Feedback:

I have a strong idea but i need to do more modelling and developing my design in sufficient detail. I need to move into the rendering phase, creating clear images to convey my ideas.

Moire Effect:

‘Moiré effect is a visual perception that occurs when viewing a set of lines or dots that is superimposed on another set of lines or dots, where the sets differ in relative size, angle, or spacing. The moiré effect can be seen when looking through ordinary window screens at another screen or background. It can also be generated by a photographic or electronic reproduction, either deliberately or accidentally.’ Its this effect that I am trying to create with in the site. Drawing inspiration from a electronic moire effect.

The below images show the colours that come from this effect from a digital environment.

Mercante Testa:

Mercante tasta is a design studio in Italy that does interesting designs that play with colours, unique modern forms whilst nodding to a retro style of design. They very cleverly marry materials, textures and odd shapes to construct their spaces.

A project that I really like is their Restoration and enlargement of boutique in Milan:

The attention to detail in the little moments are what gives this space its wow factor.

IMARIKA

What I will work on going forward:

I will start doing more digital modelling to flesh out my ideas and create clear design drawings and assembly.

I will also develop my food element of the design exploring the nature of touch and transfer of food on our hands.

Create more of a wow moment. Create suspense, climax within the space rather than filling the whole space with my intervention.

The theme that I need to develop is that the screen is the psychedelic opiate for this space.

Explore systems for warping vision/ warping perception. The menu looks like something but tastes like something else?

How would I invite people to participate? flyers? age demographic?

Artists i’m looking at –

Bridget Riley – Moire effect

Riley was born at Norwood, London. She studied at Goldsmiths’ College from 1949 to 1952, and at the Royal College of Art from 1952 to 1955. She began painting figure subjects in a semi-impressionist manner, then changed to pointillism around 1958, mainly producing landscapes. In 1960 she evolved a style in which she explored the dynamic potentialities of optical phenomena. These so-called ‘Op-art’ pieces, such as Fall, 1963, produce a disorienting physical effect on the eye.

Heston’s feasts – exploring traditional meals:

Heston’s feasts follows Blumenthal as he conceptualises and prepares unique feasts for the entertainment of celebrity guests. The dining room, food, and presentation are themed around a period of history.

I’m wanting to create a food intervention that affects the hands in some way and I really liked the response that Hestons desert got from this episode, in regards to the sherbet and how it made peoples hands and faces sticky. I would love for the food to mark a persons hand and i just thought of my childhood when i’d eat raro and my hands would turn yellow. It would be good to trial some things to see how i can get peoples hands sticky.

I really like how the guests are transported in the Charlie and the chocolate factory episode of Hestons Feast. Playing with the perception of what is edible and what isn’t, a theme that was significant in the original story and something i want to bring into my intervention.
