TAXONOMY Small Change Mana Mohammadi U1165135 Project: Taxonomy
BRIEF Collect 30 artefacts or images of the same type. Produce a body of design/animation work that communicates the taxonomies and cultural insights within this collection to a specific audience –young, design-aware students in Hong Kong. Communication with this audience will be via internet methods (your blogs, twitter). The University of Huddersfield has a significant Chinese community and you may choose to approach individuals in this community to inform your work. From your collection you will develop the most appropriate concept and produce a cohesive body of work. The presentation of this work may be a number of static images or designs, moving image, virtual display, animation or physical installation.

What is Taxonomy? Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification. The word is also used as a count noun: a taxonomy, or taxonomic scheme, is a particular classification. The word finds its roots in the Greek taxis (meaning order, arrangement ) and, nomos (law or science). Originally taxonomy referred only to the classifying of organisms or a particular classification of organisms. In a wider, more general sense, it may refer to a classification of things or concepts, as well as to the principles underlying such a classification. Taxonomy is different from meronomy which is dealing with the classification of parts of a whole. Many taxonomies have a hierarchical structure, but this is not a requirement. Taxonomy uses taxonomic units, known as taxa (singular taxon).

My Collection The images are my collections of money. I have found out that we can not use banknotes to make art. I have been asked i might need to change my idea , however I found this like a challange and i will keep my idea and i want to find a way to make art with money in an acceptable way. I had to crop the images because we are not suppose the put the image of banknotes online. so the banknotes images all has been croped to smaller size.
Artist Research
Damien Steven Hirst (born 7 June 1965) is an English artist, entrepreneur and art collector. Death is a central theme in Hirst’s works. He became famous for a series of artworks in which dead animals (including a shark, a sheep and a cow are preserved sometimes having been dissected in formaldehyde. The best known of these being The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, a 14 foot (4.3 m) tiger shark immersed in formaldehyde in a vitrine clear display case. He has also made “spin paintings,” created on a spinning circular surface, and “spot paintings”, which are rows of randomly colored circles created by his assistants. In several instances since 1999, sources for certain of Hirst’s works have been challenged and contested as plagiarised, both in written articles by journalists and artists, and, in one instance, through legal proceedings which led to an out-of-court settlement.
