Process
- projector machine was set up
- experiment with feathers, transparence, ribbon, flowers, bubble wrap, drawing
- group of 7 – split with first and second year students – great to meet the 1st and some 2nd year online
- we all used one word to describe a tree, and we were to explore this with creating a slide
- pieces directly into the projector
- by placing pieces directly into the projector, this then allowed for people in the group to take videos
- it was then decided for all to create slides or a video and we would import into imovie
- working together to edit the video, playing around with length / cropping / sound
- text was used initially, for the word we used, however we all thought this was too distracting from the actual visual
- text was removed and to add an interesting element, each person’s work started with the clicking sound of a slide projector
- the final outcome was challenging in that all the work was very different but I think with the clicking sound of the slide machine works. It allows for the visual to be different, and it also connects the functional element of a slide machine. It has a nostalgic feel by the sound of the slide machine but very contemporary by being in a digital format
- the video was named ‘see’ after an artwork that has this text within the piece
Unfortunately, I didn’t get a copy of our final work. However, please see below my work in progress:
The process I enjoyed using was marker drawing directly onto clear plastic. Once both sides of the plastic touched, the shapes made form the ink from the marker would change. I thought this was an organic process not knowing what to expect in terms of the shapes within the slides.
