" Utterly compelling." New Scientist. " Quite unbearably moving." Spectator. " Eye opening." Londonist. " Innovative." Fast Company. " Another excellent exhibition." Red Pepper

Revered by everyone from Martin Luther King Jr. to Beyoncé, W. E. B. Du Bois stands as one of the most important and influential African American activists and intellectuals of the 20 th century. As co-founder of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and author of the seminal book The Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois is celebrated for his profound and prolific writings. But alongside his famous essays, Du Bois produced an astounding - yet little-known - body of infographics to challenge pseudo-scientific racism, making visual arguments every bit as powerful as his textual ones.

W. E. B. Du Bois: Charting Black Lives displays the complete set of 63 graphics shown at the 1900 Paris Exposition, produced by Du Bois and a team of African American students from his sociology laboratory at Atlanta University. These visually innovative graphs, charts and maps formed a radical new approach to refuting racism, using strikingly presented facts and statistics to counter contemporary white supremacy.

Alongside reproductions of Du Bois's graphics, the exhibition presents original artwork by Mona Chalabi, Data Editor at The Guardian, repurposing his distinctively clean lines, arresting shapes and bold primary colours for the 21 st century. Chalabi's work demonstrates the enduring relevance of Du Bois's data visualisation methods and the racial inequalities he fought against.
Watch Chalabi updating Du Bois' infographics.
W. E. B. Du Bois: Charting Black Lives is co-curated by Paul Goodwin, Professor at the University of the Arts London, a curator, scholar and specialist in black urbanism.

Stephen:

The music:

The beat that starts, it tails off. The music become too calm. Need more impact. Punchy aspect to the sound and image.

Alterations to the drop to it speeds up.

Rachel:

Over arching concept is not strong enough. What is it that is bringing this so that the concept to be strong. think the sound will being it together. How to make it more concise and strong as a concept

need some change in tempo- to heighten the senses.

Increase the sound of the drops, to insert more quick images (being more descriptive)

film by next Tuesday

Friday review with Rachel and Stephen.

Stephen

The music that is used at the background is making it too flat.

Play around with the tension, dynamic through editing and sound design

Do more tests with the structure of the 30 sec.

You can manipulate the emotions of the audience, making them feel a certain way.

less rendering of the images, it spent have to carry everything. Let sound do the work as well.

Don't be afraid of typography- try to add some of the text 'of survival, of success, of life, of death...'

Hard cut can be a beautiful thing.

juxtaposition of sound and visual (e.g beautiful, tranquil image with harsh, loud sounds)

you might be able to strip down even more of the visuals- do less animation.

Rachel

What is giving it focus? What am I responding to? What do you want to get across?

You can be more direct. Is it people, place, situations- you can try to make the audience uncomfortable.

What does 400 chord sound like? what does 'of survival, of success, of life, of death...' sound like?

Scenes doesn't have to flow seemlessly.

Thing to consider:

Sound design/ mixing- Phoebe

editing/ pacing/ tension- Xuanmei

animation cuts/ story board/ visual experimentation-Nina

Organised by the tutors comments:

Rachel

Even though water is important and good visual device, a lot of the other groups have also decided to use this.

Perhaps use water as something a bit more specific.-Mix it with/put along side more quantifiable moments/ images.

Really liked the collaged elements in the mood film. Maybe you can keep the more abstract, water related images but exchange one for a more quantified image (e.g. archival image and or photograph)

Russell

You are talking about body of water and water but Sea as a element has many meaning it self. (which you used at the beginning of the film)

Sea can be clam and relaxing but also very violent and scary. What is the way you can use the sea to convey?

Stephen

The snap shots shown very quickly in beat works quite well. could you bring elements of the on beat snap shots to the animation?

Making of your own sound archive and to use the sounds to create the beats that are similar to the sound you used. (Phoebe mentioned the various sounds of water categorised by different emotions on the padlet)

Agreed with Rachel about he collage. Talked about the weight of the columns and how it can bring attention to each image differently. Giving them different level of importance and so on.

Should crack on with the animation ideas: may be you can base it off the story arc graph to start storyboarding.

Story board idea notes

Trying to make soundtrack or audio from the water noises and make it to be similar beat as the audio we used for mood film.

might not have to show 'water' but convey water in other ways.

want the final animation to be mixture of abstract and the more identifiable imageries. (Nina enjoyed group 17's mood film)

The elements we wanted to shed light in the animation to represent the passage int he book: 'chord of survival, of struggle, of success, of death, of life, of joy, of racism, of antiracism, of creation, of destruction'

Some of the video quality seemed to have been a little corrupted :( but I tried.

# data[].attributes.body
the water colour can change into funky acidic colours in the animation

# data[].attributes.body
there is something really lovely about eh layering, like there is a additional step that needs to be crosses to get to the blue

# data[].attributes.body
I really like this idea Nina! I think making the images more abstract is a good way to go about it.

The content of the book in the Image 2 can be represented by the change of rhythm and graphic movement.

# data[].attributes.body
can also have an abstract choir scene

The overall style can switch between abstract graphics and partial realism.

A man fell from a boat and became a drop of water, dropping into the sea. The circle keeps pushing upward, trying to get back to the surface of the sea. In this process, it can change shapes and colours. Such as become bullets, cotton, or the pen as weapons... It can also be broken down into many circles to symbolize the whole black community come together struggled with this history. Apart from that, it can also change the colours (dark or light) to correspond the content in the book as shown in Image 1. But these circles never make it back to the surface because the book says: "This dream is not yet a reality. We have much work left to do." In the end, the scene gradually shrinks into the inside of the book, and then the book is closed and the book cover appears.
