Circles is the final outcome after experimenting with many compilations of images, sounds and places. This audiovisual take you to the place from a new point of view.  It lets you to feel the original site from a new way that you have not experienced before. 

Circles becomes a way to feel the place. It becomes an experience that can be shared, individual or collective. Circles is an amount of sensations which bring you in the original area.  

RETHINK

After all the process done, we can see that in this project I render the “real” SPACE through the feelings and emotions using images in MOTION in order to share with others using internet or projections as the MEDIA.

Media: The means of communication that reach a large number of people.

Space: Area or interval of distance between to points, objects or events.

Motion: Capacity of movement. 

Mapping my view

To organize  the work I've located the most parts of the images recorded in this map, this way I can show the reality I've got from the site.

WHY

Media: The means of comunication that reach a large number of people.

Space: Area or interval of distance between to points, objects or events.

Motion: Capacity of movement.


___________________________________________


In this project I (re)create the site throw the feelings and the sensations flowering from the original space; Portobello Rd, Ladbroke Grove Station, Notting Hill Gate... The videos or the moving images, are the instrument that lend me to realize this proces of captation/observation and then share the sensations recorded. Moreover, we have to have in mind, that the images and sounds are token from subjective way since the moment I have chossen the vista, the moment, the time, or the specificatiosn of my gravations. And even after the effects that modify drastycly but in a lighty way the videos.

In adition, I found interesting using Internet as a media in order to share this work/experiences. This it means that an important way to access to the project it would be online, specifically throw a world recognized tool as it is Google Maps. This a tool is known and used diary for a lot of people from all over the world from diferents deivices like smarthphones or cumputers. From them, the other people could join this experiences and even participate in the project locating their works in the map.

(re) create

Based on image and sound: Media + Motion + Space.

TYPES OF CONTENT images

• Observation giving importance to specific vista.
• Revelations feeling a site throw a filtre
• Site Test distorting the space in order to see the reality from a new perspective.

HOW TO PASS FROM 2D to 3D (SPACE/outcome)

• Hidding something in order to make people to pay attention and focus on that.
• Observing the space/reality from a new point of view; time/space/subject.

OUTCOME?

• IN CONTEXT -> showing -> augmented reality. 

 Individual/Shared: via URL/QR code placed on the frames located in the site.

• OUT CONTEXT -> hidding -> (re)create the reality/space.

  Collective: Feeling the space throw masive projections.

• NEW CONTEXT -> discovering -> augmented reality (re)creating the space.

  Individual/Shared: throw the world known tool Google Maps.

  

(re)ality: b(re)aked + (re)created

Reset

After weeks of knowing Notting Hill, visiting the place, walking there, taking pictures, learning about it, observing the same place in differents days, different time and from different points of view.

After annalyzing and trying to do different things with what I had got, I realized that I was in a cul-de-sac. Blocked because I didn't know what to do with all that. For this reason I stopped and observed all this from outside to relocate me to know where I am going to go. I again raised some main points.

HIPOTESIS

• What is space?
• Spaces are not just spaces. Spaces affect people emotions.
• Pictures, sounds and words about Portobello are not Portobello. They are just pictures, sounds and words. Is that the meaning of the place?
• Is a place an amount of relationships between people, spaces, actions, time, senses? 
• Are feelings of people about Portobello real? If it yes, why don't try to recreate an space wich can  produce the same feelings/experience as the original one? Is that a moore accurated way to represnet a space? 
• Find out if it's possible to recreate a specific Space without the Space itself. No need Portobello site to show what Portobello is. 
• Can we get a diferent space from fitting the crumbled pieces of an original space?

WHAT

Showing an space from a non conventional way,  but trying to be more accurate. Show Portobello through the senses, feelings, thoughts, emotions...

WHO

To everyone that want to experimentate/know the feeling of being at Portobello area.

To establish a method that lend to reprenent places.

HOW process

• Analyzing the site:

• Taking pictures.
• Recording sounds.
• Interact with people.

• Organising the research.
• Main spaces:
• The sides of M40
• Prtobello road
• Notting Hill's residencial streets
• Indoor Spaces (bar, stations, shops)
• Shaping the elements I get.
• Crumbling the place and recompose it again (no necessary keeping the same structure, same size, same shape...) Not just copying it exactly how it is, but recreating it.

HOW method

Always knowing that Portobello is Portobello; the aim of this project is trying to find a way to represent and show that space/experience by the time it's studied, observed, analized... How making people to have a similar experience as someone can feel in the original space.
Is that possible by creating an ennviorment with succesive sounds, images, textures, paths?

Breaking the "reality" to (re)construct a new space. 

Process: a series of actions or steps towards achieving a particular end.

Method: a particular form of procedure for accomplishing or approaching something. 

Reset notes

This is not a train

René Magritte "Ceci n'est pas une pipe", 1929

What is space? Pictures, sounds and words about Portobello are not Portobello. They are just pictures, sounds and words. 

What is space? Is not just a place to fill with furniture and people. Is a place an amount of relationships between people, spaces, actions, time, senses? 

Text III: "Imatges and their fixed durations"

"Cinema has an interior rhythm, that of the image and an exterior rhythm, between the images; that means they are created by the order of successions of the imatges and their fixed durations."

Part III. "Théorie de cinéma". Moussinac

Text

"The film is very much like a moving drawing. One motif follows another, each presented with the diagrammatic clarity of blackboard drawing all arranged along a diagonal axis."
