Elements of 4D_ Aynsley Haugk

4D ELEMENT: time

This article focused on the element of time. Time is defined as the 4th dimension. The article explains that time is the span of the present, past, and future. Time can be controlled, limited, and measured. Measured time is the counting of time some examples from the article include minutes, seasons, or years. Experienced time is the acknowledgement of a time in passing.

I like this image because it shows a representation of both measured and experienced time. This piece makes me feel like the old person is remembering their experienced time. 

4D ELEMENT: sound

In this article, the author introduced the element of sound as a vibration that can be heard through your ears. Sound is a tool used in communication, music, language, nature, etc. Sound can also be used to alert you of your surroundings, for example, a waterfall makes a loud noise as you get closer and closer hinting that you should be aware of the large body of water. 

In the article, the author emphasises the 5 categories of sounds, synchronous, nonsynchronous, asynchronous, diegetic, and non-diegetic. Synchronous is when you are in a time-based performance space like a play or a TV show. Nonsynchronous is when you hear a sound onscreen but you can not see where it is coming from, or at least not yet. Asynchronous sound is when the sound we hear doesn't match what we see, for example, kid snippets use kids' voices and sincs it over the adults so it looks like they speak like a child. Diegetic sound is sound created by the environment of the work. For example, a sound when a girl is walking in a field on a TV show. Non-diegetic sound is created outside of the environment of the work and is usually commentary or giving information, for example, narration.

This piece was created by the artist, Dmitry Morozov. This piece collected data from the shocks in the earth's crust, known as earthquakes. The data is then converted into signals on the drums and portrays the sounds of all the earthquakes that occur daily. 

4D ELEMENT: movement

In this article, movement is introduced as a change or shift in the location of a light, object, or sound. Shape, space, weight, and balance are all incorporated into movement. Movement is a great way to emphasize an object or action. In this article, the author explained Succsessional Movement and Oppositional Movement. Successional movement is a movement that leads the viewer's attention in one direction whereas oppositional movement is a clash of contrasting movements that leads the viewer's attention in multiple directions. 

A great example of movement in an artwork is The Great Wave off Kanagawa. This piece is a very famous ukiyo-e artwork made out of a woodblock print by the artist Katsushika Hokusai. This artwork is an example of successional movement because the motion is guiding the viewer's eye in one direction. The viewer's eye begins at the bottom of the wave and travels up the length of the wave until reaching the white cap at the very top. Although there are multiple waves visible in the artwork, they are all moving your eye in the same direction throughout the entire piece.
