I study animation and earlier this year we had a module that involved miroboard. I still marvel at the wonders we created as a class, here are some of my contributions. These are Sølkāt’s miroboard escapades, featuring…

Car on car:

Sølkāt vandalized by classmates:

A completely wrecked, exploded solkat, followed by an indestructible, one-stroke sølkāt that instead got multiplied and turned into a virus:

Long car on giraffe:

Extreme vandalism, forced britishification, and misspelling of sølkāt’s glorious name:

Hope you found some joy in these glimpses into my extremely serious classes. Here are some extras in which I’m only slightly involved but deserve some spotlight too:

Week 5 blog

Previously, I had the chance to ask the stream leaders regarding the following:

Consent from performers and the audience regarding being filmed.

Can we temporarily book a space to simulate a mock exhibition?

The deliverables for the capstone, as my plan, lean towards the experience rather than a tangible product.

Resources for executing the project.

This was necessary as this could dictate the scope and capability of the project for creating the deliverables and managing my time. These were the notes and responses to the questions:

(The following questions are reordered to show main concern to minor concern.)

Consent from performers and the audience regarding being filmed.

There needs to be ethics that are taken into consideration regarding the performers being filmed. The way to mitigate this matter is to have the performers wear masks to maintain anonymity.

Create a safe space and maintain Tikenga with the performers and the audience.

The deliverables for the capstone, as my plan, lean towards the experience rather than a tangible product.

Being aware that the prototype required [insert criteria], my options were limited, so I suggested some alternatives, either picking two or all of the possibilities. The following options are:

Agenda

Run-sheet

Poster

Video capture of the performance

Luckily, these were all doable options, as my stream leader and course coordinator said.

2. Can we book a space temporarily to simulate a mock exhibition?

Using the design space to create a mock showcase or even booking out a dance space.

3. Resources for executing the project.

I asked the technicians, and there were camera options, so that wasn't a number one concern. There were 360 cameras, which is something that I am looking to use.

My queries were somewhat solved, especially the performers' consent and resources needed for execution; however, I am still not satisfied with the questions, which left me feeling more restricted about what I can create for my deliverables. However, rather than dwell on it, I decided to look for precedent performance arts through what I already knew and what I studied in my Art History papers. I was happy to utilise my Art History primary knowledge and apply it to my design research. I was pleased to find performance art done locally in Aotearoa, New Zealand (Fig 4. My questions and doodles). My next step is to annotate the existing performance art, put them from extreme to safe scale, and highlight elements I could apply to my project.

Besides that, I was working on my slides for the DES 302 proposal presentation (shown in Fig 5.). Unfortunately, due to my laptop crashing, I had to create new slides by scratch (as I refuse to use pre-made templates and still want to stand out from other designers). Although it was time-consuming, it was a noticeable upgrade from my previous slides (it looked rushed because that was when my laptop crashed).

Overall, I made more progress and I am pretty happy with my progress! Moving from Te Kitenga to Te Whāinga with the progress.

Miro Board

To organise our ideas and tasks, Flora create a Miroboard with tables including each task everyone needed to complete. I liked how this made the project look more organised and made it easier to share ideas, designs and problems. This helped keep track of what needed to be done and what needed to be discussed as a group.

This method works well for manging time with a group project because it can be difficult to keep track of what everyone is doing.

Transitions

These are some of the tweaks done to our task for today’s lesson.

We learnt about semiotics and how we unconsciously visually perceive signs. The task was to discuss about an ad and correct the problems there on miro board.

The above photos involves the progression of how we changed the ad from an old vintage poster with a woman and form of hierarchy in the layout to an old poster with a man with more visible elements.
