Description
• The aim of this project is to create a theme
park digital set using the work of
Kandinsky as inspiration.
Kandinsky
• Kandinsky is known for his abstract art.
• He is also one of few people considered to
have a condition called Synesthesia.
• His work came in three categories:
Composition, Impression and
Improvisation
Composition
• Kandinsky considered his compositions to
be milestones in his artistic ability.
Composition IV Composition VII Composition X
Improvisation
• His improvisations were his random
thoughts placed onto canvas.
Improvisation 9 Improvisation 26 Improvisation 35
Synesthesia
• Synesthesia is a condition where the
person receives mixed sensory reactions
from a single stimulus.
• For example when Kandinsky heard music
he could also see colour.
Direction change
• After the pitch I went down a slightly different design path. Instead of creating rides with Kandinskys style I decided to create rides that used his methodology which was to let music be the inspiration.
• I was put into contact with Ethan Shilling so that this would be possible.
Ethan Shilling
• Ethan Shilling is a UCA Alumni
• has worked on a variety of projects.
Including Project Requiem and Sounds of
Rochester

Ethan Shilling: Project Requiem
• This Project involved using motion capture
and entering the data to create shapes.

Ethan Shilling: Sounds of Rochester
The idea behind this project was to create
something visual from pre recorded sounds
Sounds of rochester (2015), http://ethanshilling.co.uk/portfolio/sound-sculptures/
Making of: Roller Coaster• Using the first plugin
shown. I plugged in
Arnold Schoenburgs
String Trio, op 45
(1946) and the
plugin created a
string of particles.
Next Step
• Complete the Rollercoaster track
completing the supports and adding an
entrance way.
• Animate the Cart.
• Move on to the other rides.
• Create branding for the rides and the park
Other Ride ideas
I want to create more rides in the same way as Kandinsky by putting
the rides into different categories. Some will be music based like the
Impression paintings and some that are purely to express style like the
composition paintings.
Other Ride ideas
This ride will be
animated by using a
motion path created
from one of the
plugins. In theory the
different songs should
create a different
rocking motion.
Other Ride ideas
This ride need to be re
designed. The updated
idea is that using the
plugin with the cubes
I’ll create multiple seats
that will react to a
piece of music
differently, given the
riders a different
experience on each
seat.
