German expresionism and film noir

German expressionism and film noir

 Going through my feedback about the for audio-to-body feel, I found a note that said that the person felt the sound was making them think of Film Noir. I thought this was interesting so I decided to take it on and watch some of these films. This minimal black and white interested me in developing the visual more in a minimal but striking style. This thought process when looking at the previous one, was layered, raw, expressive, loud and distorted.  Black and white could have me simplify and draw the focus into a more vulnerable place.  Drawing the viewer to a more fragile space.

 German expressionism is a genre of film influenced by the works of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud psychologists known for their insight into the human condition. Instantly watching this film at the top I see resemblances with the distorted view of darkness over expressed shadows within the works of Tim Burton and I have grown up unknowingly introduced to this genre through him. With this strong association, it shows how bedded within the association of horror and sadness this kind of vision is caused instantly this is what comes to mind and this really drives forward within imagery dark blue colours, visual strong tones and shadows. 

  Film noir which came after the great depression is influenced by German expressionism. It contains a subtle dark visual and it's the classic black and white genre of film which is associated with Hollywood, so beauty and tragedy. This softer approach to sadness and darkness is more mainstream and palatable reflecting ordinary life; visually in a way that looks normal  

When think about emptiness in these films I feel connected to my use of film, sound and physicality exploring movement, environment and the tone of muddy minimal hope.

Charlie Chaplin

Charlie chaplin a slapstick   filmmaker actor with his physical yet emotional expressions there is a subtle sadness sometimes sensitivity and humor within his works of Charlie Chaplin this is what want to take as his work is physically perfectly choreographed with the music playing with his performance in my exploration of performance I thought about this and took this into my work with the use movement and the approach with words within mimanal sound.

Expressive Layers: Dancing with Sound Waves and Braille

 

ChatGPT

In the early hours of Saturday morning, I found myself in a spontaneous burst of creativity, fueled by the gentle melodies of music and the silent whispers of inspiration. As the clock struck 4 a.m., I surrendered to the rhythm, allowing my thoughts to wander through the labyrinth of my project.

My mind drifted to the images I had crafted, each one a tapestry of sound waves and Braille interwoven with my own image—a visual symphony of personal autobiography. Yet, as I marvelled at these creations, I realized their language was not universally understood. While they spoke volumes to me, their message may remain veiled to others.

Driven by the desire to bridge this gap of understanding, I embarked on a spontaneous artistic endeavour. Armed with nothing but my camera and a playful spirit, I adorned myself in a whimsical wig and a polka-dot swimsuit, ready to dance my way through layers of expression.

With each graceful movement, I sought to transcend the limitations of language, weaving together the threads of sound waves and Braille into a vibrant tapestry of emotion. The camera became my canvas, capturing the essence of my journey as I danced amidst the pixels and pixels of my creation.

In this moment of uninhibited creativity, I drew inspiration from the timeless elegance of silent cinema, channelling the spirit of pioneers like Charlie Chaplin. Through the simplicity of minimalistic aesthetics and the absence of spoken words, I sought to tap into the universal language of the human experience—a language that speaks directly to the heart.

As the first light of dawn painted the sky in hues of rose and gold, I stood amidst the echoes of my creation, humbled by the power of artistic expression. In dancing with sound waves and Braille, I had discovered a newfound freedom—a freedom to communicate without boundaries, to tell stories without words.

As the world began to stir awake, I found solace in the knowledge that, though our languages may differ, our emotions remain universal. In the dance of life, we are all connected by the threads of our shared humanity, weaving together a tapestry of stories as diverse and vibrant as the colors of the dawn.

Layer communication samples

Layer Communication 

Bringing the layers together gave a look of a language that was readable to the eye of another world with the braille layering over the sound waves and the body. When turned to the side it looks like a building . It is giving me digtal 80s computer graphics electro this is what is see for all of the diffrent coloured versions . However the top to bring more moodness the creating of this layering was moving into this image of the body that almost resenbels a xray the braille and the sound waves is something like insides hanging out raw for the world to see . Hear a sound  no we see the sound wave in its raw state and I know that people are blind but the language raw it doesnt translate to the everyday person and the xray looking at ones insides .
