Y1U1 Methods of Contextualising

Collaborative Group Projects

Week 1

Initially, we discussed the possibilities of using these tools: 

Among them, we found that ice has both the following properties:​

1. Rich visual potential;​

2. Temporality or cyclical nature;​

3. Association with climate issues.

Finally, the tool we chose is ice. ​
These characteristics are integrated into one process:

Based on this process, we started to “identify”: ​

How to use ice as a tool that measures cycle/time to present climate issues?

My Part (visual experiments)

Q:How about a method to visualise the process of ice measuring time?​

A:Ice dye

Ice dyeing experiment 1
Ice dyeing experiment 2
Ice dyeing experiment 3
Ice Dyeing Experiment 3 – Reverse Time

Q:What are the possibilities for the next steps in the development of the experiment?

A:Is it possible to print a calendar on fabric? Or a time grid? Or a map?​ Does it have some meaning in terms of colour? For example, what region or data is represented?​ Is it possible to print invisible ink so that when the water melts, the information is made visible?​ …….
