According to the manifesto for artists and designers, the role of process refers to “the product”, which leads to the “formations” and”unexpected but correlative, emergent patterns”. According to Jules Estèves, the product is not a “drawing” but a “concerted activity of making” of the participants (1). In addition,” even though a process has the appearance of objectivity, we realize the fact that it stems from subjective intentions”. From my own perspective, “process” is a figurative embodiment of change and adaptation. As the manifesto states, with the development of media technology, artists want to adopt a new way of working to “adapt to their environment, emphasize change, and show the difference”. Thus, the process is a product of collective collaboration and creation at the same time, which also reflects difference and change.
Of course, these artists have some differences from the designs I have created in the past. First of all, the first difference is “participation”. The drawings I created were designed and finished by me alone, but the concept of participation or collaboration is mentioned in both the Vitruvian Paint Machine and the small workshop mentioned by Jules Estèves. The concept of participation or collaboration is mentioned in both the Vitruvian Paint Machine and the small workshop mentioned by Jules Estèves. As a result, such an art form enhances the versatility of the final artistic effect, and therefore the final result is uncontrollable for the artist, but for my previous design, the final result is completely controllable, and this unknowability is the first difference.
Secondly, I would like to talk about the second difference, which I combine with the first question “What do we learn about the process of the designers and the artist discussed in the text? When I read these articles, the “rules” are very curious to me, because I don’t seem to specify some rules in the process of self-creation, maybe the only thing I follow is my own aesthetic taste. But in this Vitruvian Paint Machine piece, there are many interesting color rules, such as different choices for different shapes and painting styles. It’s interesting, it’s limiting without completely restricting the artist’s work, it makes the work a series of pattern arrangements, and I think this reflects the concept of “conditional”, where the work doesn’t become completely free and uncontrollable but has a hidden logic behind it.
A Small Design
In the end, I designed a conditional drawing
Rules
color rules: participants should obey the color rules
each participant should choose a color (Blue, Red, Black)
Black: you should draw a circle
Red: you should draw a triangle
Blue: you should draw a rectangle
General Rule:
Participants must draw the graph from the inside out and each person can draw only three patterns
Number Rule:
If you have only one participant, use the red one first
If you have only two participants, use the black one first
If you have three or more participants, use the blue one
a few outcomes (visitors can also send me your own outcomes)
