- you need to post a description! (even if you are still figuring it out – write…something!) - without a written description I have to comment based on what it is I took from your verbal presentation – it sounds like you are planning to make a work that, on the surface speaks to the frame of the camera & the degree in which it illuminates or obfuscates perception…but which, actually speaks to our greater experience within the world. - A very ambitious project! I like that you are starting with process first – with a series of attempts at visualizing the very thing you are making a work about. I was reading your intended process as if you were preparing to undergo a series of scientific experiments in a way – attempts to visualize and document the limits of our perception. I like this idea – a series of experiments presented as an overall statement or essay. You should research scientific method – the steps scientists follow when undergoing an experiment – set up a degree of rigour for yourself – rules to help guide you. - I did wonder about the object you choose to work with in the first scenario you are developing? Why a chess piece? it feels a bit obvious to me. I think you can think about this more. Perhaps the object furthers your conceptual framework in a way that begins to make sense as we move through the series of works (videos/shots) – so that – in the moment of watching this first scene it seems to be a random object…but as we continue through with the subsequent scenes we begin to apply higher meaning to that initial object based on what we see next. - Some things to look at: - works by semiconductor (we watched their ‘black rain’ in class) http://www.semiconductorfilms.com/ - Ted Victoria – and his camera obscura-type works – these are projections of the objects themselves – ie: no camera used to generate the image…the projections are like lens-based camera obscuras - http://www.tedvictoria.com I especially thinking of his light bulb works: http://srandsgallery.com/index.php?/artists/ted_victoria/works/lightbulbs_male_and_female/13/ - http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b2wnsGyByXg/TlVdPUfI0wI/AAAAAAAAAww/xsPCjaohEIE/s1600/Ted%2BVictoria%2Blightbulbs.png - -
