It has been a few weeks since I responded to this call to create a collage for this online gallery. I initially threw myself into the challenge in order to jolt myself into a creative practice I struggled to revive. I has continued to be a struggle as I procrastinated for weeks looking at this […]
A creativity Booster …or is it?
I recently came across this social media call from Tebbs Contemporary Gallery, for a collage project. This sounded like a perfect opportunity to kick start my creativity after this very long slump. The call requires one to purchase a collage pack to work from, get inspired by, use or not use, at the cost of […]
A bit of progress – Some thoughts, collage experimentation, one design.
A Nature and Technology I recently started doing some scrapbooking in my personal journal and found myself remembering how I loved the art practice of collage. As a past lecturer, this is something I integrated in my Interactive Photography class, as well as in my animation classes. Layers, movement, intersections, new shapes and new narratives […]
A productive session
After reviewing our approach, we decided to explore a bit more of the elements we wanted to develop and fell back on the almost sinful and shameless use of AI generated imagery. A useful method still, for a process of elimination and possible direction. Spikes, details, ornate, black and white and block colours. We agree. […]
New Year, New beginnings.
. After failing to get into a disciplined work pattern on this project throughout the past year, a change of approach was needed. Forget thinking too much, conceptualise, research..start making. It seemed making is what I can do and trusting that process has often lead to results. Good or bad, but tangible work […]
In a Slump
In this process of constant feeding in and back, I often wonder where this might take us and how much of this thought process is necessary to get to a place of assurance and self belief with being on the right path. Finding a rhythm with the collaboration is also challenging, navigating the mundanity and […]
A Short Adventure in Motion Capture
Made in Code: Re-Imagining the Experience of Fashion Attitudes A couple of weeks back I was sent a link to an event the V&A was putting on in collaboration with UCL and the University of the Arts as part of a funded research project around Fashion and Technology, this part of the project exploring […]
AI experiments – DreamStudio
Starting exploring some ideas, albeit Ai generated, I can hardly take credit, but already feel like I have achieved something. What I am not sure as it is quite deceptive, thinking these images belong to you, that they come from you, yet in part they are , as this process in one where you “”dream […]
Generative backgrounds
Using code to generate visuals has always interested me but I never reached a level of coding ability high enough to be able to claim interesting let alone striking imagery. However, 10 years have passed since I last tried, and since then, great work has been produced and continues to be produced by talented and […]
AI, the new kid on the creativity bloc.
Artificial Intelligence: a disruptor in creativity Today, I had an inspiring conversation with colleague of mine on his experience with working with fashion students on a project where students have been asked to explore the metaverse and create an immersive environment on the themes of futuristic South Korea and Africa. I was stunned by the […]
