Spatial Perceptions of Edge/Line



I understand if my first posting on these images and drawings were a bit loaded and possible unresolved. This is an overlay of the two drawings which i intended for, and they may begin to open some insight to the implications of what is being discussed.

First would like to apologize for not making it to class, and i understand the requirements for next week. Just looking for some discussion to help formulate and structure these theories and concepts into a legible body of work for tuesday.
The attempt in the overlaying of these diagrammatic/gestural drawings, were to understand the implications of an entire field condition based on the two spatial readings of the same edge purely by the change in the orientation of the frame. Basically each drawing was constructed based on my reading/perception of the edge in response to the different orientations they have in the film (the rotating of the camera to orient different planes/edges as the horizon line). If the instillation can address a couple of the various orientations then once one is perceiving the space no matter what their orientation is they will be perceiving the gestural implications of all the orientations at once.
What i hope to be achieved is a condition similar to the "Hall of Perspectives" i saw in a palazzo in Rome. The statue at the end of the corridor is perceived to be much larger based on the fact that the space itself is built in perspective. The passage space and the perspective of that space intern is amplified and the statue is perceived out of its "actually" scalar context. The instillation would be governing itself along the same theories, if one could first amplify the perspective of the space (to some extent doubling it) than the edge at the end would be perceived larger than it actually exists in the middle world; the rotational quality of the gesture is the second notion that if a 'funneling'/'rotation' is invoked in the eye, than one would be unable to ground anyone of the edges as horizon or as an entity of the built condition and the edge could then function as a pure entity of line. Line once fragmented from conceptions of physical causality as horizon can then exist as the governing gesture of defined space (which exists in time and space).

i think you may want to examine the qualities of these edges. especially considering the course framework. i guess we will see what you make..but i think you need to seriously simplify your language. your film was good. it was clear.

if you are going to focus on the lines...
i would take a look at simple horizizontal/vertical effects, such as the bricks against the modulation of the glass...
considering you are creating a new horizon...

Post with intervention. This is late.
