Fold #1

Fold #1 explores the relationship between drawings in the material and immaterial world. The narrative driver to the work is the topological mapping of landscape combined with the performative context of making (of being in the space) in the landscape. It demonstrates a motion capture rendering system developed at the Centre for Creative Design Practice (UTS). Fold #1 explores the movement of the artist in the process of drawing that is then rendered into folds and membranes of light and then back into drawing. In so doing the artist further explores the intersection between the physical embodiment of being and the "fold" expressed by Michel Serres. Here, folding back is an organic process further explored through the mediation of spatiotemporal structures recorded and manipulated through a motion capture system. Thereby allowing the artist to reflect on the three-dimensional form created and further explores the metaphorical, physical, symbolic and emotive structures of a drawing. Fold #1 continues work previously developed as a core member of the Creative and Cognition Studio (UTS) that extends his understanding of "disturbance" as a practice of intervention - the act of creating tension within the work, i.e. the stillness and disturbance within, the stillness and disturbance felt, seen, other, and or mediated etc. Fold #1 consists of four renderings; a pre-immaterial (material) rendering, a material rendering in two parts, and a post-immaterial (material) rendering.
