REAL LIFE NETWORK
This is an image of my real life network that I explored, it shows the doors I take on the way into university, and the social interactions that take place. The idea from this was taken from the first model, and the hinges it has to use to open up, so I integrated that idea into a door where I interact with this movement, and all the people that use it.
Abstraction - the process of formulating general concepts by abstracting common properties of instances.
In the brief the underlying idea was abstraction, being able to take one object or drawing, or take a piece of it and abstract it, or expand on that idea. Starting from a joint into a model would sound simple enough, but extracting just 1 idea of movement, that the joint makes and turning into a living, breathing model can be a different story.
Starting with the chosen joint, the knee you begin to explore and interpret what the joint does, how it moves, what happens during movement. Then map the data visually, and then using abstraction visually take out a piece of the puzzle and form it into 3d.
The idea behind this was using Santiago Calatrava, a famous Spanish architect, and extracting some basic principals from his designs, and integrating them with some of the basic principals of my draws that were creating during the exploration phase of the joint.
The final outcome and piece which is shown, is a form using planes and is connected using multiple strings or guide wires to lift and rotate the object to show translation and rotation that the joint first expressed. 
"Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is an average of six "steps" away from each person on Earth."

In each degree, I have gone over there blog, and reviewed what has been said then left a comment, then proceeded to view one of there friends blogs then left a comment there, each time moving on, and each time creating a new degree of separation.
Building a Drumkit! - This is a video log (or vLog) of me setting up my drum kit ready for practice, to the tune of Phil Collins - In the air tonight. It doesn't have a direct relation to anything else, but it shows a process I undertake before each practice session.

After browsing a few sites, in class I have found a few sites, other members of the community would find interesting:
depthCORE.com - This site is particularly interesting site where it collaborates with a load of artists to create "packs" on a particular theme, then releases them to the public. This is a new form of art and design integration, and myself have participated in.
deviantart.com - A long lasting and classic site, where thousands of artists come to share and experience other artists works.
thecoolhunter.com - This web blog showcases the latest stuff from the web and around the world, that has been released in design and advertising.
