Broken ‒ digitalna instalacija

Abstract

Doktorski projekat Broken je umetnički eksperiment u polju kompozitne digitalne slike. Radi se o interdisciplinarnom projektu koji koristi digitalne tehnologije za kreiranje virtuelnog imaginarnog prostora sa idejom da posmatrača uvede u novi ambijent. Cilj projekta je da posredstvom digitalnih medija, kreativnim putem, istraži pitanje građenja slike, doživljaja prostora i percepcije onoga što nas okružuje. U radu će biti istraženo pitanje: koliko je kreirana slika stvarnosti samo refleksija sveta koji nas okružuje, a koliko kolaž koji svako od nas sklapa za sebe? U isto vreme, rad će pokušati da odgonetne na koji način se gradi vizuelni doživljaj i da li slika može da uvuče posmatrača u svoj prostor. Proces kreiranja i komponovanja u digitalnom okruženju posmatra se paralelno sa procesom sklapanja značenja slike u oku posmatrača. Za istraživanje je posebno zanimljivo pitanje dela i celine, odnosno izlomljene, kompozitne strukture rada za koje je kao metafora uzeta vizuelna agnozija (poremećaj u percepciji). Kroz osvrt i poređenje kako čovek, a kako kompjuter razume sliku, rad pokušava da odgonetne kada izlomljena struktura postaje celina i dobija značenje. U širem smislu, cilj digitalne instalacije Broken je da posetioca pokrene na kreativno učestvovanje, oslobađanje, kritički odnos i promišljanje o vizuelnom ‒ da prihvati sumnju u granice percepcije, problematizuje viđeno i doživljeno, da vizuelni doživljaj uporedi sa misaonim, da pokuša da doživi sopstveni trenutak i prisustvo u prostoru i vremenu. Za realizaciju vizuelnog dela umetničkog projekta, korišćeni su programi za video kompoziting i animaciju After Effects, Photoshop, Maya, Cinema 4D, koji u kombinaciji sa zvučnim sadržajem čini jedinstvenu digitalnu instalaciju odnosno digitalni ambijent. Rad je stvaran kroz eksperiment i igru likovnih elemenata (boje, tekstura, oblika) koji su oživljeni i pokrenuti kroz animaciju i upotpunjeni zvukom poštujući jasan radni proces. Umetnički projekat Broken nadovezuje se na ranije radove i inspirisan je radovima drugih umetnika sa ciljem da dublje i sveobuhvatnije istraži aspekte digitalne slike, virtuelnog prostora i pejzaža, animacije i kolaža na estetskom, likovnom i perceptivnom nivou.

Doctoral art project Broken is art experiment in the field of composite digital picture. Broken is interdisciplinary project which uses digital technology in order to create virtual imaginary space with an idea to lead the viewer into new ambience. By using digital technology and creative approach, the aim of the project is to explore the issue of constructed images, the way people experience space and perceive the world around us. The project will explore the question: how much is the image of reality just a reflection of the outside world or a collage that each of us assemble for ourselves? At the same time, the work is going to try to demonstrate how visual experience is formed and how image can immerse a viewer into its own space. The process of creating and composing in the digital environment is observed parallel with the process of concluding the meaning of the image in the eye of the beholder. Aside from exploring the perception of visual content, also, the work is going to address the process of building a collage pictures. Taking visual agnosia as a paradigm and metaphor for an unexplored gap between vision, language and memory, particularly interesting for the project is to explore the question of the piece (fragment) and the whole ̶ composite structure. In comparison how man and how computer understands the image, the work tries to explore at which point the broken structure becomes the whole and meaningful. In a broader sense, the aim of the project Broken is to encourage the viewer to creative participation, liberation and critical relationship to visual: to accept doubts about perception limits, question what already has been seen or experienced, compare the visual experience with the contemplative, to try to experience the own moment and presence in space and time. For the realization of the visual part of the project, software for video compositing and 3D animation (After Effects, Photoshop, Maya, Cinema 4D) are used, which in combination with the audio content makes unique digital installation (digital ambience). The work was made in the process of playing and experimenting with visual elements (colour, texture, shapes) that are animated and complemented by sound, respecting a clear working process. Art project Broken is continuity of earlier works and it is inspired by the works of other artists in order to more deeply and comprehensively explore aspects of digital images, virtual space and landscapes, animation and collages at the aesthetic, visual and perceptual level.
