ClASS FEEDBACKS：
Work:
– The presentation is working in showing the process.
– Interesting to see the comparison between replicas and originals.
– Most intrigued when starting to move away from the box shape and play with the paper. (Kind of like approximating the shape of objects using paper. More creative of how the paper is structured.)
– The way of expressing and display of 2D and 3D is really impressive. From the 3D sculptures can see the 2D nature and depth. The grey and shadow of the replica are intuitive pleasing.
– The rendering of different shapes depending on objects.
Questions:
Why presented paper sculptures with original objects?
(Want to show the process:
Original-> digital replica->reforming from replica->digital replica of replica)
Showing the original object is necessary?:
Without the original object — there would be some guessing involved. (Use plinths like museum setting but make with paper. Maybe use captions. let the viewer guess the original through replica)
With the original object next to it — it can show the relation between the shape of the original object and how they have to be scanned, which can show the scanning and manipulating process.
*Having the object and replicas side to side is like the negotiation between the medium you are using and the manipulations you can make.
Developing further:
-The choice of items: Maybe include those items that are hard to scan, which can show the limitation of the scanner
-Maybe present the replicas in the context. (Such as the rock in the natural environment)
-Use paper sculptures playing with the unreality of photography. (Using replicas as props)
Critical inquiry: to what extent can you reform a 3-dimensional paper version of an object from 2-dimensional scans. These suggest the original without being a totally accurate version of it.
