code a motion hello everyone my name is Myron Campbell and the title of my lecture is make something ugly an experimental creative process so I'd first like to thank code motion everyone at code motion has been so gracious and so amazing it's been
such a fantastic holiday my wife is enjoying herself she's just over here and we've had a great time so I just wanted to say thank you so much so I'll jump right in in the spirit of ugly I wanted to show a few ugly photos of myself this is a Halloween
costume from a few years ago I was a roadie for Metallica the car it's just a costume the moustache is real though and this photo is the main reason why I stopped growing a mustache this is after 30 days I think so I stopped my you know I would keep it
and I would keep trying but my wife she disagrees so I'll listen to my wife I like to make her happy so hence no no mustache clean shaven so I'll tell you a little bit more about myself other than I can't grow a mustache I've been teaching
interactive design full-time for the last three years at vancouver film school in Canada and while also completing my master's and media arts at Emily Carr University of art and design so before that I was working as an art director in an interactive studio
now i'm a senior instructor at the school but i'm also an artist so it's a bit of a balancing act you know I'm I really like this liminal space though the space is hybrid space between art and design I feel like all my work has that discipline
of being a designer but the expression of being an artist so one of the first courses i taught which i still teach now really stemmed from the ideas and i'm going to share with you today it's called experimental practices and it takes place in the
last half of the program where students have learned a lot of the tools and now they're asked to you to explore the tools experiment with the tools put the various techniques into practice so basically it's my way to encourage the students to maintain
a personal practice of some sort and introduce experiment experimentation into the process so some of the exercise i give them are based on surrealist parlor games the surrealist had tons of little experiments that they did that would ultimately feed into
their larger works jean arp and Andre musang or one of our two of many that practice automatic drawing the Surrealists use this method as a way to tap into randomness and and the subconscious into their work so as a way to free themselves from convention and
access meaning unavailable through traditional methods so another exercise which I really love is exquisite corpse which I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with multiple contributors there's often just guides of where the previous drawing ended you
add on to it and you fold it out at the end and you see what you come up with the Surrealists are great because these exercises are still relevant and they're very freeing and allow for a lot of unexpectedness and that randomness so the results of the
course have been really fun the first day is called no pixel day and I get them with paints and watercolors dry medium just to create textures where they could later scan into the computer for digital use we have a remix day where someone starts a piece under
a certain theme and then every ten minutes someone adds to that and you can see we do screen capture movies and play them at the end of the class to see how the piece evolved over time we do a digital version of exquisite corpse so all of these are done using
Adobe Illustrator so we give them all the same guides so that everything lines up perfectly I also give them a few other limitations like no stroke on the shapes range of color to choose from so they all unify in some way and it's great for the students
because they see their style next to other people's style and that that randomness that happy accident and it's that kind of thing I love to cultivate in this course so I'll use myself as a bit of an example here too when I finished college I missed
having assignments to challenge myself so I began making our projects just to learn new tools and new tricks so for a time I was trying to perfect the art of digital collage so I met this painter from Belfast and she let me scanning all of her paintings there
on the left there and then I would remix them add to them in Photoshop only spending a few hours on them so I'd stay after hours at the studio is working at well everyone else was at home I just crank these out adding a layer of narrative interpreting
what she was doing and putting my own meaning on top a lot of them were coming really quickly really fast and there are a lot of fun so at the same time I started doing flash tutorials and taught myself how to animate and this along with all the other artwork
that I was doing I was posting it online and allowing anyone to come and take a look at it and it was from that personal work that stuff I was doing on my own time that started to attract clients and studios so the trailer park boys is anyone here even know
the trailer park boys so it's a it's a little TV show in Canada really kind of goofy and vulgar but they looked at my work and they saw there was some potential here to do the website for them for their second season of the show and this was great
because I was finally getting paid for doing the type of work that I would normally just do in my own time I had that freedom which was great and the brief the creative brief was like a dream come true they said they asked me please make this website is vulgar
as possible it needs to have a lot of alcohol drugs women swearing as much as possible so great right like yeah sure that sounds fantastic so they then they trusted me to do a good job because of the stuff they saw online so I also got a gig from CBC's
