So far I have gathered most of the videos I will be using for my projection. I might add some more later on but for now, these are the ones I have narrowed it down to.
Here, I wanted to focus on something that's very close to me. For those who know me well, they know that Disney World has always been close to my heart. I have grown up going to Disney since I was basically born and have been brought up loving Disney. This final project I wanted to focus on my personal experiences with Disney and how it makes me feel. My first trip was when I wasn't even 1 years old and have been going with my family ever since. I have even done two Disney College Programs working for this company and even part time for a short time frame. Thinking about stress and stress relievers, Disney and going to their parks has always been my stress reliever, you can ask almost anyone in this classroom and they can attest to this. I really wanted to try to portray the feelings I have when I am in Disney and how it has really impacted my life. I think projecting onto my hand made ears, t-shirts, hats, and pins makes this even more personal.
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's 33 Questions per Minute really intrigued me because it is one of many of a lot of large-scale interactive installations that he does. This one in particular focuses on a computer program that generates fortuitous questions. Most of the questions don't make any sense, but the program uses grammatical rules and words from a dictionary to make these questions. The LCD screens that he used to display these questions would show 33 questions a minute, enough time to read them but not to reflect on them. However, it is interactive as well. Viewers can enter their own questions into the system and they will randomly be put into the mix of 33 questions a minute. Since they are random viewers are unable to tell the difference between computer generated questions and human generated questions. I find this work really interesting because it shows us all the different possible outcomes for questions and questions that have never been asked bef...
David Rokeby is an installation artist from Toronto, Canada and has been creating and showing his work since 1982. His interactive installation Hand-held (2012) was probably the most interesting to me. This installation is based completely on the viewer's movements and where their hands fall on the installation. The projection itself has 80 different layers of images, making it to where the height of one's hands shows different images. As one comes into focus with the main images, when the hands move the images unfocus until they're back under the right height. The image above is just one out of the 80 images used for this installation so you can see that at this height in these positions what would be clear and what would be out of focus. https://vimeo.com/48946545 Artist Statement: "Hand-held is an installation that consists of an apparently empty space which reveals its contents as you explore it with your hands. Today, we regularly use our hands to nav...
