| − | A week of working together with students from other disciplines. It’s refreshing to work with other points of view, frustrating because most would rather work on their own thing, fun because you end up with a totally different project than anticipated. So overall it’s a challenge.

| |
| − | "Capture a list of interesting and curious works in the Boijmans van Beuningen museum."
| |
| − | | |
| − | I enjoyed walking through the museum and just look for the little details most people didn’t notice, like the hooks on which a Dali hangs on the wall, the little cracks in the floor or the reflections you can see in the glass protecting the artworks. Reminding myself I easily get drowned in little details and forgetting the big picture, from time to time I forced myself to take a step back and look at the entire artworks, not just the tiny anomalies I love to find.

| |
| − | "Steal a work from the Boijmans van Beuningen museum."
| |
| − | Don’t worry! No works of art will be harmed and I’m pretty sure all students will leave the museum without handcuffs!
| |
| − | | |
| − | We need to build a device to capture a work of art and reproduce either a copy or a new work of art from it.

| − | '''<font color="#A9D0F5">.Day 1.</font>''' This is the first day of our graduation year, the first assignment for our minor and what is the thought on most minds “I hope we don’t have to work in a group.”
| |
| − | Don’t get me wrong I do like working in a group, but creative people are stubborn and prefer to work on their own thing (myself definitely included!) and that can make the process a lot more challenging than needed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | So are there any criminal masterminds in the Graphic design, Lifestyle, Animation and Fashion departments?
| |
| − | Inspired by the "Leave something of yourself" table, we want to build a device to capture the textures of a brush stroke or the material or the contour of an artwork. After it's captured we want to transform the texture in a pattern which can be stamped, printed or embossed so the visitors of de Wereld van de Witte de With can take something with them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''<font color="#A9D0F5">.Day 2.</font>''' Research on capturing textures and transforming them. I looked into ways to capture the height difference in a texture, are there distance sensors we could use? But as I feared this would require more advanced material than we could get our hands on.
| |
| − | What about making pictured from multiple angles? Again not the result we wanted.
| |
| − | So what about transforming a picture with a program like processing?
| |
| − | | |
| − | The others didn't have much success either, so it was back to the drawing board and some test were made by capturing the contour of objects with wire. This way capturing the essence of the art work in one line really appealed to us. A few quick sketches for the tool and presentation was made. I went home to figure out how we could use DC motors to make a rotating presentation, so it the wires would spin a new shape would form and in that a new artwork.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''<font color="#A9D0F5">.Day 3.</font>''' '''The Heist.''' We met at the Wood workshop and after the last tool was finished we set of to the museum. With my camera in hand I captured the heist and played the tourist if a security guard would walk by. Though after a while we were forming the wires out in the open and many guards saw us, but as soon as I took a picture of the guard, they would walk away.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''<font color="#A9D0F5">.Day 4.</font>''' The Metro's weren't running in the morning so I stayed home and kept working on the motors for the presentation. As a group we tried to make a plan via skype, but did not turn out the way I hoped, so in the end for the presentation a construction was made that couldn't be run by the motor I was working on.
| |
| − | The feedback of the presentation aid we had an interesting way of capturing the artwork but it didn't show in the final presentation. So the work was reviewed and the new product would be a movie of a bigger piece which was captured.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''<font color="#A9D0F5">.Day 5.</font>''' While the video was being shot I was making the new nameplates for the exhibition. Due to private stuff and a workshop weekend I couldn't stick around for the build or the festival.

| − | For my forgery I wanted to find a beast like, ugly and grotesque relic. I hoped to find it at the Grrr aminals around the world exhibition at the Volkenkunde museum in Leiden. It was a fun exhibition and I saw some works I liked, but they where way to ambitions for the amount of time, like the 2 meter high statue of Garuda.

| − | While roaming the museum it became clear choosing something wasn't as easy as I hoped. I didn't see anything that immediately sparked my fascination.
| |
| − | I didn't want to use 3d modelling and my sculpting skills are nonexistent, so I decided not to pick a statue, or a piece of jewellery. Also not to pick something like a garment or mask, because it felt to close to fashion, I wanted an object to transform into something fashionable.

| − | In the end I chose a Wayang shadow puppet, I remember being mesmerized by these puppets when I was a child and this puppet is proper ugly, just the way I like.
| |
| − | The challenge with this type of Wayang is the fact it's flat, normally in a garment or object I can hide things on the inside.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To recreate the artefact I want to use the laser cutter and experiment with materials of various thickness's and play with transparency.
| |

| − | '''<font color="#BE81F7">. Wayang .</font>'''
| |
| − | In Javanese the word Wayang means Shadow and is used to refer to an ancient form of storytelling, the shadow theatre. Which is known for the intricately designed puppets and complex music.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are various types of Wayang puppets, all of them crafted by hand.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Wayang Kulit are probably the best known. Kulit means skin and it is probably the best way to describe these thin puppets, usually made out of leather. The leather is worked with fine tools to create the intricate design of holes and cut outs, so when the puppet is lit from behind this pattern becomes the shadow projected on the screen. These puppets are also painted and gilded, though this does not show in the shadows.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 3 dimensional puppets are called Wayang klitik or golèk. Made of wood and fabric, they are operated by a rod through the body of the doll and rods attached to the hands. This type o f puppet is not lit from behind and is fully visible to the audience.

| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | The Wayang theatre is about telling stories of Good vs. Evil, where good always wins. I'm fascinated by the concept of Good & Evil, my version of Good is very different from many others. In my opinion you're evil if you take a gun and shoot someone in the face, it might be a popular opinion, but you'll be surprised how many people who can think of many reason to justify this act of violence.

| − | '''<font color="#BE81F7">. The Process .</font>'''
| |
| − | In the museum I made a whole load of detailed pictures, so I could easily trace the pattern of the puppet without too much guessing. So the first step was puzzling these pictures together into a huge collage, now the tracing can start.

| |
| − | | |
| − | I decided not to trace the entire doll, it will take too much time which I want to use on experimenting with the laser cutter and for me it's all about that face.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm glad I chose the laser cutter as a tool to work with, it's an interesting machine and I'm very inspired to work with it for my transformation. Most of the time when the laser cutter is used in fashion it's to cut out geometric shapes from one layer of fabric. I do not find this interesting, there has to be more you can do with layers etc.
| |
| − | | |
| − | During my first presentation I was also talking about not being able to hide anything with a flat object. Because I want to work with a single layer I tested a way of connecting materials, by cutting a thicker material and glueing a thinner material in it.
| |
| − | Before the experiment I wanted to use this way to build my replica, but after testing I think it´s to fragile to hold with this sort of connection due to the holes and I don´t want to adjust the size of the holes or anything.
