| Just getting started - playing with skybox and time of day settings |
Playing around with the time of day, skybox and environment settings I was able to get some different view shots from the same location.
LECTURE OBSERVATION:
One piece of work that I found particularly interesting in the lecture today was one of Russell's modern examples of the sublime being - Olafur Eliasson's installation 'Blind Passenger'. I think this is a really great example of the sublime as it presents that moment in time where normal instincts are blurred and a sense of uncertainty and i guess 'horror' takes over as the people transition through this unfamiliar, atmospherically dense pathway. This installation directly translates the quote by Edmund Burke given earlier in the lecture;
"The passion caused by the great and the sublime in nature, when those causes operate most powerfully is Astonishment, and astonishment is that state of the soul in which all its motions are suspended, with some degree of horror… No passion so effectively robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear."
