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.
