New Project
Along with the digital silhouette updates I will documenting the process of a new project I am doing for Video Art class.
The goal is to create a video or audio project that involves installation, sculpture or performance (or single channel, but thats boring).
I have not exactly come up with a concept yet, however I do know the medium. For a project a while back a team and I created a card table that has a project screen on the surface. It kind of looks like this:
Although our table was built with touch sensor technology. I will only be using the table for its projection surface.
My idea is to create some type of installation that speaks to the use of a table. I had a couple ideas. I thought of perhaps taping someone using the table from underneath. The video would ultimately be in the POV of a person underneath a glass table, looking up.
Another concept I thought about was the idea of hiding underneath a table and what that could represent. In one sense, it brings to mind children playing hide n’ seek, or even in a more upsetting context, hiding from someone who may harm them. In general, to me hiding under a table is an idea that is somewhat naive, as in something a child would do, but also as a method an adult would do if they were expecting or even wanting to be found.
I imagine the user to experience the table as a window into a private world. The user will be looking at a person who doesn’t know they are being looked at.
the sond idea is great! playing with that hiding-not hiding idea, what kind of footage, something similar like peekaboo? or more unconsious ways of hiding or being seen/found?
reminds me of childrens forts too.
