Surrealism and Research
The rooms are vecoming increasingly surreal.I have added a falling room,(only online in part, at the moment) accessable from a small door in room one, and from this room, the user 'falls'; eventually hitting the bottom, but along the way can click on a number of elements, such as a Window(this one works right now), taking the user to a strange sky-room, eventully falling back into the hall.
From this new sense of surrealsim, two things have arisen.
1. It is now becoming easier for me to imagine a narrative, a surreal world, perhaps somthing like a haunted house in which my rooms are located. i already have planned more surreal rooms, like a room open to the elements; a missing wall exposed to the outside.
2. the Exclusion of the figure walking around has both aided the Surrealist illision, almost giving the user oppurtunity to float around the rooms and makes the rooms easier for me to create, escpecially when creating the surrealer rooms.
RESEARCH
I have now three books, Poetics of Space
, Perspective
and a Perspective DEsiogn Handbook
. i have not yet begun to read Poetics, but have studied with this book before. The Vredeman De Vries book is especially usefull at this design stage, helping me to assemble the increasingly surreal world od ROOMS. I am hoping that with this research, as well as an ongoing attempt to atain more will provide me with the basis in which to place my work in a variety of contexts; not just the context of the internet as a whole.
