PHASE 4 : Drawing a Crowd

A glimpse into the realm of Divinity

The manifestation above states the proposition of the further study. In addition to the words above, the continuing research will be focusing on how my study can help create an instrument that allows for an alternative experiences of the Navratri crowd. By doing so, I looked into the most fundamental of all humans, the senses and the memories. Yes, sense provokes memories. Sometimes we remember a place by the things that we smelled. Or we remember the sound of the music that reminds us directly of the place, etc. like mentioned above, If getting closer to god also means coming closer to each other, to record the event through the lens of expression, senses and dreams, could brings about an understanding in terms of alternative experiences of the sacred event.

first we studied the most important moment, the meeting moment. Now, in order to ventures even deeper, we look into what, do we do in order to be at that moment. To be close to gods. And why does it make us do such movement, such expressions. What is the reason?

I then divided our reasons into senses. See, hear, Touch, Taste, smell and the sense of awareness in space. all of this is the element that helps us classify our closeness to god. Because without these, the movement of getting closer to gods will have no reason. The diagram then being constructed to tell the story of each senses through expressions and movement. from the outer rim to the inner of the circle, explains what we do in each specific sense in order to get there at the centre, to the moment of the encounter

even though the moments of meet signifies the meeting physically, but the meaning conveyed through each actions and expression also are the key to get us closer to the realm of gods too. 

Because coming closer to god means coming closer to each other as well. in order to construct the alternative experience to make others understand the sacred event, I will methodically document the event through the lens of expression, senses and dreams. The diagram above shows my method of constructing the landscape. 

seeing at the bottom is the map of Silom. In order to to film the incidents according to senses and timeline of the night of the festivities, I have come up with a constructed timetable and fastest travel route to capture the reality. Then I looked in to how I will carefully stage the event, how to set up the camera and where to place the microphones in order to get the result that conveys the senses. The landscape and the objects in the manipulated world came from the manifestation of previous studies and references.

Using the circular narrative drawing as a compass along with the map and previous documentation, reveals the “hotspot” of certain action that conveys senses. 

For example,

During 15.40-16.10 at Surasak Rd. it is the peak time that you can see the setting up of many decorations. This imply to the sense of seeing. how we see the place being decorated. Decoration is a mandatory procedure towards the welcoming of the gods. Most of the time were spent on this. The video shows the change of time and people arranging and getting things ready on Surasak road.

During 16.25,  Sathorn Road started to partially closed to let people decorate the venue. Since the street is very wide, It can be clear to see that In order to make the festivity goes smoothly, people tend to avoid stepping into each other’s designated premises. Especially when setting up the worship table. The rules are acknowledged by everybody through telling from generations to generations. This happens because of  the sense of awareness in space of people.

Between 22.00 - 22.25, Drummer comes as the moment in between each mediums or carriages. It is the time that the tension eases a bit. Sine the focus of the crowd are often no longer on the drums parade, but are rather minding their own business. Despite the sound of the drum and the no directional chaos down on the street of Sathorn, the police officer still have to keep their post on the overdress, looking over everybody. Also, not focusing on the parade only makes us acknowledge the architecture element that plays a role in the festivities as well. This is an example of when 2 senses collided creating a memory. The sense of hearing and the sense of seeing.

These are only the 3 examples out of the 16 that were put chronologically which can be seen from the large drawings above. Each hotspot contains the vital information on how i reconstructed my manipulated reality. The following video is the combination of the manifested informations and structured research that brings about the core Idea of why we do what we do in order to become just a little bit closer to god visible here in term of senses.  And how each different component comes together and create this sensory festival.

Moody, come on, do you know who you're talking to? The boy never has any clue as to what's happening so why would this scenario be any different? Of course it's difficult.

I am not going to forget this one...

Today was a very eventful day. Basically, I fainted while observing the anesthesiologist administer epidural to a pregnant lady. And then ended up getting a superficial scalp laceration due to my hair clip. Hence, they had to keep me in the ED for some time before I got discharged. I have had episodes like these before, but this was the first time when it happened way too quickly and I wasn’t able to salvage myself. I guess worse things could have happened, like breaking my nose or biting my tongue due to the fall. Thank god nothing of that sort happened. Although I am very annoyed by the fact that I got a wound from this experience, I did realize some important things.

a) NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST. I was pretty hypoglycemic and that was definitely one of the reasons why I fainted so quickly and easily. I have always had the habit of skipping breakfast, never thought too much about it. But since it has been established that I get vasovagal syncope in response to visual stimulus, I should be extra careful in making sure that no other factors come into play, which might provoke an episode like this once again. 

b) Don’t wear any hair clips. It seems so harmless but nothing is harmless when you suddenly fall to the ground and bang your head. A small hair clip caused so much bleeding and resulted in me waiting in the ED for such a long time. Just no more hair accessories in the hospital.

d) If I ever feel faint in the hospital, it is completely alright to just sit on the floor (especially if there are no chairs). No one is going to blame you for it. And there is no need to feel embarrassed about it. 

c) I have such wonderful friends whom I am extremely thankful for. To the friends who stayed with me throughout the ED journey. And my best friend who takes care of me so gently. I mean who would be patient enough to wash off the dried blood from my hair and neck, without feeling disgusted by it. I was feeling very emotional that my parents couldn’t be here to take care of me. But I felt even more emotional by the fact that I had such lovely friends who care so much, whom I can rely on, especially on my worst days. 

Well this is one hell of a story that I can tell my future kids. I guess bad days do make good stories.
