Drawing of Phenomenon in Progress

So my attempts of illustrating my monster and its string geometry "phenomenon" is still in drawing form. I have managed to develop and map its movement, but I haven't been satisfied with capturing its phenomenon. So here is it in working progress

Recent developments

After coming back from Montreal and questioning the direction of my projects, I can conclude that I have undeniably come back to theatre and music on some sort of level. Although my research has been concentrated more on Etienne Jules Marey and also more contemporary works such as Manuel Baez and The Phenomenological Garden,
I have also stumbled across the geometries of music harmonics and the mathematical background to is as well. In many similar ways, there are aspects which relate with my earlier research on Oskar Schlemmer and with my more recent studio work developed in Montreal. Below is a link I found which also you to make geometries based on the loading and tension of a simple string.

Further direction on my project

So after a week away from Montreal and seeing my flaws and personal disappointments with my project, I am a month away from review. in addition to this deadline, I need to further extrapolate the direction of my project and have a final development in regards to its purpose.
Based on our group studio, questions which need to be addressed by the end of the semester are:
-To build a structure for my monster and no...a leash just won't do
-To finally resolve the purpose and behavior of my monster
-Have an idea of its site and an idea how it will respond with and to the site
and finally to develop a direction based on the phenomenons it created and more accurately what I acquired by observations.

Montreal Review @ the Hexagram Black Box Studio

The beginning of the week at Concordia University consisted of setting up our project and introductions with the TML media group. We managed to get an understanding of everyone's specialities and each individual established a focus of who they were going to work with throughout the week.
Throughout the week, we placed trusses, which were going to be used for lighting by TML and we develop dialogue with them regarding our intention with lighting and sound.
My initial installation consisted of simply hanging from the post which were designated to each one of us, unfortunately, my obsession for perfection got the best of me and I worked on suiting my project, and adjusting it to the space we were provided. This of course consisted of designing and fabricating new pieces to fit the post, which they were to hang from.

As well, throughout the week, we were to present our project to various groups, which were scheduled to stop by and get an experience of our project.



















By Thursday afternoon, I was finally at a point where I was about to begin my installation. I managed to figure out my circuit with individuals from TML and was in the process to having a final functional piece ready for Friday. The idea was to have multiple motors running continuously for a period of time, to create geometry and space through the movement of the mechanical devices. due to the disk and the size of the disk and also there location on a fixed length of string. Based on different location on the string and different amount of disk on the string...the outcome of the geometry is different each time. The intent was to create multiple formation based on the devices with string.
The final outcome which developed was unexpected but still, it managed to convey the basic idea of my project. Therefore, I leave you with a couple images which may help individuals understand my project a little more clearly.

Schematic of my monster

During my long, yet interesting bus ride from Montreal, I came to the conclusion that my monster has more opportunities, than I had initially given it credit for. Although I am not fully resolved in the method in which this may occur, I believe that it has the capability of being activated by light sensors, which would be connected to the Arduino and perhaps, have different characteristic encoded into them. the result of my schematic is to provide individuals from TML an understanding of my concept and ideas which I would like to implement. To achieve these goal, I believe this week will consist on researching and exploration of video projection and possibly sound, through activation by arduino or other devices which my classmates will be providing.
Here are the following sketches and schematics.
