Vincent Hsu: Week 2 + Week 3

The Two Clients I used are:

Steven Hawking

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

Florence Nightgale

"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within."

Note, references are located in previous posts.

Screen Shots of UT 2004

Note that the screen shot couldn't be taken with fraps, because the applied textures dissappear while in game, hence a screen shot from the UT editor was taken instead.

The common experience in which we all have in shopping centres of watching red laser price scanners and barcodes is used as a mechanism to explore the Electro liquid Aggregation that occurs between Steven Hawking and Florence Nightgale. Déjà vu is an effect that can only occur under the speed of light, the barcode texture with 300 000 000 encoded beneath is indeed the speed of light, the red alert tinting effect is used to indicate how Stephen Hawking’s science and Florence Nightgales medical applications are closely intertwined.

The Florence Nightgale believed in the triumph of inner beauty over superficial beauty. This concept is encapsulated in the red lighting, radiated internally, seeping into the darkness that attempts to engulfs the patients in the hospital. The confined colour shows a sign of love and care but ironically also shows danger in fighting against sickness.

The Steven Hawking’s Laboratory is divided into three levels. The structure and layout is specifically designed to create a sense of déjà vu. This is a phenomenal result of quantum physics and Einstein’s special relativity in which Hawking explored through his entire life. The complex phenomenal concept is explored in such a way that every entrance looks somewhat similar yet different. The responder subconsciously feels that what he or she sees is familiar, and hence the effects of Déjà vu.
