More TS spreads: more on the supermarket tomorrow!

One of the augmented portrait views of the supermarket.

Progress has been a bit slower than I intended over this weekend… but I’ll accelerate the production for this week!

I’ve been working on the calculations for TS to prove that real-time rendering may be possible by 2030/2040. The spreads below start to explain/calculate that idea – there are a couple more to go after this to show how contact lens AR may be possible in the near future. 

Here’s an outline of what I believe needs to be done for the TS submission (further developing the supermarket scene, the underpass, and the urban palimpsest are included, as well as doing some quick concept art for 3 of the other scenes):

More TS spreads… working on the tests of occlusion/distance/view angle now. 

WIP TS Spreads and Contents.

I am currently working on a screenplay which can communicate the ideas of the previous storyboard in short film format. In response to the jury comments, I am rewriting the film to include more domestic scenes. As such, it is intended that a large part of the film will now take place inside a room (still with multiple character AR views and the ‘nude view’). The TS idea is to document, design, and choreograph these interior scenes – aiming toward both an ‘augmentable’ scale model and 1:1 installation (in which the interior scenes take place).

The TS will therefore focus on ‘Space Matching’  – an exploration on how to (as seamlessly as possible) merge physical and virtual environments.

Regarding the White Book, the plan is to do 4 magazine issues (of which the TS will be one).

In style and format I am currently imagining something like the Next Nature book series:

Lastly – an interesting article from motherboard describing a political model not dissimilar to Le.

It led me to FLUX – an Australian political party with no policies and no politicians – just a real-time algorithm that allows members to vote on policies as they are brought up in parliament.

There are plenty of things that I had taped on the to do wall but loads was not done to 100 % due to freak eye/throat virus but here goes.

Tomorrow is for planning next TS part pages and hopefully presentation.

After a TS tutorial with Evan, much became clear…

My TS will be a case study of how to cut and tunnel through one particular mountain, as a sort of instruction manual on how to perform any cut. Ideally, Mount Everest – as if you can create a deep vertical cut through that – you can through any mountain!

New ts spreads in no particular order

FORGER, FAKER, FICTION MAKER

 I. Introduction

The relationship of the forgery and the original

 II. Recon

1.Excavation of the Carceri from the perspective of the two forgers:

1.1. the archeological process; aerial archeology; new methods of archeology

1.Extending the museum into the city in order to house the artefact of today (including architecture) and replacing these artefacts with fakes (the Anti-Museum):

1.1. case study of the expansion of the British museum

2. Faking architecture (the Potempkin):

2.1. the role of light when faking space (Light from a point source travels in a spherical wave, decreasing in intensity (or illuminance) as the inverse square of the distance travelled. This means that a light source must be four times as bright to produce the same illuminance at an object twice as far away. Thus to create the illusion of a distant object being at the same distance as a near object and scaled accordingly, much more light is required.)

2.2 Andrea Pozzo’s etchings in  Perspectiva pictorum et architectorum

3.1. the Casablanca film set (airport in a sound stage)

3.5. the dome of San’Ignazio, Rome

4. Site of the Anti-Museum:

4.1 case study of Las Vegas and the desert

4.2. find site/s

V. The Museum and the Anti Museum

Construction of the real space and fake space of the Museum and the Anti-Museum which function almost as imperfect mirrors:

1. expanding the British museum to the point that it engulfs chunks of London

2. find a site/s for the Anti-Museum and construct its fakes

Completing all the unfinished pages. Details on their way soon…
