Course Module - BCOP100 Contexts of Practice Lecture - Lucy Leake
Modernism and the rise of the machine
We are now in the 20th Century
Modernism - Period of time during the 1950' to 60's, celebration of industry and new materials, development and progress, reason, discovery and explanation i.e. why we are here, Museums, Charles Darwin - gives people a flavour of where we are with the world.
Science is a threat to humanity - Seen in art, literature, music, film - as machines, monsters, aliens and other white european protestants (the atomic bomb) - Science has created this thing with humans, they will never be the same again - Short speech 'I have become death, Destroyer of worlds'.
Two theorists for modernism
Zygmunt Baumann - He believes in the theory that we will go out for a specific object or purpose but we will tend to wander off to look/explore different places. Pilgrim and the Nomad.
Jean Baudrillard - No distinction between representation and reality.
Knowledge is sourced from the internet.
Think about how Cyborg you are - The political Cyborg - Roseanne Stone - Hallucination within the media i.e. the internet.
Come up with a story to do with how science is a threat to humanity.
Research - Brief given
Poster Research project
Required to design and make a poster that investigates a particular area of theorists that we have covered through our contexts of practice sessions.
Film Poster
A2 minimum DPI 300 - Upload to the google drive
Research some graphic design - rely on the image to tell the story.
Finally, write up an evaluation which will include a summary to go with the poster, talks about the choices behind the decisions, relate it back to a session that we have done in class. Can perhaps link the poster to the idea of hyperrealism.
