(re) create
Based on image and sound: Media + Motion + Space.
TYPES OF CONTENT images
TYPES OF CONTENT images
- Observation giving importance to specific vista.
- Revelations feeling a site throw a filtre
- Site Test distorting the space in order to see the reality from a new perspective.
HOW TO PASS FROM 2D to 3D (SPACE/outcome)
- Hidding something in order to make people to pay attention and focus on that.
- Observing the space/reality from a new point of view; time/space/subject.
OUTCOME?
- IN CONTEXT -> showing -> augmented reality.
- OUT CONTEXT -> hidding -> (re)create the reality/space.
- NEW CONTEXT -> discovering -> augmented reality (re)creating the space.
Individual/Shared: throw the world known tool Google Maps.

Reset
After weeks of knowing Notting Hill, visiting the place, walking there, taking pictures, learning about it, observing the same place in differents days, different time and from different points of view.
After annalyzing and trying to do different things with what I had got, I realized that I was in a cul-de-sac. Blocked because I didn't know what to do with all that. For this reason I stopped and observed all this from outside to relocate me to know where I am going to go. I again raised some main points.
HIPOTESIS
- What is space?
- Spaces are not just spaces. Spaces affect people emotions.
- Pictures, sounds and words about Portobello are not Portobello. They are just pictures, sounds and words. Is that the meaning of the place?
- Is a place an amount of relationships between people, spaces, actions, time, senses?
- Are feelings of people about Portobello real? If it yes, why don't try to recreate an space wich can produce the same feelings/experience as the original one? Is that a moore accurated way to represnet a space?
- Find out if it's possible to recreate a specific Space without the Space itself. No need Portobello site to show what Portobello is.
- Can we get a diferent space from fitting the crumbled pieces of an original space?
WHAT
Showing an space from a non conventional way, but trying to be more accurate. Show Portobello through the senses, feelings, thoughts, emotions...
WHO
To everyone that want to experimentate/know the feeling of being at Portobello area.
To establish a method that lend to reprenent places.
HOW process
- Analyzing the site:
- Taking pictures.
- Recording sounds.
- Interact with people.
- Organising the research.
- Main spaces:
- The sides of M40
- Prtobello road
- Notting Hill's residencial streets
- Indoor Spaces (bar, stations, shops)
- Shaping the elements I get.
- Crumbling the place and recompose it again (no necessary keeping the same structure, same size, same shape...) Not just copying it exactly how it is, but recreating it.
HOW method
Always knowing that Portobello is Portobello; the aim of this project is trying to find a way to represent and show that space/experience by the time it's studied, observed, analized... How making people to have a similar experience as someone can feel in the original space.
Is that possible by creating an ennviorment with succesive sounds, images, textures, paths?
Is that possible by creating an ennviorment with succesive sounds, images, textures, paths?
Breaking the "reality" to (re)construct a new space.
Process: a series of actions or steps towards achieving a particular end.
Method: a particular form of procedure for accomplishing or approaching something.

This is not a train

| René Magritte "Ceci n'est pas une pipe", 1929 |
What is space? Pictures, sounds and words about Portobello are not Portobello. They are just pictures, sounds and words.
What is space? Is not just a place to fill with furniture and people. Is a place an amount of relationships between people, spaces, actions, time, senses?

Text III: "Imatges and their fixed durations"
"Cinema has an interior rhythm, that of the image and an exterior rhythm, between the images; that means they are created by the order of successions of the imatges and their fixed durations."

Text
"The film is very much like a moving drawing. One motif follows another, each presented with the diagrammatic clarity of blackboard drawing all arranged along a diagonal axis."

Only the acts and their movement
"The lack of this "present" is the essential characteristic of film. Not because films are still unperfected, not because even today their moving forms remain mute, but simply because they are only the acts and the movement of people, and not people themselves."
Fragment from Georg Lukacs in an article of 1913.

Negative impression negativated = +
It becomes to something that seems positive.
Changing from death into life.
Bright and peaceful colours shining in the space.

M40: Notable (awful) events
Font: Wikipedia. "M40 motorway". 11:28 pm, 12th of October, 2012.
Notable Events
__________________________________________________________
- Twelve school children and a teacher died when their minibus crashed into a parked motorway maintenance vehicle just after midnight on 18 November 1993. The inquest recorded a verdict of accidental death for all of the victims but noted that none of the children were wearing seatbelts and that the side-facing bench seating was dangerous.[citation needed] Seatbelts were subsequently made compulsory equipment on all coaches and minibuses (more than 20 years after they had been compulsory on cars).[citation needed] It has been compulsory for passengers to wear seatbelts on coaches and minibuses since 2006.[9]
- A motor cycle rider was shot dead between junctions 13 and 12 on 12 August 2007.[10][11] The victim was a member of the Hells Angels on his way home from the Bulldog Bash.[12] In October 2008, a man pleaded guilty to murder ahead of the trial of six other men on charges of murder and firearms offences.
- Jimmy Davis, a 21-year-old Watford footballer on loan from Manchester United, died on a stretch of the M40 in Oxfordshire in the early hours of 9 August 2003 after his BMWcollided with a lorry. The footballer was over the drink-drive limit and had been driving at speeds of up to 120 miles per hour (190 km/h).[13]
- In 2002 more than 100 vehicles were involved in a pile-up near High Wycombe that resulted in two deaths.[14][15]
- On the 18th July 2012, a woman driver in her sixties died, after being burnt alive, in an inferno sparked by a Porsche, which crashed into back of her car after she broke down in middle lane.[16]
Ideas of space
- "It is the three-dimensional field which define and express volumetric forms."
- "The space is a means of expression of the architecture itself is not accidental resulting three-dimensional orientation of planes and volumes."
- "Other means of expression, valid in themselves for the arts, for example, such as line, color, surface texture, are but media configurators space of the architecture."
