Research - The Art of Memory

donderdag 10 februari 2011


On the creator's website I came across his conceptual basis. This lead me to the theory of 'The Art Of Memory'.

The Art of Memory
Hypertext and The Art Of Memory

From the ancient greek theory I came a cross the goddess Mnemosyne, which very much intrests me just like the story of Pandora.

Mapping

I am trying to use Prezi to map out my research and process. It is till a bit of a try and error to use it but I have a feeling that it might work for me.

Alternate Reality Game

The ARG genre is a big inspiration how to use the world as the platform of the game. Even though one might know an ARG there is no real definition of the genre. There a different views on what makes an ARG. I remember when I went to the ARGfest 2010 that there still many ways to use the idea of an ARG. During my visit there I sometimes felt that they might make the games a bit to hardcore and therefor never really get the mainstream audience to play along.

This brings me to a post I found of a company that do make ARG like games. He explains many things I have also observed. Though, he wrote this in December of 2008 I feel that these issues still are current.
Everything you know about ARGs is WRONG

The thing I am mostly curios about is what they call the Rabbit Hole. The first contact between the players to the actual game. How do we guide them to the game and keep them captivated to play.

Color Codification Dot Drawings
- Lauren DiCioccio

Lauren DiCioccio is an emerging artist living in the Bay Area, an hour south of San Francisco. Born and raised in Philadelphia, DiCioccio received a BA from Colgate University in 2002 where she studied art and art history. Though academically trained in painting, much of her current body of work employs the medium of embroidery, which she learned at an early age from her mother. DiCioccio has shown her work at venues in San Francisco including: Jack Fischer Gallery, Intersection for the Arts, The Lab and the SFMOMA Artists Gallery. In 2011, her work will be shown in exhibitions at the Bellevue Museum of Art and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

To make each painting, I lay a sheet of frosted mylar over a magazine page. I assign a color to every letter (numbers are shades of grayscale) and apply tiny dots of paint over every character on the page according to my color-code. Making the paintings is a lot like solving a cryptogram and the result is a legible blur of dots in the form of the article’s layout, a kind of Braille for the color-inclined.

THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY

The thing I found fascinating was the short animations that were guidelines of the galaxy. A fun and different perspective of the things we already know or thought we know.
