10/10 Update

Senior Studio

It was a work day today and I spent the day editing the images I took over the weekend.  I also received good advice from my professors and peers on my progress. The following are the images I made/reworked.  The colors are not web friendly, so they are not 1 to 1 representations.

The Holographic Universe Principle is simply put, the idea that our reality is the result of information spread out on a 2D surface, making our world comparable to a hologram. This theory is valid because when an object falls into a black hole a copy of its information is spread out on the surface of the black hole.  With the right method, it is theoretically possible to reconstruct the object using the 2D data.  I exemplify this in my images by taking an image and spreading it out very wide emphasizing the 2D-ness of the image.  The idea is represented in all of my images to some degree, but is perhaps most noticeably featured in the first image.

In the second image I was inspired by the Multiverse Theory, which is the theory that there are multiple universes. This idea is exemplified through the circle as a metaphor for several time related things including a wormhole, a clock, and the sun. The different colors used on the same scenery conveys that the scene takes place in different realities.

The third and fifth images are meant to convey the idea of Eternalism, or the idea that all time is happening at once.  In the third image I’m going to replace the sepia-toned oval with a picture of the same place in the winter time. The ovals sepia tone as a shorthand for old film, and the oval is not hard edged, conveying the idea that both images bleed into each other, and are happening at the same time.  In the final image by overlaying water over the landscape I’m referring to when the landscape was actually underwater.

The fourth image depicts Plato’s Divided Line and the Theory of Forms.  Plato believed that there existed the world of appearance, which consisted of shadows and images and was the world of illusion, and the world of the forms, which consisted of ideas, mathematical forms, geometry and knowledge.  The line seen is meant to be the divided line dividing the two worlds.  On the right is the world of forms, and the left is the world of appearance.  Plato believed that the world of the forms was more real than the things that we saw.  To explain the theory of forms, imagine all the cats there are in the world. They are all cats but no one cat is more real than the other cats yet we have this idea of cat-ness.  That idea is unobservable, and real.  The cats we see are illusions, according to Plato.  The cat can also be substituted for a circle, given that we cannot truly observe a perfect circle in nature, but we have the idea of one.
