BB7 Assignment

I'm still struggling finding the best way to post this images and diagrams, this is my 3rd attempt to post my work in progress..
So often when I upload pictures does anyone have any suggestion of how big the drawing file should be, and the layout type, etc...
Order is an illusion



The screen shot that I took this time is the workout room. The placement of mirror, and floor grid patterns are used here creating illusion that the room is bigger than the actual size.



By inverting the original screen shot showing me the depth of the image. By outlining the grid, and the verticality of the object identify the illusion of the whole order.



New lines and colors are assigned to enable me to create the unconscious possibility of the new perspective view.






For the last diagram, I conduct a new experiment by superimposed 2 screen shots that shares similar characteristic.



I view the last diagram perspective point, not from a single and precise point of view. Instead looking upon things everywhere and nowhere at the same time, nor linked to places. This notion shares the same idea with the "Theory of Relativity"
wikipedia explain :"General relativity was developed by Einstein in the years 1907 - 1915. General relativity replaces the global Lorentz symmetry of special relativity with a local Lorentz symmetry in the presence of matter. The presence of matter "curves" spacetime, and this curvature affects the path of free particles (and even the path of light). General relativity uses the mathematics of differential geometry and tensors in order to describe gravitation as an effect of the geometry of spacetime. This theory is based on the general principle of relativity, which requires all observers to experience the same laws of physics, not just those moving with uniform speed, hence its name."

It is extremely difficult to work with the layout of this blogger. Posting photos seems to cause the most trouble, and your preview button shows it one way and it looks different when you publish it. Luckily, once you post, you can always edit the post. Mine is still in the works too. I think Thomas has a good idea to use the right column also.

Your diagrams of the (endless) workout room remind me of TRON.

The striking thing about the screen shot is that the forced one-point perspective that you allude to in your diagrams seems much less present than the "sideways extension" of the space created by opposing mirrors. It seems as though this is not a single/clean/rectilinear room, but rather a room composed of a series of parallel (and staggered) walls.

Again, the initial diagram is an interesting first "observation" and I very much appreciate the fact that you are doing the diagrams in "sets" rather than a single screen shot yielding a single perspective, ... but the more "layers" you add the more "forced" or "arbitrary" the diagram becomes (i.e. superimposing screenshots to create a hybrid).

What might have been a more interesting approach would have been to select two adjacent rooms or areas, create perspective sets for both and then study/speculate how you move from one area/perspective to the other area/perspective.
