Ok i've settled on one thing. a single thing. Pacific Rim Parallels between military and monster movies/ history and development between the two Worldbuilding around a time you've lived through, a divergence in universes Disaster movie world building in areas you've lived in (new phenomena) Theres a certain novelty in seeing places you’ve been to or known in disaster films like these. Usually places like New York are the subject of these films- historically cultural phenomena like these things have always been Eurocentric. War of the worlds, etc. The location shift of culture over the past few decades has been shifting over towards places like the west, California, Japan, China being a few of the big contributors. Watching my tiny island nation (Okinawa, not mainland lmao) benefit from this growth over the past few years has been a delight. How this cult following has shaped portions of my life Ability to recite the whole thing Character interest chart (Video of a normal conversation with overlapping scenes with quotes from the movie being played as you say the words.) The idea of the drift in pacific rim Alternate option- video looping + factoids +character analysis while doing the mile run The idea of the alternate universe trope (string theory) Discussions you had with will about nihilism and the concept of multiple universes The drift is empirical evidence of the fact that we are not alone, (rejects perspectivism! Wild.) Two's character being (curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal) Connection to the drift and the monadology, installation where the tv screens blur together with each other, then an alien entity. The hive mind as it fractals and splinters What does the frog’s eye tell the frog’s brain? Who would you be drift compatible with? (Create dossiers of different people you’d be drift compatible with) Ideas of communication and miscommunication Photography is an option On another note I cant believe this is the way I actually write and i’m exceedingly sorry to the person that has to proofread this. (Why the hell would anyone need to proofread this?) Hey I could write a poem. in theory. How far am I removed from history, in reality? idea of the mind meld was popularized in star trek/ Anyway I’ve been thinking over the years about the whole mind meld brain device type deal. It’s never addressed, in the movie, about what happens if you drift with someone you’re not compatible with. Ok! What happens to the fraction of a hive mind, basically. (Consequences of the drift) Works The drift itself in terms of the film the experience of the drift, melding that idea of human and disaster machine in one form Aftermath of said drift, expressions from one shifting into another Isolation (monad straws bleeding over like fuck) a snapshot of a character, unchanging. how many people can you include before it starts getting messy? Multiple universe theory is #confirmed (kinda) A timeline seen from an external perspective (yours binch) Information minus the final product The idea of running Playing (how much information can I give people)  Go through and notate the entire movie with miscellaneous factoids (novel on one page LA Galla Greystone mansions) How much information can you give a person until they burst info dump time Work ideas: Alternate option- video looping + factoids +character analysis while running Video of your day, logging aspects that you notice over the time Guy that made speakers, video process of the work. Use audio recordings in some capacity. We are only able (as humans) to process things in our specific ways, i.e.: sight, sound smell, over time and space. Thoughts that are purely put on a piece of paper or scribbled down are as close as we get to understanding that person (in this universe) We drift by acquiring information over time, and a sudden onslaught of information is overwhelming and incomprehensible for the most part. Kaiju=alien influence in every shape way and form, pure difference Piece together videos over the internet to show a memory from multiple perspectives Process painting but with everything notated on the painting drift piece performance art Focus: The Drift What does the drift mean for Philosophy (Hive mind, Other universes, alien existence. Giant alien existence.) What does the drift mean for society? ("To fight monsters, we built monsters of our own". How does this new generation correlate with the meaning of this movie? Where did the desire for the drift come from?) What does the drift mean for Two? (and Three?) ((And the kaiju)) Similarities, differences Homages to alien hive minds everywhere (Borg'd) Wish list Aesthetic: Egon Schiele, Monad TV screen, Designations Congruent With Things, The Blue Rider, Robert rauchenberg, Things that have fundamental differences juxtaposed, similarities highlighted. (NOTHING IN BETWEEN) Response: Ooo neat, id like to get in a little closer, difficult to understand but not impossible Again, I need to choose my topics and do more research on each one. Come up with the pieces and the materials necessary to make them. First and foremost I want to have a clarity of concept. (HAHAHAHAHA) EXPOUNDING ON THIS -Sylvia Origin stories of all the characters, (ie Three=turing Six=kaiju=godzilla) seen through the drift Where they came from from del toro’s perspective, their culmination as characters Work with collage, multimedia, notebooks forming into characters, worlds forming- separating from our timeline- pulling back into our timeline We’re drifting with the movie! (in a really weird Kandinsky painting sorta way) Remember intro/outro will provide context but make it poetic and fun. Divided into three main parts Two Three Six Pieces will operate like things that stick together Big collage piece will connect to war, if you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back- right at the very end of the collage. Much of it will be in written letters. Turning concepts into characters. Rotten tomatoes lineup of some sort???? Pons will be more simplistic- conceptual. Focused on our perception vs the reality of it. It flickers from person to person. Build a kaiju? Something to depict size in mass. Like a wave. (Keep in mind distinct difference between the idea of the tsunami and the actuality of it.) Large minimalist cube painted with something blue and iridescent, smooth over the grounds it walks. something connects it to the other side of the room, (make it organic? Kinda gross? GELATIN. or literally dye meat blue.) TURN THE BLUE CUBE INTO A LITERAL THEATRE, PROJECT THE IDEA OF THE HIVEMIND DIRECTLY ONTO IT have a shiny glaze with honeycomb metallic-y paint under it- or maybe nerve cell like I need to do more research on solipsism. (CONT) The idea of the kaiju connect to my background in an inextricable way. The end of WWII was marked by two atom bombs dropped on Japan. General Macarthur then became a quasi-dictator of the nation, Japan became kind of a buffer zone between China, etc. etc. The idea of (the lack of) free will is funny if you put a spin on it, suppose you’re trying to recreate that experiment where one speeds up time by moving real fast in an airplane for a long period of time. If there is no free will, you’ve been predetermined to spending what time you have hurtling through space and time trying to figure everything out, I find this idea extremely humorous. Reality is something you experience, just as mortality is. Transcriptions from audio Coughs Can you actually see a visual in your head? picture it and hold it? I feel like it may be more abstract if you really delve into it. It’s the idea of the image not the image.
