Video Installation

Since I have experimented with video installation, I started looking for other places that would be ideal for video installation. Ideally, the place needed to be dark enough for the projection to work, however I feel that I could use a place that  receives some light, depending on what the installation's context was about.

The first place I looked at was the small space at the back on the 3D studio. When lit, the studio is very bright, and when the lights are off, the room becomes very dark. 

In this room, I feel that it could be a good idea to project onto the ceiling, which is made up of corrugated metal and beams. I feel that it would be a good place to project an installation if the topic was dark, industrial, or for contrast, something very bright and 'bubblegum'

The second place was in The Mount, which is a small studio space. Adjoined to this is a small 'conservatory'. I thought about projecting into a small space, as it would distort the image and mean that the viewer would have to move around to be able to see it, therefore meaning they have to interact. 

The last place was taking from my experimenting with installation, where i projected onto the ceiling, which hit the lights and distorted the image, as well as reflected light onto the walls. I like the effect it created, as it seemed to sparkle as the image changed. 

Some of the other places I chose to use was to project onto material, such as curtains and blinds, which would distort the image. When projecting onto blinds, it means that when the blinds are open, light would only show on the curtain panels, and would also be slightly distorted.
