Creative exchange_01

Notes

From November 2023 to February 2024, I participated in a creative exchange with Berlin-based studio onformative for a total of four months. Among the various themes that the studio was working on, I was particularly interested in graphic notation from a structural perspective, so it was a great opportunity for me to conduct in-depth image research.

2023년 11월부터 2024년 2월까지 4개월간 베를린 기반의 디자인 스튜디오 onformative와 크리에이티브 익스체인지 프로그램에 참여했습니다. 스튜디오에서 지속적으로 탐구해온 다양한 주제 중 '그래픽 노테이션'이라는 분야에 대해 구조적 접근 방식에서의 관심이 맞아떨어져, 해당 주제를 중심으로 심화된 이미지 연구를 진행할 수 있었습니다.

Overall Visualization process of 'Graphic notation'

In the process of concretizing the image, I initially wanted to express something that remains historically through the keyword “artefacts” and the classicism of graphic notation. However, rather than emphasizing the classicism of graphic notation, I decided that a more modern approach would be more interesting, combining various musical instruments and everyday schematic instruments in an experimental way. As a result, I adjusted the direction accordingly.

There are no elements in the image that can be directly described as “graphic notation.” I sought to emphasize the three-dimensionality of the 3D graphic image by replacing the elements that constitute graphic notation, such as musical notes and sheet music, with various unrelated items, signs, and modules. Above all, I aimed to deconstruct the concept of classical sheet music and create a structure that is either illegible or requires interpretation, thereby reinterpreting the structure of existing graphic notation from the perspective of a visual artist.
