Final Project Part1
Based on Assignment 2, we had to choose 1 of our ideas to be develop into an interactive application. I had decided to use the second idea, "Reach For Your Dreams". The layout design for the page is the same as in assignment 2.
The topic of my final project is Quotes.

Evaluation criteria:
- Overall interactive application concept: 15%
- Creativity, idea development and sketches of ideas: 20%
- Concept Artworks: 5%
Submission Format:
01 One A4 printed concept board mounted on foam board (Your name, id, artwork description printed at the back).
02 A4 Sketches (landscape format): Please compile all your assignments sketches and idea developments (01, 02 + final project)
03 CDROM:
- An Interactive application (.exe file)
- Digital copy of ALL working files for all assignments and project.

Assignment 2- Redo
After some comments from Mr. Bad, I have to use my own pictures in the artwork. I decided to use the pictures that I taken when I was in Kuala Lumpur and Cameron Highlands for my past assignments.

Project Brief 1
Name: Melody Yeow Yee Kheng
ID: 1102700962
Artwork Title: What will you do?
Artist Statement: Through Dante Leonelli’s works on neon colour, I develop a screen-based design which uses these bright colours to represent the concept of air pollution levels. The colours determine the levels from Good to Critical. We are the ones who built this country to how it is now. If we just develop it disregard of the consequences that might happen, then we will be drown in the less better future. We develop to maintain a healthy place to live in.
Artwork Treatment: Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

Project Brief 2
Name: Melody Yeow Yee Kheng
ID: 1102700962
Artwork Title: Reach for your dreams.
Artist Statement: This artwork is based on Ken Rinaldo’s concept of intersection between nature and technology. Both can react to achieve something beyond unbelievable. I made a screen-based design which shows the nature (butterfly) which intersect itself to technology (the weird things attach to it). I want to show that no matter what we do, we must not give up. Even it is almost impossible but someday you will achieve something in life.
Artwork Treatment: Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

Artwork Title: Reach for your dreams.
Artist Statement: This artwork is based on Ken Rinaldo’s concept of intersection between nature and technology. Both can react to achieve something beyond unbelievable. I made a screen-based design which shows the nature (eagle) which intersect itself to technology (the wired wings). I want to show that no matter what we do, we must not give up. Even it is almost impossible but someday you will achieve something in life. The eagle is a symbol of freedom. Eventhough it is bound to heavy wired wings, but if it does not give up it will fly further to where it is heading.

Assignment 2- Research
After many research on various digital multimedia artist, I had confirm the 2 artist which i will use for this assignment.
The first digital multimedia artist I had chosen is Dante Leonelli. He is a pioneer of kinetic light sculpture. He had been working on various project since the 60s like the Neon Ice Bridge, and many more proposals which are not accepted due to particular reasons. Recently, he has proposed the Eco Halos, which monitor and reflect changing level of environmental traffic and air pollution. It is a collaborated project with many others to succeed in this project. Most of his projects are related to neon light and argon gas.
I specifically choose his work, the "Eco Halos" to be used as reference for my artwork. I will apply his concept on environmental traffic and air pollution and also the neon colours and make my own artwork from it.
Green = Good
Blue = Ok
Red = Bad
Flashing Red = Critical
The second digital multimedia artist I had chosen is Ken Rinaldo. He creates interactive art installations that explore the intersection between nature and technology. His works involves with ecological issues which often overlooked in favour of technological progress. Rinaldo is concerned with an idealized melding or an intersection that he believes is possible between natural and technological systems. He often asserts that integration of the natural and non-organic electro-mechanical elements are part of an important and very natural confluence and co-evolution that is necessary between living and our evolving technological material. His art works are influenced and evolve with research into living systems theory, artificial life and the current technologies we use to model and express mimesis through our current understanding of natural living systems.
For my artwork based on Ken Rinaldo's works, I will apply the concept of intersection between nature and technology. In addition, I will use neon colour because most of his works involves sensors and lights.

Assignment 2- Research
I begin to research on related informations regarding digital multimedia artist. However, I could not find a specific one so I research a little on interactive arts and new media art.
Both are installation-based art using multiple types of digital equipment. It involves the art form in a more technological way like computer graphics, animation, virtual art and many more.
It is a challenge where new media artist preserve their works at the same time interacts with the viewers in conveying what the artist have to say on a particular topic. Most of these installation arts are based on sensors like infrared, motion, heat and many more. The main thing is the installations are combined with different medias which includes either these elements; sound, images, text, videos and animation.
It is the interaction between the artist and his artworks and the viewers. The artist is not always at the scene to explain his artwork. Therefore, the ability of his artworks is the main medium in conveying what he has to say. Viewers are the ones who would interpret it whether they get the meaning of the artwork or not.
Since my artwork now is based on screen-based design, we have to take the elements for screen-based design and adapt it with the philosophy of the two artists' works and make our own artwork as reference to them.
