maps and craps
Ayo, this blog is about my map project, and sorry for rants and thought explosions.
When i think about it, everything is a map. Because a map is a representation of something else, and we all see the world represented in different ways based on our own development. I feel like everything we ever come in contact with is a representation. Weve never seen things how they really are, which is flat and completely blank, we make representations of things, and we make things exist. Everything that was ever created is just a map of the processes and ideas that went in to creating it. The idea behind my map is a collaboration of stuff. It is a map of brain waves and the brain waves are at the same time a map of birds migrating, so all together it is a map of change of thought or mood, or anything. I liked this idea because to me, it is a map of being a live. How everything is in a constant state of change as each second melts away time just keeps going and going and changes occur infintely. In being alive, everyday, we are accepting change and are always changing. Life is about that change.
I know that i am going to have difficult meeting the deadline to this project but i will try my best. So far i have made 2 models, one is exact. i broke the head of the model in to 5 simple pieces and then measured each piece by lining it with string, then i labeled the strings so that i can lay them on to the rods i will use and mark where i need to cut them. I marked on the string where the different pieces join together, which i will mark on the rods because that indicates a weld. After i make the head i do not think that i will use rods to make the brain waves because they will have very sharp angles that i dontthink i can achieve with that. Ill try to use wire. The sun part i will use a rod, bend it 90 degrees with that angle machine thing and weld the circle to it, and use wire for the rays. I will then make the birds out of cans im thinking, because i dont like them as wire silhouettes. the last part is the brain wich i will make out of plaster, and cut a tiny latch. i will then put one of the birds poking out. i will then do one last thing but im not saying what it is since my ideas will prob change.
By doing that, having the birds come from teh brain, it says a lot of things to me. It makes me think about humans and birds, and how we basically do the same thing. Their migration is just like our entire lives,always moving and traveling, and their nest is our brain, where we house everything and live. i dont know i just feel like being human doesnt mean we arent basic things. eeverything we do is as basic as what a bird does, we just hide it so that we dont even think about it. i dont know if thats good or bad, but thats why i feel like existing is fake and stupid, when it comes to society. anyway, i hope i get my project done, and i just want to get it done because i want to make it be alive in the same way it is alive in my head. I think thats why i miss animation so much because i could make people see the things that i think in my head. When people watched my animations they could SEE what was inside of my head, it was like i could see my dreams coming alive, and i really miss that so much because it was the craziest coolest feeling i have ever had in my entire life.
