For one semester, we were invited to rethink boundaries between art and architecture within our art curriculum. Using examples that played on definitions, we designed an architectural work that would allow us to survey the territory along high-voltage power lines. This pylon survey offers a transformed vision of travel, constrained to these continuous or fragmented non-spaces at the foot of the power grid.
This short parody animation of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure offers a glimpse of our pylon surveying tent in use.
A real technical challenge, the animation was created in a few days using Photoshop, frame by frame. Without expecting to achieve a quality close to that of the series, the added animation still had to be credible enough to allow the suspension of disbelief necessary to buy into the project. The final editing, done in Premiere Pro, smoothed out any imperfections and created consistency, particularly through the use of subtitles and the final presentation.
