Unit 7 Time Based Media Research

Analysis of time-based Art Information taken from http://www.tate.org.uk/about/our-work/conservation/time-based-media on 3/10/2016:
‘Time-based media’ refers to works of art which depend on technology and have duration as a dimension.

Tate’s collection of time-based media art spans the early 1970s to the present day. It includes artworks that use video, film, audio, 35 mm slide and computer-based technologies and focuses mainly on artists’ installations rather than single-channel works. It is, however, a fast-growing collection with an increasingly broad global reach, reflecting the interests of new curators.

Artists make very specific decisions in their choice of media and the way in which their work is presented. Specific display equipment might be important because of a particular quality of sound or image it creates, or because the artist has made conceptual links between a particular item of equipment and the meaning of the work. Specific technology places a work at a particular point in history and may convey ideas about the spirit in which the work was made.

Time-based media works of art differ from other works in the collection because of their dependence on technology and the significance of the less tangible elements of these works.

Whereas the physical deterioration of materials is the primary factor to address with traditional objects, industry decisions to discontinue particular technologies (a projector or tape format, for example) also affect time-based media, and vigilance is required to ensure that encoded media can be played back.

As with other forms of installation, it is essential that correct installation details are documented and that this information is made accessible to future custodians of the work.

Information about Gestural Kinetic Drawing:
I'm start doing about Gestural Kinetic drawing and the website i founds with artist information looks really interesting. they using the emotion, energy and moment to create a simple piece yet feeling like there an energy coming out from it.

Artist by Heather Hansen

Contextual Research
The artist that i would like to look into is Bill Viola and Tony Oursler
This is Bill Viola's artwork and his Information
His art style is more into human life. How life is going born and die. I 'm not really sure how to explain it but it more like the cycles of the life and how everyone have to live and dead in their life.

This is Tony Oursler's artwork

I finds this interesting because the way it looks and how random it is. Taking the part of human bodies and turn it into art looks funny and the same time it's kind of creepy.

The colour and shape is also different from other artist because it was taking from part of people's face and put them together randomly.

Pollock Action Painting
http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/a/action-painters can be look up from the link
Their process, involved splashing, using gestural brushstrokes and dripping paint onto canvas rather than carefully applying it. The term ‘action painting’ was coined by Harold Rosenberg in his groundbreaking articleThe American Action Painters published in ARTnews in December 1952.

This blog post and activity are a fun and simple way to introduce action painters to kids, whether in the classroom or at home.

Who is Jackson Pollock?
This Tate Kids blog post explains all whilst stating some pretty impressive facts. Did you know some of his paintings still have footprints on them where he stepped in the paint?

Jazzy drips
Get kids inspired to make their own drip paintings with this fun activity.

Reportage drawing

Artist's blog Click Here and another Link if you wanting to click it out.

Reportage drawing is a rough sketch of something, someone or your surrounding. 

I finds this really interesting, even thought i didn't do any of the drawing but i can easily understand the meaning and what it mean of reportage drawing. I really like the art style because it isn't just sketchy style but it also make it eye-catch  depending on time you wanting to put or how much detail you wanting to add into the piece. 

Unit 7 time based media Glossary terms

Time-Based Art: contemporary art works include video, film, slide, audio or computer-based technologies as well as traditional processes of image making.

Kinetic Art: is art that depends on motion for its effects e.g. Alexander Calder ‘Antennae with Red and Blue Dots’ 1960.

Other Keywords:

Stop frame animation: is animation that is captured one frame at time, with physical objects that are moved between frames. When you play back the sequence of images rapidly, it creates the illusion of movement.

Stop motion: Onion skinning: Stop motion is a cinematographic technique whereby the camera is repeatedly stopped and started, for example to give animated figures the impression of movement.
Onion Skinning/skins are visual tools to help make animation easier. They allow the animator to view multiple frames at the same time.

Meditate and synthesis of an image: Image synthesis is the process of creating new images from some form of image description.

Silhouette: the dark shape and outline of someone or something visible in restricted light against a brighter background.

Zoetrope: a 19th-century optical toy consisting of a cylinder with a series of pictures on the inner surface that, when viewed through slits with the cylinder rotating, give an impression of continuous motion.

Flick book animation: A flick book is a book with a series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next, so that when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate by simulating motion or some other change.

Time-lapse: the photographic technique of taking a sequence of frames at set intervals to record changes that take place slowly over time. When the frames are shown at normal speed the action seems much faster.

Unit 7 Time-Based Media Stop-motion Animation and Timeline history

What is Stop-motion animation? - Information taken from Here on 3/11/2019

Stop motion animation (also called stop frame animation) is animation that is captured one frame at time, with physical objects that are moved between frames. When you play back the sequence of images rapidly, it creates the illusion of movement. If you understand how 2D drawn animation (early Disney) works, stop motion is similar, except using physical objects instead of drawings.

The basic process of animation involves taking a photograph of your objects or characters, moving them slightly, and taking another photograph. When you play back the images consecutively, the objects or characters appear to move on their own.

This is the stop-motion animation timeline that i created today. I found out that all the animation film i been watching and loving it was actually the stop-motion animation, i didn't realise or bother by it until now. So this making me feel even more interesting and loving about stop-motion animation.

I finds the stop-motion animation has evolving with not just the colour but the quality of the art as well.

This is my video for stop-motive animation. I hope you enjoy it.
