The fOcus: DocUmenTation

So as I was exploring the line, with the word “overhead” in mind I came to the realization that what was over my head for most of this time has been an umbrella. As from my word definition and brainstorm, I liked the idea of an overhead mirror, so that one could look overhead and get and overhead view of themselves. So I ordered some Mylar and started making umbrellas to group as an overhead installation.

Focus: Research on the [ALFRED] Line focused on Overhead

For this exercise I walked the entire line and took pictures looking overhead. I tried to get interesting shots, not just 100 pictures of grey Alfred sky, and paid particular attention to ceilings and light fixtures.

Walk the [ALFRED] Line

Hey all! I just uploaded some AWESOME photos of my explorations of the Alfred Line! Check them out on my Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mslcraft/

Questions-

What is over my head-Does this change with time-Can I get an overhead view-How can I use overhead transparencies in new ways-What information is overhead-What is over my head and not someone else’s-What is not over my head that is over someone else’s-Can overhead refer to costs other than monetary charges?

Exploration #37

For this Exploration I thought of different ways of measuring passage of time from the vantage point of MY bench.

Clouds traveling across the sky/evolving in shape

Number of people passing by: I counted 30 people between 4:25 and 4:30; an average of 6 people per min.

Cricket chirps

Lamp-post on or off

Sighted grasshoppers

Number of blinks

Length/position of shadows

Raindrop Density
