Muybridge captured progressive movements within fractions of a second and organized them to make moving pictures. The 3D movement of the figure is constantly photographed within many frames, which can give us the sequential effect of multi-viewpoints of the same figure. This can help us understand motion as every change in movement of the figure is captured in a flat picture.
Muybridge made his ground breaking images of race horses seemingly flying through mid-air in mid-pace and proved that the horse is still in motion while all four of its hooves are off the ground, which otherwise cannot be spotted with the naked eye.
What I found most fascinating at this exhibition were the photographs that Muybridge took from two slightly different angles, so that when you look at them with the equipment provided, these two images merge together to form a single 3-dimensional image.
These two images are seemingly the same, but they are taken from slightly different angles.
PROJECT #3 AUDIENCE
For this project, we had to attempt to convey a message visually to an intended receiver. We had a week for this project, and on the first two days I brainstormed different ideas and in the end decided to send a message to my brother, who is the receiver, commenting on his obsession with gaming. Filling a sketchbook, I explored ways in which this idea could be conveyed visually, with a range of ideas. I started experimenting with discs and tried snapping them and burning them.
My final piece is a sequence of melting discs until the final one has a message scratched on it. Although it was a good idea at the time, I thought after the group assessment that I should have done something closer to the subject matter, for example using a technical piece to send a clearer message and providing more visual evidence of the receiver.
