It's 100209 and I'm Posting

The main focus right now with my work is a collaboration with Luke M. in which we are doing a series of large projections throughout KC. With that said, I was just going to list some current ideas I am working on.

Calling [You] Out

Project in downtown Kansas City, "calling out" people who are in the trifecta of Space-Viewer-Artist.

Basically there is a triangle which I have been looking at for how the space informs the viewer, the viewer informs the space, the artist informs the viewer, the viewer informs the artist, and the space informs the artist, as the artist also informs the space.

While this may all sound confusing, it is far from it. Basically there are two people with large spot lights at least one story above people walking downtown. There are 2 still cameras for documentation (D-30-90) and two video cameras. The light will be held tightly to the artists chest, and as they see people below who are heavily being influenced by space or people, or who are influencing, or who do not seem to fit, they will be "Called Out", or spot lit. The documentation is the main part of the piece, and has been carefully planned.

*Currently there is some worry as to whether I should be spot lighting or behind a documenting camera. I feel that I should spot light, and I have set some very, very specific guidelines for the documenters, but I worry that people will not want to help if their voice is taken out too much from the camera.

Spatial Light Mapping

(part 1)

Create a 3d space in After Effects (grayscale) and project into a fitting 3d space. Light as a measurement of volume of space.

Industrial Projection

Single Channel Video

Creating, Altering and destroying Place.

This video will be one long shot, set in a factory, and focused on six tables arranged in a pyramid, with one being the closest to the camera.

I will enter the frame and set each place at the table with a plate, knife, and fork. Then, once the place is set, I will walk off frame, jump on a bull dozer, and clear each row of tables out of the frame.

This video will then be projected on a factory in KC.

There will be much more details, and more work coming soon, I am waiting to scan everything.
