Brief One 

Research Major 
Project proposal

​

Background:
In different civilizations, there are different patterns of recording time and events.In ancient times, people painted stories on the walls,  recorded things in sculpture, and then evolved into descriptions in writing. With the development of technology, this series of narratives has become traditional. To modern people to record things in the way of new media, photography and photography. But some of the historical monuments we see still remain in the pattern of sculpture and painting in the past.

​

How can digital and spatial techniques be used to create the urban intervention, to provide a better experience of visiting Melbourne's city?

​

Contexts: Human development is a process of continuous promotion, as same as the development of time that will only go forward. When history becomes traces recorded in descriptive form, we should also generate a new method of time expression that present is constantly becoming the past.

​

Motivation:  The traditional exhibition is located inside the museum and art gallery. Intend to provide a better visitor experience for the tourists who are travelling in the central city, this project is engaging to combine the exhibition function into the main street of Melbourne City - Swanston st. Through a new form of media display, an immersive experience is provided for the audience while they are visiting the small exhibition space on the street.

 

​

Main Points:
1. combine the visualization technique and sound installation within the internal space.
2. an immersive experience for the visitors/tourists, a new memorial hall for the Melbourne citizens.
3. shape of the exhibition hall is different base on the surrounding environment and conditions, intend to create different sounds effect in each chosen site.  It leads to creating different memory points and fragment while the visitors walking on the main street of the city.

Technologies and exploration:

Produce a series of collage about the historic Melbourne urban interior.
Create a continues documentation of Melbourne [file and photography].
Recording from a different participant.
Generate a programming animation and set up an installation in the interior space.
Engage an immersive experience about the changing of the urban interior.

Critical Reflection and what will be designed next:

​

the idea of time relic is a continuous process of recording, we are a part of the time and we are a part of the events.

as a new generation of memorial hall and the interior space has transferred into a digital form of time sculpture.

​

​

continue to refine the concept idea for the major proposal.

find an urban location and create a site analysis that space conforms to the time relic. 

thinking the connection between the urban citizens and the relic hall.

a series of practice about the new media form.
