Camera obscura (plural camera obscura or camera obscuras; from Latin, meaning "dark room": camera "(vaulted) chamber or room," and obscura "darkened, dark"), also referred to as pinhole image, is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen as a reversed and inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening. The surroundings of the projected image have to be relatively dark for the image to be clear, so many historical camera obscura experiments were performed in dark rooms.

A digital single-lens reflex camera is a digital camera that combines the optics and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor.

The reflex design scheme is the primary difference between a DSLR and other digital cameras.

In the reflex design, light travels through the lens, then to a mirror that alternates to send the image to either the viewfinder or the image sensor.

The traditional alternative would be to have a viewfinder with its own lens, hence the term "single lens" for this design.

By using only one lens, the viewfinder of a DSLR presents an image that will not differ substantially from what is captured by the camera's sensor.

A DSLR differs from non-reflex single-lens digital cameras in that the viewfinder presents a direct optical view through the lens, rather than being captured by the camera's image sensor and displayed by a digital screen.]]> 2018-10-03 19:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288866807 The SLR veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288866985
A single-lens reflex camera (SLR) is a camera that typically uses a mirror and prism system (hence "reflex" from the mirror's reflection) that permits the photographer to view through the lens and see exactly what will be captured.

With twin lens reflex and rangefinder cameras, the viewed image could be significantly different from the final image. When the shutter button is pressed on a mechanical SLR, the mirror flips out of the light path, allowing light to pass through to the light receptor and the image to be captured.]]> 2018-10-03 19:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288866985 The Smart Camera veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288867191
A smart camera is a self-contained, standalone vision system with built-in image sensor in the housing of an industrial video camera. It contains all necessary communication interfaces, e.g. Ethernet, as well as industry-proof 24V I/O lines for connection to a PLC, actuators, relays or pneumatic valves.

The Model 95 is the first of Edwin Land's instant picture cameras. Starting in 1948 the Polaroid Corporation in Rochester made at least 1.5 million of the Model 95 folding viewfinder camera for his instant roll film, including the variants, Model 95A (1954) and 95B (1957).^[1]The first of these is recognizable having a spring sighting pin as part of the viewfinder, while the later model 95A and 95B have a wire frame. The 95B also uses EV numbers for the exposure scale. The model name is written on the face plate of the camera.

The magic lantern, also known by its Latin name lanterna magica, is an early type of image projector employing pictures painted, printed or produced photographically on transparent plates (usually made of glass), one or more lenses, and a light source. It was mostly developed in the 17th century and commonly used for entertainment purposes. It was increasingly applied to educational purposes during the 19th century. Since the late 19th century smaller versions were also mass-produced as a toy for children. The magic lantern was in wide use from the 18th century until the mid-20th century, when it was superseded by a compact version that could hold many 35 mm photographic slides: the slide projector.

The magic lantern used a concave mirror in back of a light source to direct as much of the light as possible through a small rectangular sheet of glass—a "lantern slide"—on which was the image to be projected, and onward into a lens at the front of the apparatus. The lens was adjusted to optimally focus the plane of the slide at the distance of the projection screen, which could be simply a white wall, and it therefore formed an enlarged image of the slide on the screen.^[1] Some lanterns, including those of Christiaan Huygens and Jan van Musschenbroek, used 3 lenses.]]> 2018-10-03 19:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288868835 The Zoopraxicope veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288868940
The zoetrope consists of a cylinder with cuts vertically in the sides. On the inner surface of the cylinder is a band with images from a set of sequenced pictures. As the cylinder spins, the user looks through the slits at the pictures across. The scanning of the slits keeps the pictures from simply blurring together, and the user sees a rapid succession of images, producing the illusion of motion. From the late 19th century, devices working on similar principles have been developed, named analogously as linear zoetropes and 3D zoetropes, with traditional zoetropes referred to as "cylindrical zoetropes" if distinction is needed.

The zoetrope works on the same principle as its predecessor, the phenakistoscope, but is more convenient and allows the animation to be viewed by several people at the same time. Instead of being radially arrayed on a disc, the sequence of pictures depicting phases of motion is on a paper strip. For viewing, this is placed against the inner surface of the lower part of an open-topped metal drum, the upper part of which is provided with a vertical viewing slit across from each picture. The drum, on a spindle base, is spun. The faster the drum is spun, the smoother the animation appears.

