Lesson 1 - Initial ideas

The man who mistook his wife for a hat

Sections and overview that I liked from the book upon first reading

• Lack of recognition for objects and people
• Eating songs, bathing songs, dressing songs
• Interrupted and loses the thread, he comes to a complete stop
• All sense of concrete,reality being destroyed 
• "Well Dr sacks" he said to me " you find me an interesting case, I perceive. Can you tell me what you find wrong, make recommendations?"
  "I can't tell you what I find wrong" I replied "but I'll say what I find right. You are a wonderful musician and music is your life. What I would prescribe, in a case such as yours, is a life which consists entirely of music. Music has been the center now make it the whole of your life"
• His body music

Initial ideas 

• Sheet music forming lines to create objects
• Sheet music wrapping around 
• Animate on skin (living tatoo) 
• Blink, show music reflected in eyes
• Blur and warp edges, the sharp 
• Static 
• Outline an image and inside have code/error image not found/sheet music
• Shadow music sheets
• Experimental
• Rip reality to show how he sees (pencil vs camera)
• Blank pages/faces

Initial research 

• 虞雅婷 : Out of sight 

Shows the view of a blind girl and I feel this is in someway similar as although he is not blind his perception of the world is also altered much like hers.

• Phoebe Halstead : Derek and his shells

1.24 The 2d interaction over the top of the video.
Image research

• Ben Heine : Pencil vs Camera 

I really like his work, and the idea of ripping into reality to show something not seen by others.
