| In Project 1 Density, students explored the mobility of a particular condition/phenomena of the physical world to understand density. By beginning with a simple exploration of positive and negative space within the mass of a plaster cube, the students embedded volumes of air, in the form of balloons, and carved out volumes from their sectioned cubes. This began a mode of interpretation that expanded the possible understandings of the nature of both high and low density. Through the merging of these two states of density, a hybrid state was then asked to be articulated by requiring the student to examine the possible sensual qualities and/or physical, chemical, biological conditions of an unseen force (matter) - be it through wavelengths, fields of atoms or bytes - that mold and shape our spatial experience The final outcome manifested itself, as a definition of hybrid density, a concept, articulated as a spatial and temporal process leaving in its wake volumes excavated from a plaster mass. | |||||||
