Today I spent time moving a projector around a room while I filmed and projected live from the installation. I found that when projected on to a wall with the projector on the floor; with room for people to walk in front of it; the pierced marks are projected onto them. They become “inside” the projection like they would have been inside the installation. This is an encouraged interaction, which in turn relates to the interaction they would have with the blog.
This also (although I must do more reading) brings ideas of Freud’s transparent nature of projection, and it acting as an “externalisation of an internal process.” A transfer of thoughts and ideas (literally here) onto another person.
I also practiced placing blockages on the lens of the projector in order to make the image more immersed on the wall, avoiding the harsh lines of the camera lens. I need to decide whether this is the right decision, because if it was viewed in reality, the hanging paper would take the same form, almost like a “page,” another communicative device. What other meanings does the camera eye and frame bring?
