EXP 2: Week 3: Installation – Crysis Sandbox 2 Elements


The video and images below portray the conceptual nature of the installation I wish to use for experiment 2 regarding my porosity lens focused on portraying the nature and experience of depression within a unique environment.



Note: Highly recommended to watch in HD 1080p.

- Installation Conceptual Statement -

The installation I wish to incorporate within experiment two takes the form of various complex interconnecting platforms which will allow the protagonist to move between the stations structural prefab when it is rotate at any angle upon any axis, thus allowing for one to interact with the environment. Although the overall installation appears rather simple, it provides a medium for the interactions to occur, and when considered further becomes quite complex. The simple geometry of the platforms needs to provide level surfaces which line up perfectly when rotate and moved around individually as it becomes separated into 27 components, while remaining to allow a way for the person to walk between the intersections. This notion provides the interconnection to my porosity lens which I attempting to portray in the sense that this installation appears simple in form but in context and application is extremely complex and involved. Such is the same with depression, as from an exterior point of view one is unable to grasp the true depth of such a condition, while those who experience it (hence interact with) are able to truly comprehend the complexity of the condition upon the individually physically and emotionally, thus enhancing my porosity lens.

The collaboration of images above presents the overall composition of the installation within the station prefab. We identify the manner in which the installation is uniform in its geometry working the same at any rotation upon any of the axis, allowing an individual to move throughout the structure. Such is enhanced through the collaboration of stairs as one is further able to move between the two levels. However within the final installation there will be in fact three levels. Additionally through careful consideration I have decided to remove the stairs component allowing the protagonist to simply ‘fall’ between the levels, thus doing so in a more ‘swiftly’ movement to represent the manner in which on with depression simply floats in a sense unconsciously through life.

The series of images above portrays the interior aspect of the installation concept. Hence the multi-dimensional paths and doorway, as one identifies the manner in which they interconnect. I quite like the manner in which the persona of the environment, through the unique dispersion of light is enhanced due to the influences upon the structural members of the station. However within these images we identify the first issue between the interaction of the station and installation as within the bottom left image we can see particular members block particular pathways and thus will need to be cut way and re-formed.
