and florescent colours to attract with a song, but only to become their next meal. Deerlike creatures emerge in the daylight yet they still hide in the shade.
Something lurks and rooms this land. Taken over the abandoned civilizations and now rules. Be wary, traveler.
Lab 4 - Learning to export Rhino3D files to LaserCut, 3D Print, and CNC milling
Task 4: World Building
As an avid reader and occasion writer, the thought of world building is thrilling. This task was meant to explore world building by using the Drawing Exercise #1 as inspiration. However, it also becomes increasing difficult when there is not a lot of direction with what to add in order to have a suspension of disbelief while also exploring new and grand ideas. I am not happy with my results, most likely due some lack of skills. The lab helped with expanding on the Rhino commands like Boolean Spilt etc. however it was disappointing because we were not shown how to represent infrastructure or other representational structures required for this task which some of my peers know how to do. Again, I do not wish to blame the TAs and their directions, but this is the second time that I feel like I am falling behind because I am not being taught in the same way. For example, we were directed to complete a WireCut through the topography and then begin world building yet others were told to not and only make a box. We also were not shown how import elements like trees and other vegetation which I would have added if we had direction in finding said softwares. It is a little unfair and my results look poor in results. When producing my final products, I am on the fence between creating documents solely from what I have been shown in tutorial and what I have learned on my own through my peers. I enjoy this course a lot but it is becoming increasingly more frustrated since I feel that our lab treats us like guinea pigs and it is unfair.
I do plan on going back reiterating again and fixing this task because I am not satisfied with this results and it does reflect my strong ethic that I demonstrate in other courses.
