On my quest for a fascination about what my starting point would be, I bumped into\u00a0 the Warpset. Something between a warp and an offset. When recording footage at a
\ncertain velocity, if the rate of frames per second are too low compared to the speed of
\nthe camera, you get some kind of smudge in the footage. Actually the object filmed
\nwarped in a way that it creates a new object. One that exists from the place between
\nthe 2 frames.
\nMy next mission was trying to capture this gorgeous phenomena as much as possible, while also trying to recreate a 3 dimensional object out of this 2 dimensional occurrence.
\nSo therefore I implemented the footage and one minute sites I made into
\nphotogrammetry software. Trying to make a space out of a moving surface (screen).
\nThis resulted in a space instead of an object. A 3 dimensional space was rendered with as texture the footage that was given to the software.
\nAt this point I knew I had found my real fascination, the starting point of what I wanted to work with. The only thing I wasn\u2019t sure about was the how. After working a while with the newly created spaces, I wanted to be able to let other people experience it the way I\u2019ve felt while playing around with it. I started moulding the spaces into other shapes. Due to my lac of software knowhow I had to digitally mould the space into a square. Step by step, klick by click but eventually my work payed off.
\nInstead of moulding the space digitally I wanted to start to create a translation
\nform the digital space to a physical space. The thing I created had to give the
\nsame feeling as the video I made and as the spaces I had discovered, It had to
\nbe able to be tactile, to be taken in by all our senses. After some puzzling
\naround I finally found what I was looking for. The texture maps (unfolded parts
\nof the spaces) gave the resemblance but what gave it the magic was the
\ntexture from magic plastic, shrink plastic. It has different sides, one matte and
\nthe other one more glossy.
\nWhen heated it turned into a squirmy volume, so I decided to heat all the white
\nspots between the textures. As a way to mould the divided surfaces back
\ntogether in to a space. To then break it back down to where I started, a 2
\ndimensional object, I scanned all my objects again, and now the circle is
\ncomplete.
\nThe back and forth between media, the endless looping, scanning and
\nrecording and producing again was eventually my greatest fascination, a
\nconstant dopamine release to be able to every time (re)discover something in
\nto reality.<\/p>\n
