Thesis Post #30: Beginnings of the curation process.
originally posted 2/2/09

Something I need to get going on asap is the curation of what is going to be in my exhibition. I think it will a process in progress for quite a while, but gotta start somewhere. I'll be collecting loads of images to sift through that relate to each other out of a common visual perception concept/theory/phenomena/etc. Basically this will progress eventually to things that will be in the same section together within my proposed exhibition.

This first batch will probably give you a migraine if you look at them too long.

Visual perception relevancy: illusory motion
Art movement: Kinetic and Op-Art

I find it fascinating that some of these were made by "op-artists", while others were made by "vision scientists."

These slides are from my brief thesis proposal presentation for my first thesis class this week.

(I tried to keep them as straight forward as possible because I believe slides are supposed to ENHANCE the presentation, not, BE the presentation.)
