The symbol of command key ⌘ probably draws the people’ intention to the keyboard shortcuts, also represents the significance of the fabricating process, I wished to express. ‘Copy and Paste’ as the representation of duplicating hand-drawn footage, the reproduction consists of repeated layering to achieve the final complex pattern. Simultaneously, the symbol also serves as an artistic graphic of blossom, and as well as the references of the pattern. Not only concerning the process of creation, also considers the aesthetics of the final work itself.
To highlight the ideology of experimentation and improvisation, this project emphasises the process over the final outcome. The arbitrary arrangement of the sequence is served as the limitation. The improvised hand-drawn footages together creates the motion of hand-drawn footage, in which the brush stroke reflects the physical pressure I applied. Simultaneously, the unpredictable pressure is a subconscious action, thus the spantaneous changes of consistent pattern is constitued to visualize visualize my state of mind. To express the ideology of fragmentation, through intentional layout of visual elements, numerous pattern is constucted by at least two footages. While the utilization of black background could hide the edges of each footage, thus to maintain the consistent visual, in which the pattern continuously overlap, collide, merge and transform unpredictably.
Process visual part is roughly finalized, still making some experiments on sound design
