I have my projector and the DVD player out, now is the task of finding where it will go. To balance out my work I want to have it on the wall as I feel it gives off a stronger effect on there larger scale. I originally had music on my film but I’m worried that might take the viewers concentration off my work and onto to repetitive music which was behind it. I do feel the music works well with it but due to the film being on loop I feel it may be distracting to the viewer after some time. I spoke to a few people in the studio about it and they said that they felt the music wasn’t necessary as it is the process of what I am doing I am showing and the music isn’t too important to it.
I feel that by having the projection on the wall it will balance everything out so not all my work consists of installations or free standing pieces, and also the scale will give a stronger effect I think. I did some arranging with the projector as to where it would go.
Yet again I encountered another problem. I put the projector under my cabinet and projected into on the long wall. However due to the angle of it it didn’t produce a true rectangle image. So that idea was out.
I tried projecting it onto the small wall near the door where the cabinet currently was to see if it worked over there, however it really wasn’t the right place for a projection I felt. It just completely took over the space and was not right next to the door.
The best place I found was right at the top of my wall as I was able to tilt it to projector down as well as the projector being hidden up, out of the way. Only one problem was getting up there to turn it on and off everyday. I spoke to Reuben today who said it was possible to leave it constantly on, so that solved that problem. I just need to get a piece of wood to be screwed in to make the projector and DVD player safe up there so that they wouldn’t fall down.
That is tomorrows plan!
