== Kwon-Yuan Pan ==Yuan [''Yu-On''] Pan is For my final I want to do a second year from John Muir College majoring in Media with emphasis in film. He was born project that relates to me on July 20tha personal level, 1990 and grew up in Irvineperhaps, is an experienced shared by many others. I want to address "pressure", Californiaspecifically a general societal pressure to do what is expected of you and only what is expected of you. At times, he now plans I feel like it is tough to switch from third be an individual, as if there is no room or capacity for people to first person narration because I think its easier perform something unexpected, unnecessary, or unorthodox. To address this way. I've been interested in all things visual for want to build an art piece that utilizes air as long as I can recallthe moving mechanical device. As Through a young childfan, air will be blown into a clear container that holds light, wind-responsive objects i.e. feathers or torn paper scraps. The clear container will have three openings, one large one that is host to the fan that blows air into the container itself and two "outlet" holes that let the air back out another end of the container. Which one, my interests were first expressed through of the elementary act two remaining holes, air will escape out of the container will be the variable factor in this project. The two"outlets" will be smaller-dimensional art-making: drawingsized holes that are each individually governed by servo arms that either entirely blocks, partially blocks, or entirely opens the hole. This servo arm will be dictated by the Arduino and most likely controlled at the random will of Processing. At different times, each of the two holes will be obstructed or unobstructed by the robotic arms that control its air flow. HoweverWhen a hole is covered less, as I grew up I came to discover many more creative outlets air will be directed to explore my visual interests; from elementary school to high schoolescape through its passage way, I went through several different (and constantly changing) phases of drawingthus the wind-responsive objects, painting, designing, craftingsay feathers, will all animate in the direction of the air flow and assembling subjects thus gather towards the more-open of the two outlet holes (these objects will be big enough so that they don't actually fit through the outlet holes and objects escape out of all sortsthe container). By The overall visual effect of this project is that the viewer will see the time I was 16feathers get blown around inside the clear container, crowding around whichever hole is providing the most airflow. Basically the floating objects in this project will always be going with a certain "flow" that is declared at random by Processing. Aside from the visual elements of the project I was severely confused as to what exactly my also ''professional interesthope'' was to beprovide audio by making use of the air escaping from either of the two outlet holes... and then along came I am thinking of doing this by attaching a wind-instrument (such as a camera. Not long after I started whistle) to play the outlet holes (or shape the outlet holes in a way so that they whistle when wind passes through them) so that with photographyeach varying degree of air coming out of the outlet hole, I developed a passion for combining images and different note of a different intensity will be played. Thus the project will also project an equally random sound over time (video). Since then I have stuck that is synchronized with film as my expressive medium the random movement of choice; however my past obsessions for drawingthe feathers/painting, designing, crafting/assembling--objects being animated inside the container. Hopefully the conceiving an idea and very hands-on act overall effect of carrying it out and bringing it to reality--still very much remains in me. Thus, although my primary interests this will give off the illusion that the feathers/objects are in film, I do intend ''responding'' to incorporate the designer/craftsman side call of the whistles; whichever of me into my video work. Howeverthe two whistling outlets is being blown the hardest, throughout my childhood explorations the feathers will follow! I never really ventured into the realm of electronics--am a realm of boundless potential bit worried that I feel will have trouble making the whistling happen, so I can not go on any longer without exploring. I hold a lot of excitement for this class and familiarizing myself with electronics because I believe it will broaden my creative abilities and possibilities in turning ideas might look into reality; and this in turn will broaden my capabilities and capacity in filmmakingsome other sound alternative.Visuals coming soon!
