Just found out my Final major Project 'Info_Leak' has been featured on cmykern.com and typographyserved.com.
Let me just say a huge thank you to both these guys for taking an interest in my sculpture.

I AM AN ARTIST... I AM HERE TO LIVE OUT LOUD

I SAW THE ANGEL IN THE MARBLE AND CARVED UNTIL I SET HIM FREE.

ART IS THE MOST INTENSE MODE OF INVIDUALISM THAT THE WORLD HAS KNOWN

ART IS WHAT YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH

IT HAS BOTHERED ME ALL MY LIFE THAT I DO NOT PAINT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE

I AM INTERESTED IN IDEAS, NOT MERELY IN VISUAL PRODUCTS.

ART IS AN ADVENTURE INTO AN UNKNOWN WORLD, WHICH CAN ONLY BE EXPLORED BY THOSE WILLING TO TAKE THE RISKS.

GREAT DESIGNERS INNOVATE, GOOD DESIGNERS EMULATE

LET ME ALWAYS DESIRE MORE THEN I THINK I CAN DO

ART REQUIRES PHILOSOPHY, JUST AS PHILOSOPHY REQUIRES ART

THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO IMITATE ANYTHING, PRODUCE NOTHING.

CREATIVITY IS ALLOWING YOURSELF TO MAKE MISTAKES. ART IS KNOWING WHICH ONES TO KEEP.

WE HAVE ART TO SAVE OURSELVES FROM THE TRUTH

GREAT ART CAN COMMUNICATE BEFORE IT IS UNDERSTOOD.

I DREAM MY PAINTING, AND THEN I PAINT MY DREAM.

THE ARTIST MUST TRAIN NOT ONLY HIS EYE BUT ALSO HIS SOUL.

//Intention..

For my Final Major Project I am creating a typography-based sculpture/Installation that combines conceptual art with contemporary graphic design.

It will feature two oil pipes attached to the wall with black, 3-Dimensional text spilling out, dripping and flowing all the way down onto the floor and out like liquid. The texture of the typography will give it motion, even though it is a static piece.

To make the text look oil-like, I’m experimenting with a few different ‘recipes’ I’ve found like a mixture of paint and corn syrup, which makes the paint appear shiny.

//Significance..

The concept is that this represents a stream
of consciousness. The oil is a metaphor for Information. The right kind of information can fuel, ignite and feed the human mind, life, and art.

The letters that ‘flow’ out may just look like a flow of oil from a distance but on closer inspection form words and sentences, quotes and thoughts that allow the observer the opportunity to look at things from a different point of view,
or simply evoke an emotional response.

A select few of my favourite quotes to be included so far:

“Objective reality is different for different observer’s”

Albert Einstein

‘’Why are words like ‘fuck’ and ‘cunt’ regarded as such bad words when they describe such beautiful things, and words such as ‘murder’ or ‘torture’ we can happily use to describe the journey into work in the morning?’’

Stephen Fry

‘’Computer games don't effect kids, I mean if Pac-Man had effected us as kids we would all be running around darkened rooms, munching magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music.’’

Kristian Wilson, Nintendo Inc. 1989

//Logistics..

I’ve already secured most of the materials that I’m going to need including the pipes that I’ve found from scrap, some of the 3D wooden letters and the source to acquire lots more at a good price.
The stream and ‘puddle’ of letters will be pre-put together, I will just have to drill 4 holes in the wall, screw in the pipes, arrange the blocks of letters and then fill in the holes afterwards.

Equipment List. So far…
Oil Pipes x2
Black Paint
Black Gloss Paint
Corn Syrup
Glue Gun
Glue sticks
Wooden 3D letters of assorted size x1000’s

//Title..

‘FUEL’ (working title)

MY FINAL MAJOR PROJECT PROPOSAL
http://feedrichfmp.blogspot.com/

One idea ive had for my FMP, was to expand on the idea I had for the 'pointless website' and creating an interactive animation, taking inspiration from websites like:
http://www.yugop.com
http://www.maninthedark.com/
http://www.vectorpark.com/etc/spider.html
http://www.flyingpuppet.com/shock/dervish.htm
and the brilliant..
http://www.trevorvanmeter.com/flyguy/

While these websites were really created just for fun, I think if I produced something like these designer' have done with these websites and finally realising my vision for the pointless website, it could be a brilliant addition to the exhibition.

Ideally, it would be shown or projected on a large screen with a plinth underneath with a pad
on the top that when you move your finger across the pad it creates movement on the screen which follows the movement of your finger. The plinth, I could easily make out of wood & I was thinking that maybe a tablet could be used for the pad, but ill have to look into this to see if it would work. I think that most of the websites that I have looked at were created using Adobe Shockwave, so I would have to learn how to use this program OR I think that its possible that something like what I envisioned could be created using Flash.
