The Chosen Proposal

Title: 
Urban colour

Topic: 
Urban graffiti

Background:
In modern times, paint, particularly spray paint, and marker pens have become the most commonly used graffiti materials. In most countries, marking or painting property without the property owner's consent is considered defacement and vandalism, which is a punishable crime. Graffiti may also express underlying social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic expression is based upon spray paint graffiti styles. Within hip hop culture, graffiti has evolved alongside hip hop music, b-boying, and other elements.Unrelated to hip-hop graffiti, gangs use their own form of graffiti to mark territory or to serve as an indicator of gang-related activities.

Aim&Objective:

-art is fun

-anti vandalism

Motivation:

When you come upon street art, on the street, it can be an overwhelming experience. Since you're never sure when or where you'll make such a discovery, it comes as a visual surprise, a dazzling visual surprise; dazzling, because of the combination of dynamic, well executed graphic, the texture of the wall it is painted on, and the entire street setting, all of it coming at you at once.

Ideation&Concept:

Basically the Interactive wall will generates graphics based on motion.

Review, Analysis and Precedence Studies:




Design Approach:
the design is going to be an interactive wall

Proposal#2

Title:
feel it and love it


Topic:
feel the natural, save the environment


Background:
Why not resolve to plant some trees every year? If each of us plants one little tree, it can amount to a great amount of afforestation making the environment healthier. Increasing the use of bicycles or making a habit to walk down short distances can contribute to reduction in air pollution. Try to minimize the use of vehicles. Use CFC-free products. For some destinations, the use of vehicles has no better options. But at least maintain your vehicles; clean their exhaust pipes, keep the pollution they cause under strict control.

Aim & Objective:
-everyone should care about the environment
-save the environment

Motivation:
We frequently talk about saving our environment and how important it is to conserve the natural resources. Since the school years we have been learning about the importance of a healthy environment. Environmental education has made us realize the need to preserve our natural wealth. But when did you last take a step towards saving the environment? The impact we have on the environment today is making a big difference on the world of future generations. Heck, it’s making an impact right now in a lot of places. It’s our responsibility to care for our planet and ensure our future well-being.


Ideation & Concept:

Title:

Do you know it?

Topic:
Environmental pollution and Its effects

Background:
One of the greatest problems that the world is facing today is that of environmental pollution, increasing with every passing year and causinggrave and irreparable damage to the earth. Environmental pollution consists of five basic types of pollution, namely, air, water, soil, noise and light.

Air pollution is by far the most harmful form of pollution in our environment. Air pollution is cause by the injurious smoke emitted by cars, buses, trucks, trains, and factories, namely sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.

Water pollution caused industrial waste products released into lakes, rivers, and other water bodies, has made marine life no longer hospitable. Humans pollute water with large scale disposal of garbage, flowers, ashes and other household waste.

Noise pollution, soil pollution and light pollution too are the damaging the environment at an alarming rate. Noise pollution include aircraft noise, noise of cars, buses, and trucks, vehiclehorns, loudspeakers, and industry noise, as well as high-intensity sonar effects which are extremely harmful for the environment.

Soil pollution, which can also be called soil contamination, is a result of acid rain, polluted water, fertilizers etc., which leads to bad crops.

Light Pollution includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference.

Aim & Objective:

i) to raise the awareness on pollution and environmental issue.

ii) develop a more caring attitude to all things that can effect the health and safty of this planet.

Motivation:

I believe that nobody wants to live in a world filled with smog. It’s hard to breathe, it smells bad, and it causes untold numbers of health problems. A major concern of many people is that going green will require a huge change in lifestyle. You can do a lot for the environment while improving your lifestyle at the same time. For example,If you’re the type of person who appreciates new technology, then supporting the green industry is an easy choice. So save the environment and improve you lifestyle.

Ideation & Concept:

Overall is a interactive decor where the audience can position the real art pieces (car, bus, factory building etc ) on an illuminated table and then the screen will show how the thing pollute the environment and its effect by animation. 

Review, Analysis and Precedence Studies:

The rapid environmental pollution of our planet started with the industrial revolution.

Noise pollution is one of the most neglected forms of pollution despite causing huge environmental damage, especially in oceans. For instance, U.S. still doesn’t have some federal body that would regulate noise pollution.

Smog is one of the worst forms of air pollution. It is mostly created by fossil fuel power plants (coal burning).

More than 15,000 people in the world die each day because of water pollution.

Design Approach:

the design is going to be a illuminated table

Meaning of Words

Art:

Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items (often with symbolic significance) in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect.

Urbanism:

Broadly, urbanism is a focus on cities and urban areas, their geography, economies, politics, social characteristics, as well as the effects on, and caused by, the built environment.

Science:
Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.

Ecology:
Ecology is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other and their natural environment.

Theme for final year project 2011-12

ART, SCIENCE, URBANISM AND ECOLOGY


As a guide to conceptualize your project, consider these questions:

1) How to create socially-engaged art/ design that address this issue (in a mediated environment)?

2) How to encourage dialogue around ecological and social issues in your project?

3) How to explain the science of ecology (i.e. environmental problems such as threatened landscapes and endangered species) using art and technology?

4) How to shape perception and experience of our changing environment.

5) Explore the relationship between nature and technology.

6) Explore the relationship (impact of) urbanization on the ecosystem.

7) Investigates issues of biology and the history of science and technology

8) How do our consumer behaviors impact the natural environment?

9) How to increase the public's awareness of the consequences of urbanization for the natural habitat of flora and fauna?

10) Challenge current social, political and economic systems, how?

11) What are urban cultures and urban living patterns?



The resulting project can be in the form of multimedia work or digital art but it is not limited to these medium:
multimedia work:
infographics, interactive installation, interactive system, website, social media, games


digital art:
digital imagery, digital photography, installation, net art, video art, public art
