Randomness

The quality or state of lacking a pattern or principle of unpredictability[1]

Concepts

The idea of this project is greatly influenced by the book I read in 2019, Fooled By Randomness written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Then I started to pay attention to observe how life events happened without any explanation or in a form of chaos where we only hold little control of our life even though we've been told everyone is special. However, these broken to pieces of memory emotions somehow can be free from spacetime.

Futher Development

  1. The restriction of access to the Digital Bauhaus Lab and the VR devices due to the pandemic, this work is not able to be tested in the VR environment. I'd like to take another course in the future to get the implementation in more depth.
  2. Current implementation required a more powerful computational machine in order to render extra video frame in a fluent manner.
  3. The design choice of the movement of the camera could be further explorative, e.g. floating, sinking, flying experiences than pulling the camera in one direction.
  4. Further examination of camera distortion affecting stretching clip ratio is needed[2][3].

I want to express the randomness in life and its journey by creating a feeling that being pulled back as if sitting on a train but facing opposite direction of the train; However this is a train that we cannot stop.

Visual setting: Environment is set in an open field with surrounds of moments represented by pieces of images, videos, sounds.

Progress: 16 June 2020: Create a plane ground and the movement of camera.
