Nick Verstand's "Aura"




                                   Audiovisual installation transforms emotions into beams of light                                                                                                       Nick Verstand, Aura


Aura is an exploration of light as a medium. The installation explores how the visual perception of emotions influences the understanding of the self as well as others - fostering meaningful interactions.


I think this installation was such a powerful way of getting participants to interact and respond to their emotions without having to say a word. A lot of today's interaction as been reduced to social media. Even though it is still an outlet that fosters expression, social media has been crippling our ability to properly convey emotion through face-to-face human interactions. Aura fosters emotional confrontation that creates a self awareness we can share with others.

This work was eyeopening to the possibilities of exploring emotion through various media.

PROGRESS!!

  My first piece! 😄    REFLECTION: I am super excited! I was stuck in my head trying to figure out what to do. I have been in such a space of not creating anything for so long that trying to get back in my creative space has been hard. I don't know if it has been due to lack of inspiration or just genuinely being tired that has been the hold up but lets hope I can keep up the momentum!

Blog Post 4

    We nailed down a rough draft idea for our poster design for our DC GIVES BACK  events. We have two events for this campaign-Auction house, and parade. I am responsible for making revisions to our designs and visuals. Today was also a in  house strategy day we reached out to business for sponsorships, inquired about doing their ads, and looked into potential venues to house our events.
