The film looks at the inside and the outside, voiceover of peoples thoughts and consciousness jumping from one to the other together with my own over in places… taking the camera inside the human brain how its working at a particular time the connections it may be making, with the coordinates factual, zooming into the body and going back out again
We share the external space but have an internal experience
How do we think we perceive space? How do we create our cognitive map of our surroundings and environment? Is this connected to our social staus, gender, age, race, culture & background, knowlage base and educational background were we come from? what of the biological human process that occurs within the brain? Is it therefore different for everyone or is there a control of the same?
Process;
Back on the DLR retaking footage and interviewing people on
the train recording their thoughts namely asking what are you thinking rite
now.. trying to think about what was going through their minds trying to
understand what they were aware of in that moment
From
my interviewing I found that people who I saw to be of english origin
had comments such as
Im
not thinking of anything
Im
reading my twitter
What
hospital have I got to get to
My
dog iv left him at home
I
don’t have a phone
Im
thinking of where I am going.. shopping canary wharf
Followed
by a questioning of what I was doing followed by their ideas of architecture in
London.. a very practical level
Others
from elsewhere on the train were saying
I
don’t speak English very well
Im
hungry
Im
thinking of going away.. going to Barcelona
Should
I move my bag if someone comes?
A larger sample would obviously need to be taken to make such assumptions but could
this show connections between our society and our knowledge base, background
and experience
Am
interested in the idea of our perception being biological & instinctive
something we learn and develop instinctively over time ,through practice
knowledge base and experience. Our
awareness of self & being able to be self aware based on what we tell
ourselves how we train ourselves so we have connections inbuilt within us.
Being
in an external reality, the factual but internally experiencing the moment.
I
am inside, I am outside…
The
culture and society in which we live inevitably influences the way in which we
experience things, our brains build connections by what we see what we learn
and what we lead ourselves to believe or what we are lead to believe. It
is factual biological seemingly connecting to the global facts of location,
time, actuality.
Have
been looking at how the brain works, the connections it forms when it becomes
better at it - Like how you learn to walk , you fall down first time but
biologically you train your brain to learn it then becomes an unconscious
action you do it instinctively
The
brain - consciousness where does it come from??
The
readings have added to my thinking through the following interests I have
picked up
Frederic
Jamesons ideas on cognitive mapping and how we must understand the global
complexity for you to understand it on a local level
The
psychic processes which engage production and reception
The
intersection of the personal and the social
Articulation
of the local and the global
Instinctive
or unconscious forms of genius
Kevin
Lynch image of the city- the construction and reconstruction of an
articulated ensemble which can be retained in memory and which the individual
subject can map and remap along the moments
Cognitive
mapping as coordination of existential data the empirical position of the
subject abstract conceptions of the geographic totality.
Van
Goughs pheasant shoes-sight the visual the eye, a semi autonomous space in its
own right, Heidegers central analysis – the work emerges from the gap between
the earth and world meaningless between body and nature and the meaning
endowment of history and the social
Transformation
of one form of materiality the earth itself and its paths and physical objects-
The earth protected in the world of the pheasant woman
Feelings
& emotions connected to our images what we see what we have seen
Expression
separates within the subject, inside & outside, the wordless pain, the
moment which the emotion is projected and externalized, desperate communication
& outward dramatization of the inward feeling
Scream
deconstructs is own aesthetic expression while remaining imprisons within it,
cry , raw vibrations of the human throat incompatible within its medium
Daily
life our psychic experience, our languages are dominated by categories of space
rather than of categories of time.
