Project Two: Structure And Noise

In todays lecture we went over the project and were shown some various images by Anton Stankonwski and we had to say whether we thought they portrayed structure or noise more. The point of the exercise was to get us thinking about what structure and noise means and how it is visually shown.

We got asked to write down our own meanings for each of the words. As well as this I also looked up the official definition of them. I think structure and noise mean the following.

Structure: Repetiton, alignment of elemenets, something that we can follow and recognise.

Noise: Something we can't make sense of, more colours and more random.

The dictionary meaning of these words are as followed.

Structure: Mode of building. construction, organisation, arrangement of parts, elements or constituents.

Noise: A nonharmonious or discordant group of sounds.

Below are two examples of Stankonwski's works which I really like. 

Anton Stankonwski: Form Fiden

       


I really like the image on left because I think it is a really nice example of how you can use colours to emphasis an idea and composition. It is very structured but the more you look at it the more things you see which begins to make it seem quite noisy.

I like the image on the right because I think it is a nice contrast to the image on the left. Using just line instead of block colour creates a completely different look. I think the composition of lines make the image look noisy but at the same time the grid is quite obvious giving the image some overall structure.
