:PERMANENT_FLUX [initial experiment 2]:

I took a time-lapse video of the car park outside my house to see what I got. I was filming 2 secs per minute for about 6 hours. I overlaid some stills from the video to produce this composition that looks as if the car park is total gridlock.

:PERMANENT_FLUX [initial experiment 1]:

The first thing I thought of in relation to Permanent Flux is time. The most apparent unstoppable constant. This lead me onto time-lapse photography and by using a longer exposure on one of the loaned uni digital slr cameras I took these shots from a bridge above the M62.

:PERMANENT_FLUX [project brief]:

Cut and pasted Permanent Flux Brief....

Permanent Flux

You are asked to create a body of work that explores the concept ‘Permanent Flux’.

You should select appropriate media technologies to realise your ideas.
The work should reflect your personal interests and engage with your area of specialism.
The aim of this assignment is to ‘play’ with ideas and produce distinctive studio work by mixing critical theory with innovative application of digital technologies.

In the following weeks we aim to contextualise this brief through a series of screenings, discussions and tutorial sessions.

Your final Intermediate Studio portfolio should demonstrate a growing interest and expertise in your particular area of study. All Intermediate Studio projects will receive a final mark at the end of this term. The final marks will be compiled and will constitute your final grade.

Submission Components:
Sketchbooks & notebooks (screen and/or paper based)
A body of computer based experiments (web/video/scripted/modelled) showing the development of your ideas over time.
Design boards/Story boards/Interpretation boards
D. A finished piece.

Assessment Strategy:
Evidence:
The production of the body of work outlined above.
Verbal examination supported by presentations of media artefacts and prototypes.
Demonstrating an understanding of the relationships between technology, philosophy, artistic activity, design and language.

Assessment Weighting:
100% Portfolio and verbal examination.
This assignment constitutes 100% of the marks for the Intermediate Studio Module (TermTwo) and 50% of the total marks for the Intermediate Studio module TIC 1018.

Reviews and Presentations
You are required to make a verbal presentation of your research and final portfolio in front of a panel of reviewers. You may be required to respond to questions from the panel.

Assessment Criteria
a) Concept Development
b) Aesthetics and Language
c) Technical Response
d) Integration and Synthesis
