The group, JAM became interested in this idea of perception. The perception one has of a utopia or dystopia. Their work created this conjunction between the two themes to emphasize their understanding of what a utopia truly is.
Their use of a grey and almost monochromatic setting emphasizes this idea of a dystopic environment in a relatively chaotic and bleak era which relates to J. G Ballard's "The Ultimate City". Their integration of plants into the building site have created a means by which we can build our own understanding of a utopia/dystopia-like environment from their interpretation of what the 'ultimate city' represents.
There representation of the 'ultimate city' links in also with this idea of modernity, and that a 'Garden city' like environment does not need to be viewed as a form of utopia because this interpretation infers that even a congested metropolis can be seen as a utopia to some.
The group had created 3 functional stop animations of plants that had been installed in the studios which worked quite well and smoothly. Very well constructed stop animations created on Photoshop. No 123D Catch models.
Three Avatar molds were also made by the group and presented however the avatars came out quite poorly. This is probably due to the kind of medium used in the making of their avatars as it became very brittle and malleable when dry.
The teams material card gave description to a laminate wood composite that could be used for exterior purposes however their research showed that the laminate wood panels could not be used for the interior of a structure and so had very limited uses.
The groups intention was to create a means by which an audience can interpret their own idea of a utopia.
The team, JAM had presented a fairly high quality presentation that conveyed well there understanding of the story, 'The Ultimate City'. There wasn't any general contrast between the three images and so as a result did not show a real distinction between the two themes, despite there being a relationship between the two of them and the way an audience interprets it. However their stop animation footage was well made and their avatars were made fairly well despite small problems with the delicate medium used.
