Plan B Projection into mist test

Projected my moving Odessa sequence into an area filled with 'fog' (using a glucose smoke machine) with a data projector set at ceiling height onto a large screen. The definition of the image was lost in the fog, though the colours and movement made for an interesting, immersive environment, but not in way i wanted; instead of being immersed in the scene, the viewer is only immersed in coloured light. I imagine that to achieve the definition of the image I would need to project onto a flat surface such as a water screen-more of an ourdoor big project but definitely something to work towards in future. for now the lightbox is taking priority and I'm trialing various printing options on transparency.

Planning and presentation options- Lightbox

With two potential final works on the go right now it is all about seeing what is going to work and what isn't. When I initially chose this SITE space(painting studio) I had in mind an idea for a large lightbox in a pitch black room. The plan is for 4 x-ray boxes which will each be covered by a segment of the larger Odessa scene. The image will be layered up, the whole work being comprised of 5 or more layers on transparency. The transparency is available in a size large enough to cover each lightbox.


Proposed idea 4 x (500mm by 1470mm) lightboxes with transparency



Random lightbox ideas


The projection into a misted area is still a possibility, though perhaps a bit too big for my prescribed space. So maybe I will have to think outside the box.
