We are in Canvas Group 5
Group members: Tale Nap, Noor de Feber, Stijn Brugman, David Lammers, Froukje Temme, Sofia Baltussen, Alessia Bertana & Bas van der Steenhoven
Sofia Baltussen
My aspiration is to learn a lot. To get better in programming, and to combine the art with technology. To make something creative that we can be proud of. I love art and I am very eager to see how we can implement this with technology.
Also, this project, like every other, I hope to learn even more how to collaborate and to trust each other in project groups.
Alessia Bertana
This project will definitely be a challenge to all of us because of the digital platform it needs to be made on. Without the physical part, it might be more difficult to really make an emotional impact on people. Therefore, my ambition in this project is to still create something special and impactful by doing something ‘out of the box’. An ambition more directed to myself is to put myself in difficult positions and this would definitely be to try more with programming or just something in the digital field.
Stijn Brugman
My aspiration inside this project, is to combine art and technology in a playful way. Working in a group, wherein i can develop my own skills by learning from each other and self development. Especially the programming part I’m most interested in. Making interactive-things inside programs or making algorithms is a thing I love to do. Besides that 3D-modeling or movie making is something which can be really handy to use in projects.
Noor de Feber
My aspiration with this project is to learn more about interactive designs. I would like to be able to make something with which you can make an impact on a person, make people think and something that is fun and interesting for them to participate in. Also, I think that it is a great challenge to create something with multiple persons but without seeing them in real life due to the corona crisis. Also personally I would like to improve my programming and maybe something with this in the project if that is possible.
David Lammers
I’m curious to see what this project will bring us. I’m really interested in 3d modelling and visualization of objects/scenery. I hope I can bring this back into this project and to get more experience using these kinds of programs. I don’t know a lot about the theme, so it will be interesting to see how I can match my interest with the ideas we are going to create.
Tale Nap
At first glance, I do not know what to expect from the project for this module. I am excited to get started and have looked forward to this project since visiting the gogbot festival last year. I saw the wide range of possibilities the groups were provided with within the subject and I hope that we as a group can create something that flourishes creatively through art and has some impact. I am interested in art and the combination of technology with art. I am looking to dive into it through interactive media, webpages and other sorts of digital installations.
Bas van der Steenhoven
I love to make interactive projects, mostly games, but also interactive 3D environments. Quantum Supremacy is a topic I know little about, so I will be doing a deep dive. This is stimulating for me. I would like to see if I can match the theme to my passion. Making an interactive environment, which could be as simple as a website or a big 3D VR environment is challenging, because of the difficult topic, while the installation should be informative for people who have never heard of it.
Maybe this will not be possible, but as long as I make something with my team that I can be proud of, I will be happy.
Froukje Temme
To be honest I was actually quite sad that we can’t make something physical for gogbot this year. In the beginning of this year we visited gogbot and I was very impressed by some of the things people made and I was wondering if we were going to be able to do the same at the end of the year. I still have doubts about this and I’m not sure now since I can’t improve building physical things. Having said that, I would like to develop in this module in the area of digital visualisation, such as 3D modelling and perhaps virtual reality (like I saw on one of the projects last year). I think it would be really cool to create something people will think about afterwards, and therefore that is my goal. Something that doesn’t have a physical impact but a emotional impact.
