WITH OUT A TRACE: PROCESSING VISUAL CODES

WITH OUT A TRACE: PROCESSING VISUAL CODES

DUE Oct. 17th

Your assignment is to explore the perceptual limits of an image by experimenting with the tools provided to you within the various software architectures you have access to (i.e Photoshop, Premier, or another visual output software).  One of the main goals to keep in mind is creating the work without leaving a trace. Break, hack, process, and experiment until new ways of seeing are found. You can accomplish this assignment by either creating a series of images (3 or more), a series of gifs(3 or more), or a video (2-3 min or more).

"Software interfaces define the boundaries of our work, but only exploration into the margins of these tools, beyond the intended use pattern can really expose these boundaries. In that sense in order for us to brake out of the design paradigm embedded in software we must use it "the wrong way" By all means, designers should be hackers, do what we're not supposed to, make your software fail, crash, burn... find the exploits of our tools, it's the only healthy and true relationship we can have with them. When we reach the boundaries and have learned enough, we can go and make our own tools, explore their failures, and excel within them." -FullTEXT-citation
