The piece is called the apples and bananas.

The idea of my project started with a sculpture that would project a light painting on the ceiling. It was a failure. I could not for the life of me figure how to focus the light of the projection. Or how to show the color of the painting. It worked in my head but never came to fruition. Therefore I changed to the moving abstract painting which could be projected on a wall.

I wanted the audience to have the feeling of obsession and admiration for paint as I do. I know that it is to much to ask for and would never happen. Therefore I will settle for the audience having a sublime awe struck moment by the build up and flow of the paint being projected many times larger than themselves on a wall or large screen.

The idea behind this piece was to create a digital mural that could play for the public on a outside wall or large public screen. The goal for the project was to combine the idea of out door cinema and a fine arts painting. The goal was to recreate the lost sublime feeling of moving cinema by using a medium that I am awe inspired by. I want to project the feeling that i feel about paint onto the viewer.

The main problem of the piece is the shaking of the camera. I tried my best to stop the problem but it never was fully resolved it. I had a hard time working around the automatic focusing of the camera. It also feels to short and I should have added more. I should added more paint and more medium.

To exhibit this piece in a public setting, I'm still looking. For right now I believe I should try it out on the walls of the no exit gallery.

experimental painting

experimentation

during my experimentation I studied the lights. And made a bad animation using the lights. Then I realized a very important thing when doing so timing. Also I got idea during the stop motion animation of my phone and some paper origami I found. Using photos in strips and pieces and animating them in pieces of individual layers. then mixing the layers with strips of drawings and paintings. The conglomeration of media will makes a collage animation. I remembered a music video B.O.B beautiful girls opening sequence It the best way to describe what I am talking about.

good animation ideas.

Found an animation by ryan woodward. Its a good hand drawn animation. I got an idea that this style and idea could be used with paint and conte in a stop motion animation.

ideas

first idea.
I want create a gallery wall with a frame work hanging own the wall. In the framed work there will be a projected silhouette image of a mouse running on a wheel. The light will flicker along the same pace as the mouse movements. The flicker light will simulate the illusion of the mouse keeping the light on by its perpetual running on the wheel. I was inspired to create this idea by the first part of the reading claiming that traditional modes of concept could be use by fascism. The mouse representing the proletariat and the viewer representing the bourgeoisie. I'm debating on using a real mouse and generator or a zoetrope.

second idea

inspired by Winsor McCay and PEZ. Make moving still life painting with stop motion animation. I will use a combination hand drawn lines, paint, and photographs and real objects.
It's pretty straight forward. I think I would only need three piece of mylar, a table, camera, photographs, a orange, and a vase of flowers.


third idea
sculpture of frames projecting out of a box. An image would be projected onto the ceiling. Each frame would have a color and image and the light will flow through the each frame. The final image on the ceiling will be an image. The sculpture will be conceptually make a painting out of light and video on the ceiling.
