Final Arrangement and Explanation

Final Composition - for exhibition

The Photo's arranged in this way are much more appealing to the eye. The way it references the set up code is also one of the attractions toward this presentation format. Each ingredient is laid out one above the other like you would find in the "void setup" function.

This series looks at representing a function in OpenProcessing code called Void Setup. The setup function is a part of the code that contains the information needed to carry out the ‘action’. The code needs to have this information established and laid out in order for these ‘actions’ to be conducted.

Metaphorically speaking the setup function to the code is what the ingredients are to a cake. Or in the case of this series the ingredients to a drink. Without these ingredients the drink cannot be produced. Equivalently without the items found in the setup function, the code cannot create the desired end result.

The setup function includes items like background, colour, speed and size. All items that need to be defined for the desired end result. In my photographs I have explored items needed in order to create the desired drink.

In the first two images the focus is on hot drinks. The first looking at a Mocha and the second a cup of Tea. 

The next two photographs in the series are alcoholic mixers, a Falling Water Cocktail and a Gin and Tonic. 

In the last two images of my series I decided to look at shots, a Tequila shot and an Absinthe shot. 

The exploration of different elements and different requirements for each drink speaks metaphorically of how codes require different setup functions according to what they are trying to achieve. This was my overall intention behind the series. Enjoy.
