This art piece highlights the link between the disciplines Psychology (Totem & Taboo), Philosophy (Aesthetics), Literature (The narrative), Biology (Signs of Life) and Sound science (Cymatics). The linking Idea being “Perspective” either being one man’s perspective on various discipline or a group of people on one discipline. Th branches symbolize that men’s perspective is not always the same they intertwine and overlap each other and change with time as to no one tree is identical to the one next to it and they change with seasons and so does men’s perspective change with from the influence around them. The overall aesthetic of the piece was inspired by the above thought. People perceive something as being either right or wrong, educational or nonsense but as time passes by with more information they change not once for me perspective “A way of regarding situations or topics” is a living thing that thrives on external influence.
Placement and overall thoughts
To hang the piece I had already chosen out a place when I started to draw up drafts which were a clean wall with no clutter that might distract people from the piece as taking on some of the things Laurent talked about in the previous project.
Overall experience of doing this project was quite insightful in how to get various disciplines to link together as differences in thoughts and ideas can create difficulty in finding a linking idea at first I thought that the thinking idea would be perception but further researching the books is discovered that Perspectively is more prominent then perception, some books required me to dive in deeper to find the meaning behind the words of the author to find the link as I figured I should understand fully what the author such as Sigmund Freud is talking about then to skim the top of some of his controversial declarations. Integrating findings a link between such as Sound (which is a more of a “feeling” and active discipline) and Literature is (which is a more written and read discipline) I think the books I read in regarding these disciplines helped me to find the link and integrate the idea between them but if I were to have been looking at them as a discipline before this project I would have taken me a little time to find them.
While in the project I also used Instagram to post my daily work as I was progressing in the project which was quite fun and interesting to see as It attracts the attention of people who weren't in BCT.
