Mash Up Power- Women:

If you percieved someone as powerful, they would become powerful. With the ability to push through ambitious plans and American's giving him leeway Barrack Obama as the president of the United States has never had more influence. A Clinton White House is engaged in an internal struggle over how to recover from devastating election losses and would be in disarray. Or would they? What if Hilary Clinton had incorporated Madonna's attitude into her own persona, such as a strong belief that women should be as powerful and domineering as men and that a woman should be free to express her opinions and sexual desires as a man does, without the fear of a backlash? Mirroring this opinion is Prada. A woman's sexuality is part of her power. Woman who look powerful are always on top. Bodies have the potential for exerting power and can be propelled to demonstrate this power through the institutions that are perceived by the public to be knowledgeable. This means that the society implicitly submits power and knowledge to institutions, in this case, the entertainment industry, and allows those involved in the business to inform the popular culture of their judgments (perceived by the public as knowledge) of what type of body is beautiful and what is fashionable. If Clinton had the magic of Miuccia Prada during the election last year perhaps the Republicans would not be reduced in numbers and engaged in an internal struggle. And be revelling in presidential power and influence unseen in Washington for decades. Not because of Obama but because of a powerful woman president.

Final Submission EXP2.

My laboratories for both Alfred Nobel and Jacques-Yves Cousteau were inspired from quotes that dealt with in my mind the search for normal space. This concept has influenced my work in both the laboratories but in the meeting space. The meeting space is what you would consider a normal room, however, this is because this is the space that Nobel and Cousteau have been searching for. In Cousteau's case the laboratory space is not normal. The waterwall is to create the atmosphere of a tank or marine land and ramp beside it descends into a space with no consistency in its walls. Ascending back up into the meeting space Cousteau is being 'set free' from the marine land into normality. In Nobel's case the laboratory space is golden as knowledge is gold. Here the walls are only two colours to contrast against each other for similarites and differences. Using the ramp to get to the meeting space Nobel would notice the differences between the strength and power of the spaces compared to the delicateness of the ramp, and the difference between the spaces being inside and the ramp being outside. He would search for similarities in the normality of the meeting space. Together they both signify the normality of the search for human knowledge.

Meeting Space- Alfred Nobel And Jacques-Yves Cousteau






The meeting space if you are entering from Cousteau's laboratory and heading out towards Alfred Nobel's lab.






This is the meeting space if you are entering it from Alfred Nobel's lab and heading in towards Costeau's lab.







This is an overall view of the meeting space and it's connection the Cousteau's laboratory.






Jacques-Yves Cousteau Laboratory






Ascending down the ramp into Cousteau's laboratory next to a wall of water and heading towards the laboratory space.






A close-up showing the wall of water and the wall that features an interesting concept of what would be considered a normal wall. It both protudes out and continues inwards creating the question where is the wall actually placed.






I chose to place my medium texture here as it seems to draw in eye inwards. I thought that fit nicely in with this area as the surrounding blocks are placed to question the placement of the wall. It is searching for the similarities and differences in both inside and outside space.



Corridor- Second Meeting Space




My light texture has been applied to the floor of the second meeting place as it helps draw the eye towards the magnificently tall opening in the cliff face that is so powerful and creates the feeling of infinite spacious space which stirs an inferior feeling.





Alfred Nobel Laboratory




The corridor heading into Nobel's laboratory from inside the cliff face. Again it creates the feeling drawing in for the search of space.























Outside Images




Outside looking into Alfred Nobel's laboratory.











Overall view of ramp and Nobel laboratory and meeting spaces.







Delicate Ramp going from Nobel lab to meeting space.







Looking back from ramp into meeting space onto
Nobel's laboratory. Note that I have used my dark texture on both Nobel's lab and the outside of the meeting place to link together and make them similar yet different.

Electroliquid Aggregation

"No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal."Jacques-Yves Cousteau

"One can state, without exaggeration, that the observation of and the search for similarities and differences are the basis of all human knowledge."Alfred Nobel

"One can state, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, that the search for similarities and differences can duplicate the conditions of the sea. Those who inhabits one of these marine lands can never be considered normal on the basis of all human knowledge." - Nissa

Lighting And Shadow

The Black Box, The Concealed Room. Chapter 5. The Shadow As Repetition. As the moon starts to disappear and the sun starts to rise, its morning twilight time. Shadows are long and light. They are more blue then black. You are walking along a path at an art gallery. On your right side a feature wall with intriguing square conical hollow shapes bursting out of the wall. Suddenly the clouds clear and the moon is bright in the sky again. You look to your left and you notice that the blank wall on your left is no longer blank. Light is being funneled down these protruding shapes on the right and projected onto the left. The wall becomes an art piece of its own now. Using projected light to repeat what should be shadows into beams of light is an innovative idea. When I see this I think of how it would be to walk through that space and what it would be like to have that atmosphere surrounding you. Underneath the stars still during twilight I would feel that the projection would feel as though they were stars against a wall. Especially if the holes in the conical shapes were smaller. The feeling you would get from this would be the feeling of never ending space, in a never ending universe. The feeling of never ending space is something I would like to explore with my design. While Erika probes this thought on an outwards visual plane, it would also be a compelling thought to twist that around and turn it inwards. In a lab I think a space that conveys the feeling of infinite space heading inwards would aid scientists with the philosophy behind theory.
