What do we think and expect from this object, Drying rack?
For someone, this laundry drying rack is a household tool for 'living', and it is this object that has an inherent folding and unfolding movement. Using this object as the main material, this art piece changes the approach to the object by making an unexpected sound. By amplifying and playing the sound of this object, which was used as a common tool in everyday life, it gives variations in the way of viewing objects. When this object is used as a tool for other activities, rather than a routine role of hanging and drying clothes, should it really fall into the category of laundry drying?
The concept of the simulacrum
The Deleuzian concept of the simulacrum can be defined in terms of three characteristics, which stand in contradistinction to the three components of the Platonic Idea summarized above..
from page 12 you can find a document about the simulacrum from Gilles Deleuze https://philarchive.org/archive/SMITCO-5
Process
Ideas
As we experimented the Lemon battery, the electric current could also be produced by, for example, potatoes, or humans. In my project, I'd like to work with this concept. Supposedly each object has a different volume of electricity. When I can auditoryize different currents, it could be played like instruments.
In additional, I'm also curious about friction. If an object is frictioned by an impact, does an electric current occur then? Or does it change from the current it originally had? For example, when I hit an iron hanger on an iron laundry dryer(clothes dryer), friction occurs, and will electricity be generated?
i rlly don't know why sometime the picture are shown on the page without any link connections..
10.12.2022 A test with the piezo microphone
i took this video by using my DSLR to record my performance and iPhone to record the sound. I put the iPhone just next to the computer. and at the same time i used able-ton for sound... I edited this video with Final Cut X to combine the sound and video.
Personally I think there is a lot of problems. even it is really horrible to just listen to it. It is too noisy and sounds really somehow dirty. and my DIY piezo microphone is too large for strings on the clothe dryer. How can I make the sound more clear?
- Why did I choose the CLOTHE DRYER for my material?
It was kinda interesting when i brought the video of my test with clothe dryer, some people said "oh! you took a video with a harp!" and i answered, "No, i played piano in my video.". This moment let me think about skeletons of objects. Through the skeletons we guess the objects or shapes of the objects. In a good way, i can define the possibility of beings with it. But in a more complicated way, simulacrum from Deleuze and idea from platon.......................... need to time to thinkkkk

* In terms of sustainability in aesthetics
it could be a solution or art which is green and more eco friendly. to be ...
For me, the definition of aesthetics has a wide range of diversity. Sometimes it should be visually aesthetic. On the other hand, it could look ugly, but the content can be aesthetic. The point is harmony and symmetry of itself.
When it comes to sustainability in aesthetics, the final artwork should be eco-friendly and green which means it will be proper when we work with recycled stuff or nature-resource. Either the solution of the works could be for future.

Prototype 432
Bernardas Bagdanavicius
"The prototype is constructed of steel elements united in a three dimensional matrix structure. Electric guitar steel strings are incorporated into machined heads attached to the steel frame. All 432 strings are crossed and spaced at regular intervals and each of them is has a contact microphone connected to the sound system and operated by computer. It is a closed circuit energy generator for the sound object."
