Innovation and Interference - Maps and Journeys Installation

After brainstorming ideas, I came to the realisation that I wanted to create a piece that included illustration including sound, therefore the journey and thought process of an idea was something that I wanted to do. I created a rough illustration which would detail a brain from the top point of view. This would outline the left and right side of the brain (left side being the more logical/statistical thinking side whereas the right side is the more creative/imaginative side of the brain). I was also brainstorming the fact that I would add a simple pathway going in and out of both sides of the brain (detailing the fact that I had to stay grounded to the brief but also creative).

From the above image, it is a screenshot of the base of the piece. The left side of the brain being slightly tilted and sagging due to the heavy demands of the brief, whereas the right side of the brain would be where the pathway would stray towards, as it promotes creativity and imagination. I was thinking of also intersecting the pathway between the two sides which shows unity and a sense of balance.


I had also experimented with adding cracks to show deterioration during a thought process of an idea, in which the brain is visibly struggling to cope with building the idea together.



In addition, I experimented with placing a nail , with ropes theathered to the brain, acting as the brief itself in which it is grounding the idea to the theme.


I had also wanted to incorporate a soundwave to the installation piece, This would give me the reason to add a sound piece to the mix, giving a sense of interactivity to the piece and also space to add the mp3 players into. It also reverts back to my original idea with the Four Doors and environments. I had the idea of having it crumble onto the ground, showing us that the idea in itself hadn't materialised.
