Project 2 Proposal

For project 2, I wanted to go on a little bit more of serious route with my projection mapping. Considering we are using space as one of the main aspects of this installation, I wanted to find something that reaches deep on the most simple levels. For this project, I plan to use my bedroom for my environment and focus on the idea of rape and sexual assault prevention. This is a topic that I hold very dear to my heart that I feel people like to put on the back burner because it makes them uncomfortable. I want this project to make people feel a certain way and to start a conversation about sexual assault prevention.

I want to map out my bedroom as a sort of dungeon, juxtaposing the ideas of safe space and a dangerous space. I want it to symbolize how the safest place, like your bedroom, can instantly become a nightmare due to being sexually assaulted there. I want to use videos of what represent the before, the during, and after sexual assault.

Installation Directions

If this installation were to be featured in a gallery, there would need to be specific instructions on how to set up this installation if I was not there. There are definitely some key components to this installation that would need to go right in order for this project to look correct. First of all, the two "Grave" pits would need to be placed down next to each other. You drop the two bins first, then gently lay the grave plots on top of the bins. They stay in place because of the front base. Next, you fill each grave with the designated props, each in their own bag with the year labeled (15, 16, 17, 18). After everything is in place, you put the projector in the taped off area and plug it in. Connect the projector to my computer and open Mad Mapper. Open "Final Installation" on the desktop and set the mirror display to full screen, and let it run baby!

Process Post #2

A plot of foam board to act as my graveyard topper. I have gathered all of my supplies for my graves and have also bought stakes to keep the graves in the foam board. I want this project to be more of a memorial than a creepy graveyard feel, so I am picking music to accompany my projection - possibly something from RENT :)

About Me

My name is Micheal Wheeler and I am a senior Digital Arts Major at the University of Tampa. I am originally from Chicago, Illinois and desperately left that place due to the snow...Palm trees definitely treat me a lot nicer. In the art artworld, I love digital illustration and interior design, as well as a little creative coding.

I am a full-time student whenever I'm not serving tables at Roccos's Tacos and Tequila Bar and actively participate on my campus. I am the Risk Prevention and Wellness Director for my fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau, and also serve as the Director of Philanthropy for Order of Omega, the National Greek Honors Society at UT. I am really looking forward to this class because I have never done anything like this before in all my years of art. It makes me really excited because I love learning about new mediums b
