Critical Mass Project 4

I started taking pictures just to take pictures, and in this random act I started seeing trends throughout the community around me. Because I live on campus I found mass quantities of garbage piling up on curbs and street corners, and in this trash I found numerous deserted couches torn and tattered lying and waiting for their disposal. It was interesting to follow the connections throughout the community and see where it leads and this is what I feel as being the true purpose of this project.

I spend an immense amount of time sitting at my desk doing homework and projects, so naturally I wanted to map this space out as my eyes see it. As I move my eyes across from one side to the other I find myself focusing on small portions of space continually moving to the next object. This Photo is a representation of these focus points and how they individually make up small chunks in a larger spectrum.

Singular Image "The Chair"

After layering 7 images, tweaking colors, warping and clone-stamping the floor in , I think I finally got it how I wanted it! I really wasn't sure what photo I wanted to go with until I started playing with this one. It was a lot of fun to push this image farther than I really thought possible. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did making it!

symmetry

sym-me-try |ˈsimitrē|
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural sym·me·tries

Etymology: Latin symmetria, from Greek, from symmetros symmetrical, from syn- + metron measure — more at measure

Date: 1563

1: balanced proportions ; also : beauty of form arising from balanced proportions
2: the property of being symmetrical ; especially : correspondence in size, shape, and relative position of parts on opposite sides of a dividing line or median plane or about a center or axis — compare bilateral symmetry , radial symmetry
3: a rigid motion of a geometric figure that determines a one-to-one mapping onto itself
4: the property of remaining invariant under certain changes (as of orientation in space, of the sign of the electric charge, of parity, or of the direction of time flow) —used of physical phenomena and of equations describing them

This image satisfies definition one and two, because it has a balance in proportions, and also indirectly creates a reflective equal through complimentary tones, and the matching pair of rain drops.



This image was taken from the inside of Gerlinger hall looking out toward the entrance. It exemplifies the true idea behind two equal halves divided by a center line or central axis.


This picture was also taken at Gerlinger hall in the South side hallway/lounge. This is one of my favorite places on campus and it achieves symmetry through its repeating series of windows and overhead lights. It is both eusthetically pleasing and blanced throughout.
