Brainstorm
Agoraphobia - Any irrational fear that keeps one from going outside…
City scene (mixed media): either a large image (wall size to fill space covered by projector) with some collage prints and relief or, a city built out of foam-core with buildings drawn/collage and printed on the façade. If these ideas fail, I will simply create a partial printed/drawn landscape and create the rest of it digitally using the scanned photos/drawings.
Working elements for projection:
-Fixed background drawing on the wall is based on photos taken so I can animate digital layers to create some movements/dimension
-Animated graffiti slithering across the buildings, rich colors
-Creatures coming out of sewers
-Play with weather and sky
-Maybe ground cracking and turn into liquid
-Shadows creeping
-Maybe play with age of buildings…
-Not sure I want people, but maybe the shadows can be enough of a “presence”
-If I can figure out how it integrate video… reflections of a metro going by
-Take photos of same scenes day and night?
-Play with textures and scanned newspapers
Concepts explored/working themes:
-Attacking my own insecurities regarding my limited knowledge of the medium I need to complete the previous list of components for this project.
-Easily editing and resizing of digital world vs. the rigidity of analogue
-Fears and anxiety/panic attack
-Social phobia/agoraphobia
-Overwhelming downtown scene from a disordered perspective
-The idea of graffiti as a projection... questioning the very definition as it is no longer permanent or invasive
-Maybe printing a still of the work that was taken during the projection
Potential complications:
-Links between the digital and traditional medium/challenges involved to make it “one” piece.
-Attempting to use unfamiliar software for animation and/or video
-Probably adding sound (again, new to me)
