OCR04242: Chrono Cross: Another World - Moiré Effect feat. Viking Guitar, Vivian Reeves

[Voyage - Another World]

I haven’t posted school projects here much, but I worked hard on this week’s project and I’m really happy with the results. Be prepared for a long post!

This week was workshop week in art academy. Our course’s workshop Phantom Graphics was instructed by Mirjam Reili, who’s an Estonian graphic designer.During the week we researched different ocular illusions and designed posters based on our visual studies.

My research focus was on how movement and animation can be depicted in print.

I remembered seeing books that used Moiré effect – frames of the animation were merged into a stripy pattern and for the animation to start working a striped transparent sheet was need to slide over the page.

As I researched more about Moiré effect I realized that viewer doesn’t need that extra layer to see the character and how it moves. Other way to depict animation in a single image is onion skinning  – a method to that shows faded previous and upcoming frames for helping the animator to figure out the frame in work. Combining these two methods resulted cryptidlike humanoid characters who seem to skitter around imaginary urban space.

From that same research an idea branched out to use long exposure photographs and enhance the motion with comic like movement and motion exaggeration lines.

The last day of the workshop we spent preparing and installing the exhibition, which is now up on Estonian Academy of Arts’ Billboard Gallery in Kotzebue street in Tallinn.

Have you ever noticed that when you look at a screen door from a certain angle, the two layers of straight lines sometimes appear wavy? Artist Rachel Rose manipulates this visual phenomenon, called the moiré effect, in her new work, “Wil-o-Wisp,” by layering images on top of each other. Experience how Rose distorts your perception of time and reality in her mesmerizing exhibition “Rachel Rose: ‘Wil-o-Wisp’/The Future Fields Commission.”
