Psychology Project - Funny How Things Turn Out

our big project for Psychology class is a creative project for which we had 4 options

the Instructor mentioned that if we had something different in mind, then we could run it by him to see if it would be feasible


one of the options consisted of taking a abstract 'doodle'-type drawing (something that somebody draws when they arent really paying attention), and expand it to be a larger piece which reflects their thought process



since i have been working over these past few years to obliterate my conscious and subconscious and merge them into one 'thing', i have found myself frequently putting mnemonics to use (as i mentioned in a previous post with reference to the movie 'Memento')
this got me thinking about the psych project

i had a idea to try to use all of the mnemonic structures that i am familiar with and merge them into one image - and so far (from the rough sketches) i am excited about the effects that are coming up

mnemonics rely on structures and patterns that are easy to recall and lend themselves to making connections to information

accordingly - it can be said that a 'mnemonic system' is a very structured system

the interesting effect emerges when you compile a bunch of mnemonic systems in the same place - because you get a huge shitload of 'orderly' information (structured trails and packages) in what looks to be a chaotic arrangement

here is a little sample of where this project seems to be heading:



upon completion of this project - i might sleep for a couple of months

what you see above was done in pencil crayon on a 4" x 6" sheet

i am aiming at putting the good copy on 11" x 14"


really looking forward to this one

sort of like consolidating everything i have ever done ever in a visually stimulating way


i gotta contact my boy Os3y3ris for some feedback on this one
