The Braille project - research stage

When I worked on the wine 'bottle project', I became really fascinated by the 'dots'. 

I wanted to examine more about the informative use for people without sight and the entertaining use for people with sight and bring those elements together with art. 

First I was looking for an interesting base to start this project with. Since I really like to draw my 'dream world', I wanted let those drawings serve as a base for this project. I want to translate my drawings into text in a poetic way..

This project is in it's research-phase. More results will be posted in the future.

(In this post I will share my findings).

It took a while before I found the right cutter.

I have had a few questions left.

This is going to be my year, although I am going to try my very best to make this my year, my year. It means I am going to graduate around May 2013. For this I am working on a big project and I want it to be stunning, mind blowing and more! To begin with, I want to take my Tetris project as a base for this new project. The elements that fascinated me are: - The pieces all together make something new (this can be changed every time). - The role that the owner has towards his own work. - The multifunctional pieces, they can be used for other purposes as well. With this in mind I started thinking about this new project.  Somewhere during the summer holiday I found this pictures of myself. I am around 1 year old. I put it in a frame, and I became more fascinated every time I looked at it. Me being so unaware of what is going to come up to me in live, having so much fun that very moment. I am happy. So I wanted to use this photo of me, because I feel very

This is a new course I am joining, it started last week, Monday 12 March. In this course we first talked about public art, street art and environmental art. The teacher introduced us to these kinds of art by showing a powerpoint with works in there from: Banksy Anish Kapoor Niki de saint Phalle Antony Gormley After that we got the assignment: Combine things like street art, environmental art and public art. Tell the public your story, your style and everyone's creative philosophy in this project. Make your own public work for one day. I came with the next idea: I will make make ball shaped pieces of porcelain. I will stand somewhere in the public space where a lot of people are passing by. I will ask the persons who pass by, to grab 1 ball and throw it at the ground. Before they do that I will ask them to, when they throw it,  think about something that upsets them  or that makes them angry (in their life or world wide). I will collect
