Found Objects

 

Context: 

​

Life on earth begins with plants. Discover that much of life's quality and meaning is expressed through plants with a sensory experience demonstrating the richness of plant contributions to human culture. Plants play a crucial role in the development of human cultures throughout the world and are an important part of therapy, music, ceremony, language and many other enrichments to our everyday lives.

For this project I want to explore the plants contributions to human culture and what will happen when the plants meet digital technology.

Method:

​

Inspired by Simon Evans and Mari Andrews work. I will walk around the school and collect the fallen leaves, branches or something else that I can use. Arrange and combine them properly on the paper to get some pattern & textures then integrate it with digital technology (Photoshop). 

  

 

Response:

​

At the beginning of this exercise, I put objects deliberately, hoping to get a beautiful and meaningful pattern. But there's a big difference between design from an existing object and create from nothing. Think about too much will lose the organic beauty of plants. So I  arrange the plants randomly then take photos, import them into photoshop and made adjustments. As a result, the same photos show different things, which I think reflects the integration of plants and digital technology in an effective way.
