STUDY - VISUAL NARRATIVE FROM FOUND IMAGES
May 14, 2001
Create a story from found images. I had a hard time recalling
what this project entailed, as I thought there had to be more
to it than what I had written down. But, I was wrong. How
brilliantly simple.
I asked Li for some help:
Gabe: yo li
Gabe: remember 103 with huhtamo?
Li: yea
Li: what about it
Gabe: is that the one where we did the advertising campaign
at the end?
Li: yep
Gabe: cool
Gabe: now
Gabe: what was the midterm?
Gabe: i remember our projects, but i forgot the assignment
Li: the picture narrative
Gabe: a narrative of what
Gabe: just anything?
Li: anything
Gabe: hmm
Gabe: was there anything more to it?
Li: using just pictures
Li: found pictures
Li: nope
Gabe: i miss assignments like that
Li: ha
Gabe: what a great assignment
Li: semiatics
Li: we were suppose to learn about that
Gabe: man
Li: haha
Li: dude
Li: those were the good old days
Gabe: seriously
Li: now is just stress and more stress
Gabe: ... a tear
Gabe: i know
Gabe: i want to create a visual story
Gabe: from found pictures
Gabe: oh, how free
Li: yep
Li: those were the pure conceptual days
Gabe: yes
Gabe: it feels like a long time ago
Gabe: 2 years
Li: it is a long time
Li: those days were so relaxing
Gabe: we didn't think so
Anyway. Enough nostalga. This project was first done with
cutouts and then scanned to be printed on a plotter. It ended
up being a poster-size at about 2.5 feet long, and clocked
in at 127mb.
