Brutus Faust, Animated text for screen or projection
Saw an Ann Hamilton piece at Mass MOCA with text traveling across the floor, over the viewer, up the wall and across the ceiling with bean bag chairs on the ground. Very effective. Or maybe outdoors?
I like the star wars roll out. A very long parenthetical, which leaves one in a "then what" frame. This seems more like a projection than an AV work and might be best deployed as Fawn suggests outdoors (as it has monumental timbre of beginnings - as of movie) but then how to make it visible in daylight - is an issue?
I love the visual potential for this. Scrolling text --- I could see it in a darkened large storefront window, in a dark space - (though too dramatic? maybe as part of a group show?), or outside would be less expected too. (The Mass MOCA show Fawn notes was amazing!)
MAYBE: yes video and art animations but it should be clear these are the artist's personal words not speaking for all of the Occupy Movement.
ReplyDeleteYes. This would work well within a group exhibition.
ReplyDeleteOn the fence. Maybe if it was a room size projection?
