Graph of Desire by babe

April 20th, 2008 2:41 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Generate a graph of your desires.

I don't know a lot about graphs, especially about how to generate them so this was very experimental and
I still do not know if the outcome has any meaning or if it this was just a lovely waste of time.

I started with creating a system how to classify my desires. But whenever I thought that it would cover the attributes of my desires I found something missing.
So I had to try something else and therefor I'm not bound on and special kind of graph I decided to add another dimension to the graph to make the system more complex.
So what I created was a 3dimensional graph system where the outcome would also have 3 dimensions.
I'm gonna generate an OBJECT OF DESIRE.

The attributes for the classification of my desires would be: on the x coordinate if they are impressions or expressions, on the y coordinate if they are rationally or emotionally motivated, and on the z coordinate if they are mentally or physically experienced.

So every desire would be located in one of the 8 spherical sectors (f.e. if a desire is classified as a mental rational expression it would be in the lower front sector on the right, if classified as physical emotional impression it would be the upper left sector on the back, got it?)

got it?

Next thing I did was to write down my desires and give them coordinates. When a desire had attributes from both directions of the coordinate I added them to get an average value.

Then I charted the Points in the diagram. Next thing to do was to figure out what the object would look like...

And here it is. When I tried to figure out how the object actually looks like I wished I would have made it on CAD program instead of drawing. I tried to color it a bit for better understanding, I really expected it to be more compact. I must be such an imbalanced person, not even the heart is inside the object...

And here it is compared with the spheric ideal persons object in the background. :-)

Uselessness is an underrated desire.

I like your analog completion.

I absolutely love this! totally beautifully rendered!

I would love to see a final 3d object, though, labeled and colored and everything... a sculptural object of desire. Even in 2d representation, though, it is full of awesomesauce!

I was actually thinking about creating sculptures of these "rocks of desire". Unfortunatly I have to spend my time with workingformoney for at least a few weeks now, so this can take some time, but if I make some I'm gonna post pics here!
