This week I have been mostly trying to finally wrap my head around our last college project of the calander year. All Joycian and wordificating have I been.
At the beginning of the project, I was thinking in the way of land art, in the sense of sculptural ideas, rather than going with my strengths and with my actual skills as they are being taught. I got over that and then I settled on a text / landscape based film idea. Here are the results.
The above video is the culmination of a few different experiments in how to tie filmed images of the landscape with the literary ideas suggested by its connection to two episodes from James Joyce's Ulysses. I won't bore anyone (except my tutors in college) with the other the sketches. They're really not that different.
Coalting research and making presentable seems to be important in this particular project, since we are supposed to be making a proposal for a fictional grant or award. Interesting to see what's involved in that. I think I'm going to need some kind of manager. Never was any good at filling out forms.
Below is the layout of my main proposal, which I've printed off in large format. It really is rather snazy... but in a very-obviously-not-a-professional-graphic-design-job-kind-of-way. It certainly beats all the drawing/printing attempts I made at presenting the idea.

I also had the chance this week to go along with my classmate Stephanie Golden and document herself and volunteer firestarter Louise Brady experimenting with her own project. Below are the results, with some stolen music by Tunng - a fantastic band who hopefully wont sue me.
Why am I writing a blog entry about college work at half two on a Sunday morning? Good question. I haven't finished my homework and I'm procrastinating, that's why.
