Jared, Mike Smith and another teacher organised a trip to the Wellcome Collection Museam in London. The trip was to broaden our horizons a little and to have a look at some of the historical and modern sculptures, paintings, antiques and furnitures that were on display.
While we were looking around, we did find some interesting stuff that could be used as potential refrence and research. Here are some camera pics that i took from the trip!
These glass objects above were interesting because of their dynamic shape and i thought they might be useful for the construction of our cityscape and buildings.
The Barber DNA sign, which is the pic with the twirly light, was an interesting object. The 2nd pic below is the description of the piece and what inspired it. Reading it made the object even more compelling. It was inspired by surgeons in the middle ages where they would use towels that were soaked in blood from an operation and later wrap it round a pole outside to advertise their practice. Now in modern times that object or symbol would be associated with a DNA symbol or a barber shop sign. Its funny how things get inspired and influenced from the most bizarre of situations and eras. It was inspiring nevertheless, as it goes to show that you shouldn't limit yourself to what you should be influenced by, and that is something i want to use when i approach my researching for refrence.
The other 2 images are from a tech based piece called Mass Spectrometer. I liked the retro look of it and how it was technology based. Plus all the wires and nuts and screws were detail that made me think about our Sci Fi environments and whether we should make it more simple or detailed texture and modelling wise when it comes to Maya.
When i was there i also recorded some video footage showing other interesting pieces of sculptures and antiques.
