Instruction
Combine and merge previous representation of senses to develop more complex representations closer to the true sensory experience.
Purpose
Work with designing what is the most and least important parts of a particular representation. Iterate as much as possible, merge representations, combine representations, subtract representations. Experiment and find something new, keep in mind if the new combined representation still hold the same meaning or if it has changed.
My Interpretation
I split groups of combinations into three sections: the audience, the actor, and the set. For the audience, I ended up mostly combining sight, sound, and scent representations as you can never touch the audience as you bow, but you can definitely hear them. I focused a lot of waves, emanating lines, and stacked/busy compositions. For the actor, I focused mostly on touch and emotions. I iterated a lot, and some patterns, such as [REDACTED] were a combined pattern that lost the meaning that it’s two parts held together. I found a lot of success in negative space and erasing a lot in this section. Finally, for the set, I focused back on scent and sight again. The set is usually a very harsh and chemically smelling place, as well as a very special place that only the actors get to interact with. I aimed to explore that by being so personal with the representations and their combinations.
