Our final project is a continuation of the third one, where we used the
projector to appear in the bar at the same time with people from different
eras to highlight a sense of time travel.
For this final project, our plan is to make an opera house, which also USES
projectors and characters in oil paintings of different eras to get together
and enjoy the opera themed “My Fair Lady”, and combine the stage,
furniture and lighting designed by ourselves.

At first, I hoped to find a way to combine classical oil painting with
architecture and interior design, and I found a way to use the technology
of Photoshop and aftereffect plus the technological effect of projector.
So we can satisfy the existence of classical classical oil painting, but also
combined with modern design aesthetic.

Nightlife in the city.
It could be the inspiration for Beyond Vision and also raise the level of musical culture known as the “crosswalk musical.”
So, the project that the younger generation created was an immersive show with James Corden.
This is an interactive installation of Mary’s music performance on the music stage set and a Mary Poppins reflecting the city’s nightlife walkway in central London.

The design method of the video editing design website is mentioned in the project, in which the audience experiences a previous page, that is, the research agenda and process can be felt through interaction.
We create the illusion of the world’s atmosphere analysis of “My” musical “My fair lady” and “the history of our audience and the audience design, combined with music actors in space, via the city nightlife reflect more on the cultural model of indoor area to build our own version in the SketchUp design site, and the urban workers can work in this virtual space.
“My Fair Lady” excerpt from…
The effect of filmmaking was one of the first ways we designed this immersive interactive project to flow through the theater.
Eventually, the film will be uploaded to our website for public viewing

During the design project, after the study of the first few cases, the researcher finally chose the project-based project presentation method after repeated experiments, discussions and tests. We hoped to create a time-travel feeling in the HYDRAULIC POWER STATION. It’s the same drinking. The figures drinking in the paintings are from the past, while the participants are modern.

Different times, different styles of dress, and different groups of people, but everyone enjoys partying and drinking the same.

People living in the present can see how happy and enjoying the gentlemen of that time were in the wine, and can also enjoy the classic works of Horace.

Such an operation, for our academic project, has been a very perfect way to combine art painting and interior design with people’s life.

We chose two of Horace’s works, one of which is one of his most famous paintings, called A Rake’s Progress, plate 3, which is A sequel to hogarth’s the Progress of the whore, the artist’s second “modern moral theme.”And the researchers think it fits perfectly with our retro bar theme.

It tells the story of a modest young man, Tom Rakewell, who inherits a legacy, enters fashionable London life, and then succumbed to economic collapse and madness.

The board shows Tom (far left) on Drury lane notorious rose pub’s private room with prostitutes, street musicians and “woman” posture or professional stripper (at the front desk to prepare her performance), the artist will lead the rich young man that enjoy express incisively and vividly, faces, and will be with him together on the wine table drinking women also mapped out the details of the greed of eyes, desire of action, etc. All performance.

Through the above research combined with inspiration, I try again to use color Mosaicof the form, with many colorful glass squares or plastic pieces together into a ‘van gogh’s face’, form now popular “Pixel style”, this is not only a single van gogh face itself, or a view is reflected by the light pattern of light and shadow, are two completely different art experience.

Second plan，From the front, van gogh’s face is clearly visible, but from any other Angle is only a jumble of broken glass.

The inspiration came from wegman，Wegman has been called “the stuff of art” because every medium can be found in his work. He skillfully used sculptures, paintings, drawings, glass and ceramics, or things that just seem “junk” to us, as his project materials. Through his understanding of human body painting, he pieced together and built materials, and did create amazing shadow pictures on the wall under the spotlight.

In the second plan, I also tried some bold ideas under the advice of my tutor. You can feel that the main theme I want to highlight in the second plan is the adult club, and you can see many sexy strippers on the picture.

These may be very shy topics for modern times, but in those days it was a very common bar culture, like the red light district in Amsterdam today.

Neon lights and posters are used to depict the girls. I think this is also an expression of painting and retro culture. The painting may not be a rectangle with rules.

Such an active approach will be more socially acceptable. 

First of all, my original idea for this project was about painting.

Later, after working and discussing with my team members, our idea changed to a retro-themed bar idea. Here are some gifs I made.

I combined a lot of old photos and retro culture, people’s preferences from the ’80s, and made them by collage.

First of all, you can see that there are a lot of paintings in the background from different periods of time, and I chose to keep them in color, so we can see now that they are in color, because I think these are the only paintings that can permanently preserve culture;

I chose to make the bar and table black and white, because with the change of times, the furniture is always changing and updating;

And this retro bar table, for us is already very old old things, old in everyone’s mind is black.

And the last character on the GIF, I chose white.

Because in these cultures, we are the palest and the witnesses of history.

Theo van Doesburg (1883.8.30 ~ 1931.3.7) was a famous Dutch painter, designer, poet and aesthetic theorist in the 20th century.He is famous for the establishment and leadership of Dutch “style” art. He is the theoretical founder and standard-bearer of Dutch “style”, the founder, preside and writer of “style” magazine, as well as the pioneer of dadaism and the advocator of futurism. His Design style is to Remove the traditional design factors and turn them into basic geometric monomer; then combine the geometric monomers into a simple structure, while the monomers still have relative independence and visibility; also Research and application of asymmetric structure; repeated use of vertical and horizontal geometry and basic primary colors (red, yellow and blue), neutral colors (black, white and grey).

When it comes to his design philosophy, we have to talk about Bauhaus.Bauhaus is an architectural, industrial design, aesthetic and sociological concept. At the end of the 1920s, Theo van Doesburg began to advocate “less style”, and increasingly penetrated into the simple geometric structure and neutral color plan of “reductionism”, and devoted himself to the study of new internationalism.This artistic view was adopted and had a great influence by Bauhaus, and abstract art gradually became an international style of modern design, guiding the product modeling throughout the 20th century.

The main reason why famous paintings are famous is that the people
and scenery in them are not beautiful in reality.The project I want
to do is to turn the things in the painting into reality, into something
that can be felt in real life, and to feel in the scene.Let visitors into
the painting, feel the beauty of the painting.

The exhibition of Yayoi Kusama is my inspiration,
and I hope to express the effect I want like her works.

My first plan was to make a three-sided mirror scene,
with a projector projecting the image from above onto
the mirror and reflecting the image according to the
mirrors on both sides.(depending on the experiment,
mirrors may also be added at the bottom and top to
increase the reflected image.)

My second plan was to place three oversized screens,
with three projectors on top of each screen at the
same time.
