Feedback from Emily

Follow your intuition
Consider scale?
Single tree- architectural motif
Colonnade- outside is impenetrable
Adam and Eve
Decomposition of nature
History to draw on as a material

Feedback From Sue

Check out Olafur Eliason’s ‘Scent Tunnel’ project- consider plants which smell at night time (play on with light to darkness transformation)
Relationship to moon- research silver plants
Colour grading beautiful moments
Consider colour choice, materials and how they change or weather over time
The moon gate are views to look up
Simple and pure geometry (idealized geometry and contrast of patchwork site)
Think carefully about what aperture is changing
Tree or series of trees- spherical element, experiment with how its grounded, and if its temporary and potted
Opening of Imperial Lane is 2.5m- be mindful of circulation paths
Dip in the lane- sinking of the earth (stone and timber), intertidal zone (high tide – low tide and gravitational pull o moon’s force) could put markers of this in the site.
Could make it a participatory project– Park Team of Auckland Council and sculptural compost of decay (dead leaves around parks of Auckland to contribute to site.

Colour grading– Colour grading is the process of improving the appearance of an image for presentation in different environments on different devices. Various attributes of an image such as contrast, colour, saturation, detail, black level, and white point may be enhanced whether for motion pictures, videos, or still images.

Aperture- In optics, an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. More specifically, the aperture and focal length of an optical system determine the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane. An optical system typically has many openings or structures that limit the ray bundles.

Dufttunnel, 2004 – Olafur Eliason

A site-specific work located in Wolfsburg, Germany, Dufttunnel is made up of 2,160 potted plants, arranged in three tubular sections that revolve at different speeds. Visitors walk through the tunnel on a steel grating while the plants rotate slowly around them. Depending on the season, one of six types of plants are used.

Forming a bridge across the little waterway between the Audi and Lamborghini Pavilions, the tunnel is both space and sculpture, a metaphor for mobility and immobility, for movement and a rootedness within the park. In spring and summer the scent of flowering plants invites visitors to be part of a unique combination of art, nature and technology as the gently-rotating tube revolves slowly on its longitudinal axis. At the beginning of the season 2160 densely planted flower pots filled with wallflowers revolve around the visitor enfolding them in their scent. Then come tufted violets, vanilla and lavender.

The Scent Tunnel is a holistic sensory experience: from smell and sight to the experience of the moving space. We are faced with a new view of the world and consequently the way we perceive things is questioned. In the artist’s words: “if contrary to everything we are used to we have to enter a rotating object to experience it fully, we become that artwork’s co-producer”.
