Progress is being made towards the work that I am making for my installation at the Bluecoat next month (since the start of June the opening date of 26 July has seemed intimidatingly close).
Last weekend I met with my good friend Gareth Houghton to edit a the film work that I am making for a 6-screen installation in the Bluecoat. This isn’t actually part of the re:view bursary, but it’s all linked in. It turns out that in editing it, we’ve created a piece of work that can be scaled up or down in future, which is something that I was hopeful of the digital piece too, so that is exciting.
Then last Monday I met with Alasdair again to talk through the practicalities of how the programming is going. He’s added in some of the arrows that I want to use in it, but the most exciting thing is that he has set up the programme so that I can create a site responsive drawing with it – which is really great, because that is how I’ve made my analogue work in the past.
We’re meeting again today, at the Bluecoat to do some testing, so I’ll get to learn about how the camera tracking will work and how the projections look in the space. Things are progressing!