The Praxinoscope was invented in 1877 by Charles Reynaud who was the first to overcome the picture distortion caused by viewing through moving slots, it quickly replaced the zoetrope’s popularity.

Praxinoscope has mirrors in the middle with frames at the side that’s been placed inside a shallow outer cylinder, to see the movement of the animation you have to spin it and look at the mirrors. The number of mirrors are actually equal to the number of pictures so the images of pictures are viewed in the mirrors.

The reflected pictures gives an illusion of moving pictures, when the outer cylinder rotates, this is how the mirror is placed.

For my collection I've chosen to work with origami paper, being the main folding chosen object the tsuru, the paper folded representation crane.

The Japanese word, "origami" is a combination of two words in Japanese: "ori" which means "to fold" and "kami" which means "paper".

Originally origami has a long history and was primitively not for children at all, as it is believed that Japanese origami began in the 6th century, and because of the high costs of paper, origami was only used for religious ceremonial purposes.

The earliest records of origami in Japan date to the Heian Period (794-1185).

It was during this period that Japan's nobility had its golden age and it was a time of great artistic and cultural advances.

Paper was still a rare enough comodity that origami was a pastime for the elite, as paper was folded into set shapes for ceremonial occasions such as weddings. ]]> 2018-10-03 19:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288871040 veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288871588 2018-10-03 20:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288871588 veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288871785 2018-10-03 20:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288871785 veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288873619 2018-10-03 20:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288873619 Serif veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288875875

These days, while some people consider it a real art form that is very Zen-like in its simplicity and depth, origami is regarded mainly as an activity for children, who are taught just a few standard designs.

Even in Japan, the most complicated design that most people master is the tsum, which has developed into a worldwide symbol of children's desire for peace.

In the mid-1950s, 11-year old Sasaki Sadako developed leukemia as a result of her exposure to radiation as a baby during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945.

Tradition held that if you made a senbazuru (a thousand paper cranes - Tsuru) and made a wish after completing each one, your wish would come true.

Sadako set about making the tsuru, wishing for her own recovery.
As she continued, she began to wish instead for world peace.

One version of the story says that she died when she had made only 644 and her school friends completed the full number and dedicated them to her at her funeral, but, perhaps a more reliable version, says she completed the 1,000 and went on the fold several hundred more before passing away to the cancer at the age of 12.

Regardless of the details, the story helped inspire the Children's Peace Memorial in Hiroshima and a statue of Sadako in Seattle. ]]> 2018-10-03 20:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288886337 veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288887456 Serrated strips of white paper were used to mark sacred objects, a custom which can still be seen in every shrine to this day.

But then, as it fell in the popular taste, people started to develop cheaper paper and consequently in became a strong and fortified tradition on the Japanese culture. I can hardly think of a western person who didn't, as a child, make a paper airplane using folded newspaper or a sheet from a notebook. ]]> 2018-10-03 20:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288887456 veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/288892601 Origami is one such facet that lends itself to the visual medium.

In fact, logos form the lesser part of Bass’ artistic legacy. Read on for a look at one of the most illustrious graphic design careers to date.

Getting his start

Bass was born in 1920 in New York City, to Jewish immigrants. A creative child, he drew constantly. For college, he attended night classes at the Art Students League.

Graphic design in film

In the 1940s, Bass left New York for California. He worked mostly for advertising until his first major break: a poster for the 1954 film, Carmen Jones. The filmmakers were so impressed by his poster work, they invited him to design the title credits as well. This turned out to be a game changing decision.

Traditionally, credits were static and drab. They were considered so unimportant, they would actually be projected onto the closed curtains which would only open for the first official scene of the movie.

Bass, however, was committed to injecting life into these graphics, making them as much a part of the cinematic experience as anything else. Introducing his signature “kinetic type,” Bass’ letters dashed and moved across the screen and frequently incorporated images other than text.

Titles became a spectacle to be seen. Film reels with Bass credits were delivered to movie theaters along with a note: “projectionist – pull curtain before titles.”

The average lifespan of a Saul Bass logo is a whopping 34 years. Some of his work have yet to be replaced, like the absolutely brilliant designs for Kosé Cosmetics (1959), Kibun (1964), Warner Communications (1972), Girl Scouts (1978, with a slight modification made in 2010) and Geffen Records (1980). With designs as solid, thoughtful and timeless as these, they might never have to be.

