Rayvenn Shaleigha DClark – Recorded Turorial Form| May 2016
Tasking Points:
- Annotated Research Articles
- Research: makes this appear more in working, and be clear in Assessment materials – show process of working
- Issue of resolving the time spent on making the work (finished life casting) needs to be made clear in the show
- Issue of lighting/display
- 3D Imaging Technology: 3D Face Scanning & Ultra-Sounds
- Pop Up: Digital Media Labs
- Digital Making Space: Using 3D Printer (Classes)
- Moving Imaging Photographs
- Animatronics
- The idea of the ‘Uncanny’
- ‘Deadwood’
- Ron Mueck and Jim Henson
- Series Work
- Facial Re-Construction – Dead relatives, missing people, imagined people, forensic scientist
- Traditional method of scaling up Sculptures
- Scanning the Cast?
- Experimenting with the old’ school imaging/scanning technology – UCL
Artists Statement:
- Spelling eror
- Desire to immortalised, and remembered
- Mass producing to spec.?
- Did they volunteer in the process? – bringing the idea of the ‘selfie culture’
- Supplant the ‘idea of the selfie’ with the death-mask/immortality and the uncanny in portraiture
Display:
- Label Aesthetic – life-casting spec. as in label tradition
- Display in a box – delivered to the audience
Wall Mounted Display
My ideas about display have changed since my Recorded Tutorial. I still hope to incorporate a display case (in terms of protection for the object), but want to really emphasis the notion of producing casts to specification (a set of numbers that can be used to mass produce the mould) much like the work of Frisch. With this in mind, the idea of incorporate a (shipping) label like aesthetic into the piece, using a similar format as a panel on the front of the box. Maybe even going as far as presenting the cast in format of a delivery, within a box with the label as identification of what could be inside, emphasising the idea of the Uncanny.
To do this would have to pic a label format, and break down the original components of the label, adapting them to my own needs.
Digital/3D Printing Facilities in UAL (Chelsea/Camberwell)
http://process.arts.ac.uk/content/chelsea-college-art-3d-printing-staff-student-experimentation
- 3D printing experimentation and workshops at Chelsea college of arts.
- to learn the principles of 3D printing and establish confidence and knowledge to make the most of external industry services who offer 3D printing off site
- collaborating with tech industry
- Cross college 3D printing collaborations The 3D printer will be used to support Chelsea contribution to cross college CoP through the ‘Pop Up Digital Maker Space‘ part the UAL staff (academic & technical) and student development fund to develop a Pop Up Digital Maker Space to host workshops and activities around new technologies.

‘Pop-Up Digital Maker Space’:
- is an inter-disciplinary project by CCW Digital and part funded by UAL L&T Exchange Student-Staff Collaboration Fund.The main objective of the project is to develop staff and student inter-disciplinary resources of expertise, which could provide a model of support for emergent digital practice through a pop up style MakerSpace and community network. The project targets all programme areas of Camberwell, Chelsea & Wimbledon Colleges of Art (CCW) these include Fine Art, Design, Textiles & Theatre/Screen as well as collaborations with industry & the wider sector.The community of interest groups are motivated by shared interest of mutual learning and support. The groups collectively work towards specific goals of developing workshops/demos/hacks/showcase or Jam activities and events, which could ‘pop up’ in any location to support learning and teaching.The rules of Pop Up Digital MakerSpace:
- It’s not a service: a voluntary community who come together via informal meet-ups, workshops & events
- Safe/Fail experiments only: not suitable for meeting course deadlines, submissions & assessments
- Contribute: Give something back to the community in some way share resources, tips, help others etc.
- Stay connected: Once your a UAL Digital MakerSpacer your always a UAL Digital MakerSpacer
- Patience/persistence: may need to invest a lot of time into learning
The project is led by Chris Follows CCW Digital. To get involved or find out more please contact Chris Follows: c.follows@arts.ac.uk
