As part of my initial and contextual research I went on a Gallery visit to the Tate Modern. I looked at the Texture & Photography and Gustav Metzge displays, along with other displays such as Andy Warhol, Modern Times, Barbra Krurger and Cildo Miereles.
Five projectors which each contain a single slide of liquid crystals. The projectors are equipt with rotating polarising filters and a cooling and heating system, which cause the the liquid crystal to liquefy or freeze, resulting in a constant change in the appearance of the crystals which are being projected.
I did not really see the purpose in this display, except for it's aesthetics.
A tower of radios all playing at once, in order to convey ideas of information overload and failed or thwarted communication.
I thought this display was slightly more relevant to my project as it incorporated technology from different eras, as the radios ranged from new modern radios, to old retro radios. It made me think about other ways I could display my work, rather than just producing a visual in a digital format, and instead produce a visual installation.
Andy Warhol- Marilyn Diptych (1962)
Brabra Kruger
Overall I did not find the displays very relevant to my project, therefore the research wasn't very helpful to me in terms of inspiration, however I did help open my eyes to different mediums/techniques I could consider working in.