I came back with 1500 slides. Saul and I were in a late night meeting discussing what the Continental look meant and what inference we could make for a new Continental logo design as the beginning of a new image program. I remember Saul saying something like, “If this were Western Airlines, we would just make a ‘western’ looking logo complete with an ‘out west look’ reminiscent of cowboy gear.” But this was Continental, an airline known at the time for its high service image.

In 2017 MOMA started a protest against Trump, which actually was very quiet but a powerful show of resistance.

What they did was quietly taken down iconic permanent Western works by artists like Matisse and Picasso, in favor of pieces from those like British-Iraqi painter Zaha Hadid and Sudanese artist Ibrahim el-Salahi — in other words, artists from the countries included under President Trump’s attempts to crack down on immigration.

So if, for instance you walked through the halls of New York City’s Museum of Modern Art, you might not have immediately claimed it as a site of fiery protest.

But thanks to some pointed tweaks to the museum’s most iconic exhibit — the 1880s–1950s collection — that’s exactly what the museum had became.

This was a perfect example of how a museum’s adjustments transformed popular exhibit impossible to ignore the people behind the pieces.]]> 2018-10-04 10:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289040004 veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289040345 Images taken from:

Before I proceed, I'll explain how Kepes stepped in my life.

In my art references, the Bauhaus movement is positioned in a very important step in my art understanding, thus speaking very loud.

So when researching on this act, I came across his name, which soon stood out from many other references - of which I appreciate a lot too, but Kepes maintains its stand as primordial in my taste, because he also acts as a strong determination in my formations when I ponder about my aesthetic concepts - even because the admiration I have for the Bauhaus movement is more about its impact and pioneering in the history of art than in its aesthetics outcomes. I don't think this movement fits into the classic "beautiful", or even "pleasant" (which in my eyes, it is not at all and thing, but if follow my own taste I’ll have to say that the Bauhaus furniture really gets under my skin, it’s beauty is certainly
undeniable and also genius at it’s peak.]]> 2018-10-06 00:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289846740 veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289852091 Changes are not necessarily a synonym for pleasant - as sooner we realise this, sooner we start life letting ourself be moulded in our true self - thus becoming (we hope) our own references.

Note: As discovered during the "Moveable Type" project, I found out that Gyorgy Kepes at some point had acted as teacher at the the Art Students League college, and among his students was the graphic designer and future movie-title innovator Saul Bass.. The evocative title sequences Bass designed for Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” and Stanley Kubrick’s “Spartacus”, (among many other pieces of art) were experienced by millions of moviegoers, I believe being the great reflection on Kepes’s radical influence.]]> 2018-10-06 02:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289852091 veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289852168 So returning to Mr. Kepes, I greatly appreciate his work, being this closeness that I feel with his art very intrinsic in my general taste - as stated above, I believe it descends from the Bauhaus movement, although its art form diverge and escape much of the way Bauhaus (somewhat square and "straight"), and even connecting with another artist that I appreciate very much, Laszlo Moholy Nagy - especially in his work and exploration of photography and the effect of the negative on it, which I also believe to be because both used to be great friends, and consequently experimented a lot together.]]> 2018-10-06 02:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289852168 veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289852492 Kepes was truly a master in the art of light and movement, paying much attention to abstract and surreal works.

By choosing mundane subjects like scraps of newspaper and engine parts as well as stones, leaves, bread and body parts, Kepes focused attention on the unusual effects produced by manipulating the photographic process to create nuances of light, shadow and translucence.]]> 2018-10-06 02:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289852492 László Moholy-Nagy veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289852570 Lucia Moholy, Negative Print -Gelatin Silver Print]]> 2018-10-06 02:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289852570 Gyorgy Kepes veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/289852696 “Hand, ca."

I am amazed how he, as an artist, managed to connect and work with different people, souls, priorities, visions, all of them different from his own - and not in any way disrupting his way of interacting and acting in his life.

I believe that our lack of surprise today when observing artists interacting at work with mathematicians, physicists, designers, and these taking part in the same debates, can be very well as a result to the present of Kepes, who presented us with the courage to go beyond the fear of gathering knowledge.

And as for myself, when I think of applying his practices and learning something from him, I am very keen towards experimenting further with analog camera, and also negative prospects.

Perhaps somewhat closer I’ll be developing my own photo style, and of course he’ll be always remembered as a great influence.

I find very interesting when the artist is willing to display himself in different positions - he confronts himself in a quiet war, with his opponent being the facet that defines what is supposed to characterise him as an artist: his "style".

