Lux_Project 2018

Testing the projection from above the tunnel We re-build the now strengthen tunnel but this time we had it lay faced-down. Imitating a projection from above. The aim was to try and cover the whole top part of the tunnel. Experiencing an 'aquarium' from the inside Problem! We noticed that there are two stripes of blue and green light being projected out.

Workshop with Mike Bridgeman Opportunity to add onto the CoCA "pavillion" at LUX. Forgot to capture photos/videos of the workshop. Mike gave us an intro to what VJing is, what type of works he as done and where, what is expected from a VJ artist, What they can earn. VJing is a broad designation for real-time visual performance. Characteristics of VJing are the creation or manipulation of imagery in real-time through technological mediation and for an audience, in synchronization to music. VJing often takes place at events such as concerts, nightclubs, music festivals and sometimes in combination with other performative arts. Photos/videos below: Mike showing us a demonstration of how video mapping is done on objects. One the video mapping process is done, the projection on an object looks clean and interesting to look it.

Before class, we saw that the table areas of the tunnel were falling apart. After class, we went to get the fabrics sewn together.

We purchased materials from Bunnings warehouse: to build a life-size prototype of the Taranaki wharf tunnel. Measured the width of the tunnel We started off by estimating how high we wanted the prototype to be. Build a frame out of conduit pipes. Folding the frost cloth, we created a slide-in hole for the pipes to go in. During that time, we didn't have access to a sewing machine, our only option was to use masking tape. To keep the tunnel in place, we tied the bottom of each frame to the table legs using cable ties No access to a 5meter ladder, we decided that the best way to prototype the projection onto the fabric was from the side. Projection view from the inside we wanted to create an aquarium like experience.
