Project #4 Exquisite Corpse
Description
Exquisite Corpse without background(P5.JS Link) Exquisite Corpse with background(P5.JS Link)The head is my sketch. The background story is: You know that place between sleep and awake? That place where you still remember dreaming? If you can't find your way back to the awake world/reality, you will see him. However, he's not always him. Sometimes you might see an old lady with a basket full of leftover time, a mid-age men with a time thefting hand, or a little girl sleeping in blooming time pedals. It's because he's not him. He is you. The hybrid YOU with the greatest fear and hope. It reflects the your deepest question of what does it mean for you to be on HERE. But don't be afraid, he does nothing to you. He is just always waiting for you between the stages when you're lost and found.
With the body of a motorcyclist and the feet from a happy ghost who's birthday is today. You can see You's face reflecting you (webcam) and it's always chaning just like the flower pedals spinning underneath. the motercuyclist is rigid and strict, he holds it together. AND today's is Forty, the happy ghost's birthday! There are grafetti everywhere celebrating this sepcial day :))
Design Process
I am with Daniel and Allison a group. Daniel drew a motorcyclist. Allsion drew a frinedly ghost named Forty.
Forty works as an accountant at a law firm. He’s super friendly but often is drowned in work so he doesn’t go out very much. But today is his birthday and he’s enjoying every minute of it. He loves balloons. Both the motocylist and Forty gave a very cartoony aesthetic which went well in the sketch. I tried to incorporate my head with a more sketching feeling with the circles mimicking paint brush. At the end, I think the final product look very interesting and unexpected.
Reflection
This is the first time for me that I'm not creating generative art. I actually hard coded everything, and every shape. I didn't let the computer just generate visuals run by a logic. It is actually intesting for me to figure out how to code the same things more efficiently with variables, logics, and functions. I spent around five hours to finish this sketch and I think this project had really improved some of my most foundamental coding skills.