In other reproductions I find very difficult to identify how the process of creating the image took place - as sometimes its constitution and form doesn't even looks real - but in this case I would risk to say that this was created by displaying the illustration of this eye among many mirrors, which created this very interesting multiple reflection aesthetic.

They were protesting to aim their Black Voting Rights, a very brave historic achievement of the black movement of the 1960's.

I can't stop thinking on how this whole thing is absurd. I mean, voting rights?
The most absurd is that 1965 isn't this far away, at all. I mean, 53 years! Wow.
Is crazy to think we're not that far. I'm so glad they've achieved what they were aiming!

On the 20 of June of 2015, local pastors held hands outside the Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina.

Residents of South Carolina, still shaken by the unthinkable murder of nine African Americans, planned protests across the state Saturday, giving voice to their grief, anger and demands for change.

Protesters were to gather in the capital city of Columbia for a rally against the Confederate battle flag, a potent symbol of racism for many there.

All the information, plus the photographs - especially this one, made me get chills by reading and observing the situation. I can't describe how much I am touched..

Tommie Smith and John Carlos, gold and bronze medalists in the 200-meter run at the 1968 Olympic Games, engage in a victory stand protest against unfair treatment of blacks in the United States. With heads lowered and black-gloved fists raised in the black power salute, they refuse to recognise the American flag and national anthem.

I feel this protest was very powerful, as it took place in a space that had all people reunited in one place (black and white - but mainly white audience), and also had broadcasting TV, which they were obligated to record the whole process live.

Racism is not something you can heal quickly in our society, but slowly, with actions (as for example this one) can and are changing the mould of our society.

Never stop, never forget.

Artist and writer Tomi Ungerer created numerous posters protesting the war in Vietnam, each one more brutal and jarring than the next.

In this first example below, the white arm of America is shown shoving the Statue of Liberty down the throat of a Vietnamese citizen.

Ungerer work implies for me a very direct thus simple aesthetic, which for me comes from his minimal use of figures and a mono lettering, simple and bold - perfectly delivering his message.

Today I went to see his exhibition along Penn’s at IMS Paulista, which was
called "Millôr: Obra Gráfica".

Millor was a brazilian cartunist that became famous by appropriating a strong and sharp humor in his comics, represented from newspapers to magazines.

In his works I observed that he used to rely on expedients such as irony and satire to criticize the power and the dominant forces, and when getting acquainted by his further history, being consequently confronted by censorship.

Owner of a style considered singular, was seen as a pioneering figure in the Brazilian cultural panorama.

Remembering that next week we’ll have a Protest Project, Millor used plenty of humor to create his protest voice, which I enjoyed very much.

Very visual, but also keen.
Hits on the right spots.
I wonder, if he were alive, what he would portrait about our current times..

Observing his broad composition of creations, I observe that this kind of intelligence and wit work is something i’d like to keep in mind when develop an artwork.

Iriving Penn’s usually creates an imesureable percussion on the spectators upon his creations, but this portrait in particular is very interesting for me, as the story behind this image is very unusual.

When Penn arrived at Picasso’s house in the south of France, the artist pretended not to be home. But after Penn’s assistant climbed over the locked gate, Picasso granted the photographer ten minutes. Covering his sweat-shirt with a Spanish cape, Picasso tried to playfully deflect him. Variants of this image show how Penn patiently worked the pose, allowing the artist his costume play while progressively boring in to isolate the riveting gaze of his left eye.

Now I understand why exposing your work in many manners is very important, as it creates the perfect balance of the aesthetic approach, as for the emotional depth (the story behind).

I really enjoy Steinberg work in behalf of my appreciation for what it feels like a constant search for identity, and at the same time himself possessing a strong and remarkable personality and body of work - which I believe is an aspect we should never stop, this thirst of recreating ourselves as much as we can.

Never stop looking, searching for the something.

What I also enjoy very much about his work is how (when working with household items, or items in general) he interact with the object and ambient itself, creating this unique atmosphere and aesthetic of his.

Millôr Fernandes is also known for openly being a great fan of his work, which I believe can be assured when observing both compositions - especially the resemblance between its sharp witty humour.

The first edition of this art magazine is themed around youth. “The ideas built around Youth have always been mystifying. Perhaps it is this precise dizziness, feeling of light-headedness, which youth grants us that attracts us,” the editors of Staple say on their website. With poems, photography, and reporting, there’s something for everyone in this magazine.

