Testing One... out of five
Test render for one out of five drawings done 3d-ed. I'm still not satisfied with the color and the transparency... seem weak. I imagine a high fake contrast between the apartment and the virtual smears as an offset to each other.
*like a highly saturated plastic or toxic residue.

I would like to animate the drawings even for five seconds each. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know asap!!!

selective realities
I found these acrylic and oil paintings by the Gordon Terry [Buamai]. Practically alien to anything found in nature, aside from microorganisms, they remind of what lives under rocks or deep under the sea... like these virtual smears caught in snapshots. The almost clinical approach of presenting the object is like that of an insect collector, pinning the smears in place for our observation.
oneiric activity of a surface
Milanese design and production shop abstract:groove created this amazing temporary outdoor video installation on the side of of the Hotel St. George, in Viale Tunisia, Milan.
Described by the creators as “an audiovisual experiment of perceptive transformation in architecture, through abstract narration, which will show the building as a screen and protagonist simultaneously. Imagine the façade of a building could have a brain and a conscience; consequently it could sleep and dream. Imagine that these surreal forms of life have a characteristic to let loose, during the REM sleep period, a visible transposition of their dreams.”

The Cat's nap
4:18pm Friday evening
The cat napping is an event that happens at anytime during the day. If she so chooses to sleep on this particular bed, a smear still exists from the sleep the night before. Her rolls and stretches are virtual expansions of her sleeping patterns.

Ladies pre-lecture coffee
10:30am Tuesday morning
Biscuits, coffee, sugar and milk set in the living room for the ladies' pre-lecture chat. The dance around one edge of the table to prepare one cup of coffee interferes with the virtual smear of the coffee melting the chocolate biscuits nearby.
Scarf scent
7:12pm Saturday evening
Our bodies in space also hold virtual smears within the apartment. Scent on a scarf becomes an unexpected residue of the earlier morning. Here, the drawing is exploring the visualization of scent, its timed release and pungency.

Feeding the cat
6:15pm Tuesday evening
If not fed promptly at six in the evening, the cat protests. The prepared bowl of food releases pungent fish smells further enticing the feline to dinner.

After being satiated, the bowl is pushed to the side of the kitchen and upon impact with the wall leaves a smear.
Cup of Tea Produced
9:20pm Monday evening
With all ingredients ready, the cup of tea is made... and the counter wiped. Kitchen spotless!

Milk in the Fridge
9:18pm Monday evening
Milk is a must with any cup of tea...
The fridge is an oldie, and the rubber has cracked around the edges, so it is not properly sealed. The interior pungent smell of the fridge thus escapes from the corner when opened and closed.

Boiling Water
9:15pm Monday evening
A cup of tea helps the drawing process...
Boiling water with a rising pitch measured in decibels [dB]. Clicking the kettle in place also releases a virtual smear and when turned on the wall plug sizzles. With each drawing produced, the cause and effect between the actions in reality have to be shown to have a response within the virtual.

Ladies Lecture Drawings
For two days during the week, the studio in Apt.35 is used as a lecture room. Ladies from the Heath make their way down to chat, have a cup of tea and become informed about what new London exhibition is happening at the local museums. This pre-lecture chatter hovers over the virtual smear. I am unsure about its current visualization as I mean to have sound and smell affecting these surface smears. I want the reaction to be more intrusive.
When the lectures finish the chair occupied by the speaker exhibits not just that day's lecture but the one previous. Old smears coagulate underneath new ones.

Curled in Chair
9:50pm in the Evening
The corner envelopes and the chair is positioned to look out onto the room, perfect for a nap... the longer the sit the more the drip progresses from the outer surface of the chair... eventually the cat gravitates to the corner and both errodes even further the seat edge and produces a sound which affects the head loll upon the chair...
Stair Jiggle
The Scratching Seat
6:14pm in the Evening
With each drawing the virtual smear becomes more defined. This corner appears with the television being on; the footseat developes actual stress from frequent use by the cat and the virtual residue collects and drips over the edges.

Virtual Staircase II
9:31am in the Morning
Rushing upstairs... the railing pulls in three places, almost forming a glove around the hand, while the pounding on the stair treads warp the wood into a virtual smear up an over. The steps are as sponges that both absorb and reflect the frequencies and movements imposed upon the surface.

The Eating Cat
11:03pm in the Night
The eating cat displaces both kibbles and a virtual smear. The longer the uneaten kibble remains on the floor the greater the smear. Sound comes into play with a vibration wave measured in decibles. One kibble "crrracks" in the mouth differently than two kibbles in the mouth.
