(Re)representing Representations: Week 4

This was the time of our first submission.

During the week, Christina and I gathered our thoughts and really tried to follow the advice given to us by the tutors. At this point, we still wanted to use transparency paper as our main medium but we needed to use it in a way that better served our main concept. We decided to create transparency slides of one facade of the space rather than a single slide of three of the facades.

Through creating multiple copies of the one facade, we were able to isolate a single hole on each layer, while keeping the rest of the slides semi-opaque. The idea behind this was that when the slides were overlayed, the holes would be very obvious against a fully opaque background. We also ordered the holes in terms of size, so the biggest hole was at the very back, and the smallest was at the very front. Even so, the user can arrange them in whatever order and orientation that he or she would want.

The point of the slides is to emphasise the holes but to also show that the holes are still apparent no matter how the slides are positioned. This is what was produced:

The tutors really liked our project. At first, Haris said he didn't know what it was and he wondered how it would work, but during our explanation, his excitement and enthusiasm was apparent. Meeray really liked the fact that we created two copies of the slides only because we felt the first weren't effective enough. She likened this to "being your own tutors".
