idea one.
concept: traditional painting with frame introduced in a modern way.
a textured canvas, or just a gilded frame with a video serving as the painting. it is no longer a static work made from oil paint, but a dynamic work that has the ability to change over time, and the viewer could even interact with it.
an interactive self portrait. the viewer stands in front of a camera, which projects their face into a frame, and motion and sound alter the video feed
materials :
project, frame(s), pedestal to support projector, possibly a canvas,
could utilize triggers on Isadora to recognize motion and changes in sound and affect video feed
idea two.
concept: a calligramme, use a short calligramme by Guillaume Apollinaire (who created them) and visualize it, adapting modern technology to text
i want to merge text and object, projecting a video onto porcelain slip-casted toy soldiers molded from authentic WWI era (the same war Apollinaire fought in)
literally:make soldiers from porcelain, overlay the pristine white soldiers with WWI clips with garnet-colored mask over the looping videos. i dont want any sound, just silence and looping video. well, maybe there will be some sound, perhaps patriotic songs from the era. one idea was to use a laser cutter to precisely cut out the text, or have the laser etch the text into glass or some other material and use it as a back drop and appropriate apollinaire's work. its interesting because apollinaire himself was an artist, of words, but known for his criticism and writings that made Picasso famous.
stay tuned for idea three.
