LECTURE AND READING RESPONSE

The first week of the lecture was introduced by Paul Loh. He touched briefly the course contents for the upcoming weeks. Afterwards, he mentioned representation as the vital aspect of the virtual informa-tion that will be actualised through the medium (representation). Furthermore, we were shown different types of nature pattern and the hidden connection between pattern and art, precisely abstract art.

Regarding the reading, Kandisky’s teaching of drawing was called as analytical drawing. As mentioned in the reading, it was an examination deeply of the structural “relationships among objects”. It consists of three stages which will progressively occur through the processes, which are: simplification, analysis and transformation. Moreover, Kandisky used ‘everyday’ objects, such as: simple furniture, building ma-terials, etc. Commonly the objects were closely put in the group, so that it can form a geometry shape. In addition, he mentioned the arrangement of the objects were important as well. The good arrange-ment sets a clear possible relationship among the objects and avoid confusing set of relationship.

As highlighted in Kandisky’s approach of analytical drawing, the first stage is simplification, turning the complex from into the simple form. Secondly, analysis, by “making clear the tension discovered in the structure” and emphasize the tension by means applying a colour. Thirdly, translation, is the process of converting physical visible pattern into an abstract language.

In the Aranda and Lasch, Tooling (2006) reading, it was introduced the term ‘algorithm’, which means “a series of steps”. It was divided into seven algorithmic techniques: spiraling, packing, weaving, blend-ing, cracking, flocking and tiling.
