Here is the mindmap produced around my topic. You can see immediately that there is a lot of interest between technical art and characters. Though some of the ideas and concepts presented in the orange area of the chart are intriguing, there isn't that much immediate linking to the other sections. I found a very common theme amoungst all my explored topics - which is grey areas. Areas inbetween - in characters, industries, techniques, visuals.
Personally, from my exploration of these topics. I love to explore the divide between many subject areas and often ask myself why there is such a divide. Why would it exist in the first place? Is this because of technical restraints or visual choices. Is it lack of knowledge?
Homogenisation is a hot topic in the modern world. The divides in culture and technology becomes less with the introduction of a simutaneous global communication - like the internet.
Maybe an investigation into these gaps through the use of technical art/animation might be something relevent. I'm eager to stretch my character development skills too though. I don't mind incorporating some design into my project, but I am scared of the time divide (yet another thing that seems separated).
Overall, I'm still quite uncertain where my project might take me. Hopefully through talking it through with many people might help clear my mind.
