Bicycle de GO!! Cycling together through Asia's big city. Today we will ride from Khaosan to Chinatown. This is Part 2 of 8. This time we run from Sao Chin Cha = Giant Swing to Saphan Phut (Memorial Bridge) through Pahurat Market (Indian fabric market). Bangkok, Thailand. "自転車でGO!!"が10年以上ぶりに帰ってきた！  まずはカオサン通りからチャイナタウンへ向かってGO!! 今回は全8部のうちの第2部で旧市街バンコク都庁舎前のサオ・チン・チャー（ジャイアント・スウィング）からサパーン・プット（メモリアル・ブリッジ）の下をくぐって走ります。

Archive 

As started in project 3, making my derive go viral, I decided that the archive should be accessible by the same type of social media. I update the project for everyone who is following my instagram page. As you scroll from the first posts to the latest you can spot the connection between colours, scale and planes.

Slice : Graphic Slice

I explore the scales of objects in photography as related to the derive project. I had to play with scales of the rubiks cubes and the objects behind it, all with the distance from the camera and distance between two objects. 

I realized that photographs captures a slice of reality by compressing different layers of information into one layer that represents the area. 

Reality is multi layered and multi dimensional, each layer is a fragment of different things with different information such as billboards, facades and signs. I want to take the compressed layers and deconstruct that reality. 

In rhini 3d modelling I created a cone from the camera to the picture, any object that moves in scale within that cone will look as the same size from the point of the cone. I construct planes in all different angles, shapes and sizes to recreate the photograph of pahurat. From what i deconstructed in reality, I reconstructed my own reality, I create what i think should be behind the planes, trying to make an obstacle course or play ground. 

When viewed from the right perspective, one of the two photos will merge into reality. Two photos can be seen, with the middle plane a shared plane between the two photographs. 

examples of the new reality

  Slice : Manual of Associations

I drafted all of my 4 photographs into rhino to create manuals of how i visualize my photographs. I only created the 3d models of the objects within the picture, cutting out all the other surroundings with darkness. This allows me to see the distance and height at which i took it from and combine with the information of the focal length.

Slice : Definition Photographies

The area I chose to target is the corner of The Old Siam, one of the oldest malls in Pahurat. I aim to take ‘flat’ photos by stressing to have multiple planes of different information compressed into one plane in the photograph. I try to get the edges of each plane to align with each other to make it merge.

Derive : Psychogeographical Map 

From making my derive viral on instagram, I want other people to be able to experience the aspect of seeking for objects of specific colour in the city. This 18x18cm large rubiks cube is used as a compass for people to twist around and read off the rubiks face to see the object elements they should be seeking for in the wider pictures. This is a simulation of my actual derive, but you can experience it in real life just by following the hashtag #rubiksmapwithatwist.

These are pictures that the objects in the rubiks cubes are in :

Psychogeographical Map

walking through Phahurat district and getting to see all these fabric lay beneath my eyes, There was this feeling of reaching to feel the fabric texture

Each and every store are very different and has their own unique ways of their shop layout 

This is why I wanted to stitch my map down on to a fabric. People could feel them and know their story. I want the people who see this get the full experience of walking through Phahurat

Data Analysis

After walking through Phahurat, I collect all of my data through sketching and dedicated one sketchbook for this project. And then, I tried to recreate the map and the blocking inside the district I was walking in
