Process Post #3

All set up! I really love the way this final project turned out. I think it fits very well with my theme and what I wanted to try and get across. The only thing I wish I could have done better was make it bigger.

Artist Research - Olafur Eliasson

Image
Olafur Eliasson The piece that I chose for this artist research for this week is from artist Olafur Eliasson. The piece is titled "The New Planet" which was installed in 2014. I was originally very attracted to this piece because of the interesting chandelier type installation that is hanging in the middle of this room. What really made me love this piece is the light the comes from it, and the complete environment that it creates. Instead of it being a projection, the environment is created by light diffraction. I love how the focus of this piece is around the viewer's movement and relation to the constantly moving and spinning structure.  This reminded me a little of my concept because of the lights that this piece shows off reminds me of space and the type of feel/environment that I wanted to create. It has inspired me slightly to add something to me installation in place of a strobe light, to maybe have some type of diffracted light to create the scene of spa...

Artist Researc

For my last artists research, I wanted to find an artist that brings projection mapping to life more than what we ever thought. I wanted to find an artist that could show me how projection mapping could be used outside of our projects, outside of just being in a gallery. I found an artist named Ricardo Rivera and he is most known for his piece called "Electric Desert." He uses projection mapping to portray an insane, dreamlike environment for his viewers in an actual desert. People are allowed to come, walk through the desert and experience a dream like place while they are awake. I was in complete and total awe when I saw it and I had to share because this piece brought meaning to my work. http://javamagaz.com/?p=5369

Chapter 4 Reading Response

This Chapter 4 reading was definitely a tedious read, but really opened my eyes to the true purpose of what installation art is supposed to do. I really connected with the idea of the "Activation and Decentring." This explanation of what installation art's purpose is for the viewer is much more clear and concise now. I liked the idea of "activating" the viewing subject into the art because its makes senes that the viewer would get a more more intense, sensory experience because they are becoming immersed in the artwork instead of just simply looking at it. The need to walk through and immerse oneself into the projection brings the idea so much more to life. Projection artists can use this idea of activating a viewer to relay important and deep rooted messages about serious topics. This relates almost to my project 2 if I were to let people walk into my room during my projection. The idea becomes more real once you're immersed in it and the message will sti...