Genda is an independent bilingual publication from China, seeking to explore Western and Eastern cultures and the frequent misunderstandings that occur between the two. Genda's first two issues are photograph-heavy, filled with soft and tender illustrations of the East. Despite the overwhelmingly positive reception that the zine has received — as one of the few independent Chinese zines to cross-pollinate the West — being a new zine on the scene is hard. "The worst problem is running out of money," Amedeo Martegani, one of Genda's editors-in-chief says. "Each new issue is a blind challenge."

Flipping through an issue of London-based Sort will leave you feeling dirty, in a good way. That's because the grungy biannual zine's chief concerns appear to be: 1. Smut and 2. Good times. It's the rebel's ultimate middle finger to the glossy perfection of conventional magazines.

Brooklyn-based artist J. Morrison has discovered a way to combine conversations about queer culture with adorable cat pictures. Homocats is a quirky series of zines that places the heads of cats over the chiseled male bodies that are so frequently (and perhaps too frequently) idolized in the gay world. The newest zine in the ever-growing series, Modern Problems, seeks to create some fun out of our tumultuous political climate. Because cats make everything better. Right?

Getting your work featured in a magazine usually takes hard graft or connections. Zines, however, can be great spaces for encouraging and supporting emerging artists and writers. One beautiful example of this is Biracial Bandit, a zine "by and for multiracial individuals." The zine has an open submissions policy, breaking down the door for multiracial people to share their experiences through art, poetry, and storytelling. And the zine's selling price of $5 opens that door even wider, making it an affordable experience for everyone.

Victo Ngai is an American illustrator raised in Hong Kong.

I feel that Victo composes her work with highly detailed and precise pieces, referencing comic book drawings, classic children's book illustrations, the work of Japanese painters, and more, thus creating this broad sense of understanding coming from variate media.

The illustrations created by the artist can be often seen as containing compelling imagery and unique styling.

I really enjoy her work because I get a strong sense of wholeness, being thus cause of different media, scales, colours and imagery choice.

Harry Clarke was an Irish stained-glass artist and book illustrator.

Born in Dublin, he was a leading figure in the Irish Arts and Crafts Movement.

Internationally his name is synonymous with quality craftsmanship and imaginative genius in his stained glass work and illustrations.

His use of deep rich colours, his delicate depiction of beautiful elongated figures with their finely carved features and deep expressive eyes, is indeed magical to behold.

During his short life Harry created over 160 stained glass windows for religious and commercial commissions throughout Ireland and England, and as far a field as the USA and Australia.

Also an illustrator of books for Harrap and Co. in London, Harry illustrated books that show his undoubted genius in the area of graphic art.

My favourite works of him consists most upon his illustration compositions, although there's no doubt about his talent in the creations of stained glass.

The richness in the details are incredible, as the characters he created.

So, when I first thought of this project, this movement came into my mind, and I might be able to use it's objective artworks and it's context of "ready made" when I get to the final project as well, also, this is a very important movement to be aware of during this time, with so much protest and live action of the society. The artworks are also usually a composition of collages and pictures combined with typography, and most of the time it can be a satire. ]]> 2018-11-23 13:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/307264252 The Designer as Producer veranomura https://padlet.com/veranomura/research1/wish/307264425 Ellen Lupton, a very well known designer, wrote this essay published in The Education of a Graphic Designer. The text itself is very informative but as well as a reflective for those who are reading, even though the text has a great content the part that stand out to me were these topics here:
*Language is a raw material.* Enhance students’ verbal literacy, giving them the confidence to work with and as editors, without forcing them to become writers.

*Theory is a practice.*
Foster literacy by integrating the humanities into the studio. Infuse the act of making with the act of thinking.

*Writing is a tool.*
Casual writing experiences encourage students to use writing as a device for “prototyping,” to be employed alongside sketching, diagramming, and other forms of conceptualization.

*Technology is physical.*
Whether the product of our work is printed on paper or emitted from a screen, designers deal with the human, material response to information.

*The medium is on the menu.* Familiarize students with the many ways that information and ideas are disseminated in contemporary life. Give them the tools to find their rightful place in the food chain.

These points will be the starting point of many of my works as an artist by now, I feel like they reflect a point of view that everyone should have before digging into their work, we tend to forget the world around us when we are creating or teaching.
