Mankind vs The Biosphere
The objective of this project was to produce a series of embroidered artefacts, driven by my interest in the process of urbanization in British rural regions. These carefully considered pieces not only serve as tactile objects but also have the scope to be scanned through photogrammetry and become assets within a virtual film. By using virtual reality as a medium for showcasing my embroidered artefacts, I aim to raise awareness about the challenges and implications associated with urbanization. Through this immersive experience, viewers can engage with the intricacies of urban development encroaching upon traditionally rural areas. The embroidered artefacts themselves will serve as visual representations of the transformation unfolding in these landscapes. By meticulously stitching intricate details and incorporating elements that embody the essence of both rural and urban environments, I intend to evoke a sense of juxtaposition and contrast. This visual narrative will prompt viewers to contemplate the impact of urbanization in rural areas, inviting them to reflect upon the societal, environmental, and cultural consequences that arise from this process. By presenting these artefacts within a virtual film, I am able to create a dynamic and interactive narrative that immerses viewers in the evolving landscapes. They have the opportunity to explore the embroidered artefacts in a virtual environment, observing how the delicate stitches and textures coexist with the virtual surroundings. This multisensory experience will deepen their understanding of the intricate relationship between urbanization and the rural landscape. Ultimately, by blending the mediums of virtual reality and embroidery, my project seeks to provoke thought and begin a dialogue about the complex issues surrounding urbanization. Through the power of art and technology, I aim to encourage viewers to contemplate the importance of preserving and sustaining the unique character of rural areas amidst the relentless expansion of urban development
