Kristie's interpretation of this reading led her to create a series of drawings based on procedural notes she took in one of her jewellery courses. It is not so much based on a specific part of the reading, but on the idea of algorithm being a formula/ set of instructions for a specific result, though Golan Levin can be used as a source example.
Major: Jewellery and Metal
Medium: Drawings on frosted mylar, class notes
Kristie's interpretation of this reading led her to create a series of drawings based on procedural notes she took in one of her jewellery courses. It is not so much based on a specific part of the reading, but on the idea of algorithm being a formula/ set of instructions for a specific result, though Golan Levin can be used as a source example.
Kristie found Golan Levin's work inspiring for the creation of this project through his use of process to create a process.
Her drawings were interesting as they depicted visual step-by-step instructions as to how to construct an item of jewellery (or technically a type of clasp). It is a form of visual language, and while someone with the knowledge of how to interpret the drawings and how to create the object might understand what the images represent, someone without that knowledge will lack the ability to interpret the drawings as a set of instructions. This use of skill based 'jargon' (in this case, related to the field of metal working) creates somewhat of a visual language barrier.
Either way, I found Kristie's depiction of an algorithm interesting as it is a visual representation of an algorithm, or a set of instructions put into pictures (kind of like an Ikea instruction manual).
My challenge for her would be for her to create larger versions of the instructions, either detailing as many small process details as possible or showing the construction of all the parts in a specific piece of jewellery (ie. how do you construct the chain? how do you construct the pendant? how do you construct the clasp?)
