Tag Archives: Spatial montage

Out of all our pages in the HTML essay/website, I believe our brain page is one I am most proud of. This is because the idea that was in my mind came out exactly the way I wanted it to be. And trust me, it was easy! I believe the reason why I found it so easy was because I got used to doing what we had been doing the past weeks. The softwares we used for this were the same ones: [...]


Finally, our technology page is completed! Everything seems to be getting done faster and faster! The starting is always the hardest. But, thank my lucky stars, we are getting there! We’re getting used to designing, creating text and most importantly HTML-ing. For our technology page, we decided on using post-its and an iPhone. We did this because spatial montage is all about consuming and processing multiple images at once from an image, a landscape and more. It is about having more [...]


Today, Joseph and I worked on our first draft for our HTML essay. Instead of drawing like the last time, we just made notes of the pages we plan to make for our HTML essay. Here are the pages: Home/Front Page City Street Cinema Comics Video Games Technology The Brain: processing The Brain: Attention Span How do you process this? The Future: landscape (clicks to build the landscape) Background on Manovich I think we had some pretty cool ideas as [...]


After finishing off my previous post on Wall Visualisation and the whole idea of Spatial Montage (just scroll down to the next post to see it!), I started preparing for dinner. My brother wanted steak and I decided to Google some nice fancy recipes for steaks This was the steak I cooked today:   PS: this is NOT my picture. It’s the website/blog I got it from! (but it really does look like the same thing once I finished. Except [...]


In tute yesterday, Seth got us all to do something he calls ‘Wall Visualisation’. He handed out post it notes of all sorts of colours and got us into our teams. He then asked us to think about our next assessment, the HTML essay or website, and start planning and organising the structure and content. So, Joseph and I got together (too bad Marcin wasn’t here today :\). & here’s what we came out with! (Click on their names to [...]


Traditional film and video technology were once designed to only possess a complete, full and single image on screen. However, filmmakers stepped out of the box, or ‘work ‘against’ the  technology, exploring spatial montage. Spatial Montage involves more than one image on a screen. These images can potentially differ in sizes and proportions. It is somewhat like a montage. “Time becomes spatialized, distributed over the surface of the screen.” (Manovich, L 2001, p.272) In lecture last week, Seth also brought [...]


For our hypertext essay, my group and I decided to work on number three; Lev Manovich’s Cinematic and Graphic: Cinematography “The Language of the New Media”. Here is the description about it and some additional questions I added: This new cinematic aesthetics of density seems to be highly appropriate for our age. If we are surrounded by highly dense information surfaces, from city streets to Web pages, it is appropriate to expect from cinema a similar logic. *What do they [...]
