Contextual Report - Mum who am I? >>>

Vilma — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:16:40 +0000

This is my Contextual Report for my final year project. In this paper, I propose that there is no need to undergo expensive, psychologically and physically painful procedures in finding your perfect look. Essential parts of the human psyche - confidence and self-esteem - could be easily lifted and ‘healed’ not just by a few cuts and stitches made by the surgeon, but also by through various design contexts and practises.

Throughout my research I have developed two areas of interest, which are conflicting. I do like this idea of creating designs for people who feel a ‘need’ to fit into constraining stereotypes, as well as the idea - to create new objects, new forms by applying surgical procedures (taking away or adding) to already existing practises or designs.

The Archaeology of Futures. Sandra

Sandra Kit
Plastic, metal and mixed materials,
USA , Europe and Japan, 2020

Sandra plastic surgery kit was a revolutionary example
of domestic surgery. It became popular with large
numbers of ordinary people who were interested in building
self-confidence. It was, however, always controversial in
medicine circles, as people could perform procedures
( Abdominoplasty, Blepharoplasty, Mammoplasty, Labiaplasty,
Rhinoplasty, Otoplasty, Rhytidectomy, Suction-assisted
lipectomy, Chin augmentation, Cheek augmentation
and etc. ) without consulting with a specialist.
As a consequence a lot of deaths occurred.

A kit consists of : a mirror, face/body sanding, grating,
buffing, measuring, stretching, blade and laser
cutting, suction and filling equipment.

The Archaeology of Futures. Workshop by El Ultimo Grito

Vilma — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:34:27 +0000

The aim of this workshop is to create both objects and narrative contexts as one single outcome. During the development process the first would feed the second and one vice versa in order to achieve new kinds of product typology that would talk about possible futures and the way we picture and interpret them right now.

Starting from three or more objects from the 1 pound shop around the corner and then joining them togehter these objects, or just a part of them, through an intuitive exploration of shapes and the language of objects, would lead to ‘bizare’ and ‘imaginary’ constructs that are able to talk abstract uses away from more known typologies of use.

All the objects are painted white in order to erase, on one side, their ‘past lives’, as these are not meant to be understood as ready-mades but as objects in their own right.

My objects from 1 pound shop.

This projects was one week joint project , where second & third year students had a chance to meet and design together. I was working alongside of: Brittany Gragham (3rd year) and Danny Morgan, Alice B., Nicolette (2nd year). As a group we had to create 30 copies of A5 size leaflet promoting our topic :Design is Pollution. Promoting our ideas, instead of 30 copies we made 110.Being a ‘bit cheeky’, playing with closed cards, without revealing our main arguments to our opponents: Design is NOT Pollution, we had few strong arguments ready for the big day: Friday 13 November.

KIN Design | Nokia Live Brief

Vilma — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:44:41 +0000

Kin Design | Nokia Live Brief

Vilma — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:43:16 +0000

This was 6 weeks project, where I worked alongside my other friends: Lizzy Burt and Michael Richardson.

The brief of the project was to design a 5m square exhibition space in Brick Lane that would communicate Nokia’s new ’social location’ technology. The outcome had to capture visitor’s attention and tell the story with simplicity and innovation.

The concept of our stand was: the fluctuation of the social network, through status updates.

An application on the Nokia website (see preview: http://vilmajar.com/Nokia) was created to allow users to enter status updates, and see them coming live on a bird box, whilst the bird pops out and back again.

The Anti-social

Vilma — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:42:48 +0000

This project was an interesting and challenging journey, as my main aim was not to create something beautiful, beneficial to a society but opposite - to create negativity that people would remember and talk about. As an artist I was re-shaping an old area’s face. I was designing its new mood, playing with people’s feelings, their emotions, with a hope to shock and leave them scared and terrified.
With my interventions I wanted to achieve a properties’ prices drop that I could move in and live there. That is why and how I became an unknown vandal, replacing positives with negatives and opposite.

All interventions were presented in form of a notebook, which slipped from the ‘vandal’s’ pocked, on the run from a local estate agent.

Interventions:

1.Missing dog’s poster was distributed around local area, advertising: Black Pug Dog by the group of youths has been stolen from well known Holly & Lil Collar Couture (local store) shop floor. A cash reward has been offered. (To frighten community and make them feel unsafe about themselves and their pets)

2.Temporary parking space was designed and placed on the single yellow line. When the driver parks, parking space is removed by ‘vandal’ and car is standing on a yellow line (To make drivers confused and be punished by the traffic wardens)

3.Prostitute advertising card was designed and placed in the local phone box (To attract neighborhood’s attention and introduce London’s problem to a local community, faking service’s potential)

4.Directing ground sign (To help people finding well hidden, Poussin’s Gallery)

5.Fake vomit in the local park (To shock and disgust people who come to park for lunch)

6.Appealing for witness sign by the murder scene (To shock and scare community with fictional serious (Rape/Murder) crime scene)

7. Irritating sound created by musicians, who cannot play (To interrupt the silence and peaceful idyll of a local area)

On Location | Spying Hole

Vilma — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:38:21 +0000

Brief: to analyse a location allocated by the course coordinator and identify the means by which the space has been organised to effect the particular use of that space. My task was to change the way the space is used, perceived or experienced by designing and implementing small intervention.

In my space, for a small intervention I used a black curtain with a very strange hole in it. I folded it twice, hanged it higher and gave a new meaning to it. Now this hole wasn’t an ordinary hole, this hole became as a spying hole.

Phobia | Somniphobia

Vilma — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:37:59 +0000

SOMNIPHOBIA – a fear of sleep.
Researching Somniphobia, I carefully examined the causes of this phobia and came up with bed linens design, which should help people to build back their lost confidence, feeling of security and wash their fear away…

By hiding a real person between faces and limbs printed on the fabric of bed linens, I created a DECOY used in diversion of the enemy from the actual target, which is a protective defensive strategy. At the same time this print CAMOUFLAGES allowing an otherwise visible organism to remain indiscernible from the surrounding environment; in this case bed linens the person sleeps on.

In a result, a somniphobe is hidden from its ‘enemy’ or at least confuses the viewer into difficulty finding him.
