Rorschach

I think you guys did a good job in transitioning the blob images. However I was not sure if the sound is supposed to make us see a different image. The creep your sound did make the last blob seem more like a creepy face, but I personally don't have much of a reaction to the blobs. I don't see an image, so that may skew my perception of your piece. It also would've been good to add the sound as a part of your context but that didn't negatively impact how your work was perceived. Good job.

Hi guys, I really liked your project. I preferred the tritone(?) audio, and I think the combination of that and it being near Halloween made me see a bat in the video. Watching it looped might have made it easier for me to think about what the images were, but I'm sure that's something that can be done easily. For the audio, again I would have liked to hear it on repeat so I could tell if I heard it going up or down. Other than that if the animation and transition between the images was smoother I think it would have been cooler, but I know that would have taken a lot more work. Great job guys!
Here's a Rorschach test I liked: https://patternity-images.s3.amazonaws.com/Rorschach-01.jpg

I think your work is interesting because you have these weird, changing shapes combined with the spooky sounds. You did a nice job creating the unsettling effect you were going for through your choice of visual and audio. I think it'd also be cool if you emphasized that your artwork is based on someone else's material (since you used real Rorschach inkblots). You do mention this, but did you consider how this makes your work almost like pop art, since you're borrowing from psychology? One revision that would be really cool to see would be to add audio pareidolia to your work. You do add some audio-uncertainty with the tritones, but it'd just be interesting to have viewers both see and hear things that aren't there.

Hi!
I was really impressed by the amount of effort put into creating intermediate forms (especially since the inkblots are so abstract), which made the animation look more believable. I also felt that the small details such as the dithering frames and tritone really added to the creepy factor. After reading your documentation, I was reminded of art therapy, in which a patient randomly creates an abstract piece that supposedly reflects their thoughts and emotions. Riding that train of thought, it would be really interesting and potentially creepy if you found some art therapy works from mentally ill patients (or serial killers/criminals, the insane, etc.). Nonetheless, your current work is already quite spooky, although disregarding the time constraint, I would've liked to hear longer snippets of the Shepard tone. I also wasn't really seeing any meaning in the inkblots, or rather I didn't really have time to look at it long enough to come up with anything, so again, maybe extending the length of the frames would've improved the effect.

I really liked your project, especially since I've always found the Rorschach Inkblots interesting. I really liked the thought that went behind picking the spooky tone to add to the piece's uncertainty and the tri-tones to mimic the illusion of pareidolia. I think what might have been interesting would be to have the music change, just because the spooky music almost seems to distort my image of the blobs especially because they seem to move with the music in slightly unexpected ways. I think a different tone in music would affect what people saw which, in my opinion, would add to the illusion. Overall it was a great project and the animation was really nice and in my opinion flowed really well.
