TO GET AHEAD, GET A HAT
by ..:: IAMRAV ::..
SO MY FIRST BRIEF OF MY MA DESIGN STUDIES COURSE WAS TO MAKE A HAT THAT SYMBOLISED WHO I AM, WHERE I WANT TO BE AND HOW TO GET THERE. AFTER GOING TO THE MAHARAJA AND DECODE EXHIBITION I EMBODIED MY ETHNICITY IN MY PIECE;
ELEPHANT - ROYAL INDIAN SIGN OF WEALTH AND PROSPERITY
LION HEAD - ROYAL INDIAN SIGN OF POWER AND INDEPENDENCE
SUN - MEANING OF MY NAME 'RAVINDRA = SUN-GOD"
INSTEAD OF REALLY MAKING A HAT TO COVER HAIR I DEFINED A HAT AS 'SOMETHING YOU WEAR ON YOUR HEAD', THEREFORE MY 'HAT' WAS A CONCEPT PAIR OF HEADPHONES THAT YOU WEAR LIKE SPECTACLES. THE REASON WHY I DID HEADPHONES BECAUSE THERE WERE METAPHORS TO MYSELF BEING FOCUSSED ON MY GOAL BUT STILL TAKING IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND JUST IN GENERAL I LOVE MUSIC.
ANYWAY ENOUGH JIBBER-JABBER...CHECK THE WORKING DRAWINGS
HERE'S THE FINAL THING...
ITS AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH SUPERGLUE, DOUBLE SIDED TAPE, PAPER PLATES AND KIDS ADHESIVE JEWELLRY EH?!
I ALSO DID A VERBAL PIECE AS WELL - A RHYTHMICAL POEM...ENJOY
HEAD DRESS ON, EARS APPEAR WIDE SHUT
FAR FROM THE TRUTH I'M A MEDIA SLUT
IM SPONGING, DISGUSTING, I'LL SUCK IT UP DRY
I LOVE MUSIC - LET ME EXPLAIN - GIVE ME SOME OF YOUR PRECIOUS TIME
HEADPHONES ARE THE METAPHOR FOR MY LIFE
IN TWO REASONS NOW ILL EXPLAIN JUST WHY
I WALK MY OWN RHYTHM, I DO NOT WALK THEIR'S
CLOSE OFF THE WORLD, IT'S ABOUT ME INSTEAD
BUT BACKROUND NOISE YOU CAN NOT IGNORE
DECONSTRUCT, RECONSTRUCT, TAKE AWAY THE FLAW
MAKE IT MORE - PLEASE - LET ME SIMPLIFY IT FOR YOU
TAKE SOMETHING MAKE IT BETTER - THAT'S WHAT I AM TO YOU
MY HEADRESS SYMBOLIZES MY DESCENDENSCY
WHILE AT THE SAME TIME TRANSCENDING MY AMBITION TO BE
IN TIMES OF THE MAHARAJA IT WAS ALWAYS SAID
ELEPHANTS SIGNIFIED PROSPERITY & WEALTH
AND DEPICTIONS OF A LIONS HEAD MEANT
METAPHORS OF POWER AND INDEPENDENCE
THIS IS MY ROYAL COURTROOM
AND YOU ARE ALL A WITNESS
THESE JEWELS ON MY FACE
ARE ATTRIBUTES OF KINGSHIP
LETS NOT FORGET THE SUNRAYS ABOVE MY EYES
I'M A GOD - TRUST; THIS IS NO LIE
LOOK MY NAME UP AND YOU'LL FIND OUT WHAT IT MEANS
I'M A GOD - TRUST; NOW BELIEVE IN ME
TRUST...BELIEVE IN ME
TRUST...BELIEVE IN MYSELF
V AND A MAHARAJA AND DECODE EXHIBITION
by ..:: IAMRAV ::..
THIS WAS AN EXAMPLE OF 3D MAPPING TECHNOLOGY WHERE IN THE EXHIBITION YOU COULD TOUCH THE SCREEN AND IT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO VIEW DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES OF RENDERED IMAGES
THIS WAS A SOUND RESPONSIVE APPLICATION WHICH ALLOWED SOUND TO BE PROCESSED THROUGH A MICROPHONE AND TRANSLATED INO MOVING ANIMATION
THIS FABRICA EXQUISITE CLOCK 2009 IS A FOREVER CHANGING CLOCKFACE WHERE THE NUMBERS ARE UPLAODED IMAGES RELATIVE TO THE NUMBER BEING DISPLAYED
