one persons trash equals another persons...art project


I ended up compromising between my ideas and projected onto objects I found around my house that I painted white. Everything from wine bottles, to Styrofoam to silly string. Some of the objects are not fully covered in paint but with the projection on it you can't even tell. I plan on continuing the project by adding things to make it much bigger. The visuals I used are by Formom Productions and the song is DJ Shadow Fixed Income. To improve on this I plan on adding to the structure and making my own video to display on the objects. Here it is so far...

Project #2

For the next project I want to play with projecting images onto objects. I am thinking about setting up different toys and projecting across them to make shadows on the image on the screen behind. The image I'm thinking of is a time lapse of a city that I will create myself. I will have some of them hanging and the rest scattered about the floor or the table that I use for my project. My brother has a lot of dinosaurs and other things from our childhood that I think would be fun to use. I think I'm also just going to play with mirrors and light to project shadows onto the walls maybe instead of using a projected image.


The more I think about this project and research videos online I also think it would be cool to project images onto a sculpture or onto different white objects making an abstract composition. I was really inspired by a performance I saw recently by an artist called Phadroid. He projected images onto a girl covered in a white sheet. As she danced the images followed her.
