Here I'll be introducing you to one of my Storytelling project: A 24hrs of self expression! Where I'll take you through a day in my life! I'm sure many of you might think what a boring session, for which, I'll stop you righter and say, "It is also an interactive experience wher you audience will be provided with an option to ask me anything based on what you are being presented and I'll continue the doing what I'm while addressing all the queries!
This will happen during regular intervals where I'll spend most of the the time presenting the solution or articulate my understanding! Strictly avoiding discussions!! For which you have to synthesis your question in a single go as you wont get another turn to ask! But can always share your thoughts via our team, I'll personally go through all of your thoughts and address them as it helps me with my own user research and target audience, so that I can focus on prioritizing few time covering the area of interests, for the next sessions!
No wonder, I can't give 24hrs of my complete attention to a single thing! Expecting 24 hrs of audience needs a good amount of research and justificication! Fortunately, I'm a multi disciplianary Artist, Designer, UX researcher, Innovator, writier, storyteller and teacher! Proclaiming myself as a polymath, I surely can present to you my proficiency in various area at utmost appreciated level, while simultaneously trying to share methods and systems, few tips for you to practice. So, you are provided with papers and sketchbooks prior to notedown or sketch with me or ideate during our session!
There will be real time polling sessions! My team will take care of documenting and collecting real time data and we'll be publishing additional information and queries with other research outcome that may come up during performance in the form of beautiful graphics and data visualizations. This entire experience and interaction is as much important to me as it is for you!
I'm have been structuring an ambitious roadmap of mastering a minumum of 8 fields in 8 years by 2030( +/- an year), you can check the full details of this 8 years project plan in the section: Project 8 ( Here 1: https://www.navartstudios.com/masters-application-2024 )
So, consider myself introducing you, to most of the projects I'll have been working on daily basis, that involve a together understanding of 8 fields. So, it will be for sure the best things you learned from a stranger on daily basis so I want you to consider this entire session as an theatric experience because I would be focusing on storytelling to make it joyful but also help you immerse into the context rather than my words.
I might wonder you for my list of practices as well as proficiency! (You can check the list below : ..............)
This is how I'm envisioning the my dream fictional architecture space design of the theatre, that can help you immerse more deeply into my or any other solo performance arts!
Consider yourself sitting in the crowd on the floor facing facing towards me. If you look around, you'll clearly understand that I'm the center of attraction, all eyes are strictly looking at me.
In order to create an more efficient immersive experience, the auditorium is designed in such away that, it seems like an infinite dark space and yet audience should clearly feom the last 100th row. So this is how I started designing! using light and reflectors to create this visual magnificient architecture design for immersive stage play!
There are 3 group of audiences who experience the play! The nearest audience who sit to the storyteller, can see him clearly, can hear his direct speech and the small gestures or souds he create while telling the story! The middle and the farthest!
I'm the only one standing in the center and I have complete attention from all directions equally! and I will do my daily chores, eat, cook, work, sketch, sing, dance and practice etc while aware of your eyes on me!
An active time for humans to work conciously is 12-16hrs after which, slowly our mind tends to overload with un articulated information and we can feel stressed sensation from inside our head, inbetween back of your eyes. So we tend to sleep for 6-8-10hrs hrs for a healthy living. 24hrs is an exaggeration but you'll be suprised when you know what I think all these time!
I also wanted to make this experience even more concentrated so I added mirrors on the ceiling so that people can even lean back, look up and see what he's trying to do! The ceiling is a parametric design that can help you percieve the interior space differently and the parameters can be controlled by me during performance so that I can put you through the visually embracing spatial experiences when I need to!
This costed me to design a new lighting system for theatre session as I cannot place any focusing light sources in the ceiling as it put strain on audience if watched for a longer period of time. The cieling has to look like it is made out of 1 single solid sheet and yet be as fluid as possible for the paramteric animation using computational design. (Will introduce the material properties of ceiling in the documentation section.)
Now where does the light source comes from? if I can't using ceiling and cover the whole ceiling and complete close the auditorium? I just flipped our entire visual experiencee, where light emits from the floor, hit the mirror on the cieling, reflects back and creates an ambient light.
One of the computational design of the ceilieng created magnified effect visually playing with your sense of space & height by manipulating with your visual experiece in such concentric dark environment.
All of you will be seated on the ground so that you have I get elevated as well as see the vaious relfections of me performing through the mirror in the background. This visually concentrated forced experience helps your focus subconciously directed towards the perfomer.
This setup is highly effective for any solo- self expressive performances that heavely depends on auditory, facial and bodily gesture based expression. For this to attain the performer him/her-self need to maintan a performance satisfying the audience from all angles using various communication meediums and their methods.
But, my day works differently from your everyday! The amount at which I process, experience or understand is being increasing. I have been working day and night since 2022 to finish it by 2020 day & night, trying to understand mind body and behaviour so that I can influence my work more and more so that I can finish this 8 book on time!
The project 8 series
(I call it 'cognitive dilation' which states that every person has a different level of proficiency in processing our experiences and based on the amount of understanding we have on our...)
(Where from the time to till I sleep, during both my temporal or dream states, I have something to do and work accordingly. Just during REM state, I still couldn't understand 'how our subconcious try to influence our conciousness during our complete unconciouss state?'! Some refers REM state to a healthy good sleep!)
Here are few things you'll surely get to see me doing in real time in this 24 hrs session:
Visual arts: I'm highly proficient in penmenship. I'll create a large mural while sharing you my thoughts and thought process. I'm highly inspired from @Kinjunggi work style and you'll find me personify 'Jung gi' for a certain timeperiod.
Cognitive design and psychology: You'll find me mimicing certain personalities, characteristics, singing or dancing based on how comfortable I feel during the discussions as I will be introducing you to a few of my daily practices that helps me enhance my focus, cognition and work experience! Where I explain you how sound/music, visuals and colours, smell/ scent and various touch sensations can influence our body and how can this understanding can lead you for better well being and enhance your relationship with others. You'll find me singing, giving you some dance tips, and bits on home decor.
Designing for blind: This is one passion project I'll surely touch upon where I'm designing game and immersive experience guidelines
Storytelling: I have been ideating on a list of various storytelling styles that includes Film making and cinematography, Animation, Spatio audio-visual experiences, Immersive game design and interactive experiences etc.,
