Webs

I have started committing fully to the process of, while I am reading a book or into a topic, creating a web of each element that interests me via Clip Studio.

This formed, like many academic practices, as a solution to a problem. I wanted to see which ideas/people/events were linked to each other, and by making the connection, what new ideas emerged. Sort of like doing chemistry in the dark, I would grab two elements on different sides of the spider diagram, and ask the question ‘how are these connected?’.

Sometimes, there is none, or at least none that do not make me come across as someone rambling to themselves on the bus. Though, when there are, its impossible to un-see the connections.

Originally, this process was done with mostly my (digital) notes, with some multimodal elements such as screenshots.

What stopped me from embracing this type of learning method in the past was 2 primary concerns.

Searchability: with this type of web, there is no ‘ctrl + f’ to quickly find specific words or themes, meaning that for a quick reference it does not do as well as a word document. Though, I have come to learn that this is its strength. By looking at the web, and following its connections, new ideas are continuously forming with each inspection. In a way, it is a living document.

Finite Space: since these files exist as images, there is a limit to how large they can become. This is due to: the time it takes to save an image causing potential corruptions/crashes, what file types it can be saved as becomes reduced as the file size increases, space between connections becomes too compact. Etc.

There are solutions to the finite space problem, such as using an alternative software that is built for spider diagrams, but that always tends to result in some form of freedom-restriction, e.g. dealing with its method of classing/hierarchy, not having certain mediums allowed.

Also, from an authorship standpoint, using these systems felt less me. Less personal. I want to be able to doodle, be silly, or include images of people and concepts on tangentially related without the entire system feeling off.

Then, something happened to me which had not happened before. I realised, that a lot of my works, from lots of separate university modules and projects, had two shared elements — the theme of chance, and the medium of film. As such, I decided to write a PhD proposal looking into a merging or these 2 domains.

With this, I had to write a 6000 word piece in a short time, so I did not have as much time to prep and make a new web like I normally would. So, I instead looked at all of my previous webs I had made in the past. To my surprise, I was making connections between different webs, and a new meta-web formed. This, in effect, pulled the bandage off of worrying about sticking to one shared web with everything.

...

When reading around ‘chance’, I had stumbled upon the nouveau réalisme movement. It sounded interesting, so I did something relatively new to me, and I just started a new document looking into the same topic of ‘chance’, but from a different place. Rather than writing out my ideas first, I copied and pasted multiple Wikipedia articles.

When I read about an artistic work that sounded interesting, I would look it up and paste it in for extended context. Same with locations, publications, etc. It moved more away from word connections, to a type of Dada collage of things.

...

Now, when it comes to reading a book, I do the same thing as the Wikipedia articles.

Read the work

Create Physical Note

Insert both ‘the book’ and ‘the physical note’ into digital web.

Make connections between concepts within web.

Create digital notes around the nature of the connections, as well as include other image elements where appropriate.

...

I’m sure this process will evolve further in the future, but I am having a lot of fun with it.

I hope this maybe gave you some ideas of how to manage theme connections. Let me know if you have any thoughts regarding this!

To summarize:

Through my creative work, I paint pictures, write songs and screenplays, make films, and act in them myself. To stay organized, I have created separate YouTube channels for my music and films.

The current plan is to paint a portrait of Leonardo da Vinci next. After that, I will present the third part of my short trilogy, which is part of the series concept. Following that, the mixer should be ready so that I can record my songs for the album as I envision them.

Currently, I have songs on Spotify, but it is not yet the final album. These songs only show the development process of my album.

Here’s my shot of Lil Nas X at 10th Annual LACMA Art and Film Gala Presented By Gucci. Lil Nas X was killing it with the suit and Jewelry. He even got some of that “back that up” action and we all had a laugh. @lacma #artandfilm #lacma (at LACMA Los Angeles County Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWCamGQJrnu/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rachel Grimes — Earthly Heaven

Between you and a world forever out of reach, there is a strange and empty tunnel. I don’t know anyone else who knows that road. You’re standing alone at the entrance to that tunnel, because you know something I can’t even put a name on, something deeper and more ruthless than I can ever understand. I realise that I can never get closer to that world, I can only long for it, because it is hidden by I light and warmth I cannot bear. I have never been able to believe in it, nor to renounce it... If I were to lose you it would be the unforgivable end of me, because I know nothing about that unnameable world. Since you are part of it, you mean the world to me.

Béla Tarr / Kárhozat (1988)

Finally got this back from school after almost a year...whoops! This was for an art and film project back in November of 2016 where I painted what would be a VHS cover (or poster) for the animated short Over the Garden Wall if it had been made in the 90s. Nostalgic, ya? It was originally a crappy oil painting of a still life, so instead of chunking it or scraping it, I used the neat texture from the failed oil painting and overlaid it with acrylic. Helped with the creepy, older feel. #otgw #overthegardenwall #cartoons #cartoonnetwork #painting #fanart #otgwfanart #wirt #greg #beast #beatrice #jasonfunderburker #patrickmchale #elijahwood #acrylicpaint #oilpaint #2016 #vhs #animatedshort #90s #nostalgic #art #film #artandfilm #artist #artwork #fall #autumn #artistsofinstagram #millythehippie
