Week 11: Project Kick-Off
Documentation
We can finally begin with our projects! I’m very excited to start fleshing out my idea and starting with my first experiments. I want to use the knowledge I obtained during the bioplastics week to make filters for a camera. These filters will apply effects to photographs. These filters will be made for hobby and professional photographers. They will encourage experimentation and allow the user to view the world through a different lens. The first week will be the week where a lot of research will be done. This is of course necessary to make sure my project will be as good as it can get.
These filters cannot exist without a goal. They need to have a purpose. Photography is of course a very personal thing. Thus, the purpose these filters can have are very personal for every individual. I think a bridging factor is the fact that these filters can add a certain sense of artistic expression. While a photograph without filter can be beautiful, a filter can make it something completely different. You can tell different stories with them. This experimentation with filters is the biggest goal these filters must achieve.
Thinking about my first experiment, I want to make a simple bioplastic and try to achieve a high translucence. I found a paper online that had a recipe for a near-perfect translucent bioplastic, but this needs lab equipment and conditions that I cannot get a hold of. I’ll just use the knowledge I obtained during the bioplastics week instead.
