This week there isn't so much a theme like the last two workshops for example waking up and sustenance. Instead this third workshop's 'gathering' is about bringing together our last two concepts and models from the last two workshops and also incorporating some or all of the building from the matrix we were given. This will lead to Thursday's mid-semester crit instead of our usual desktop crit.
For this third workshop, I am working on Secondlife so for the Monday's workshop we were given an overview of the types to use on Secondlife such as 3DS Max and Scratch 4SL which I am already familiar with having used it for Media last semester. During the workshop we learnt about the 3D scanning machine which we can try out to re-produce something like our model on Secondlife however not all details may be picked up as the 3D scanner works as a laser picking up points on the model. The models that can be used in the 3D scanner cannot be transparent or shiny as it will reflect the laser.
This week we were given three readings
A Simple Heart:Architecture On - Dogma (Pier Vittorio Aureli & Martino Tattara)
From Products to Process - Adriana Navarro-Sertich
Typological Instruments - Caroline Bos & Ben van Berkel
We will be discussing the readings From Products to Process and Typological Instruments on Wednesday.
