Week 10 : Analysis + Feedback

Assessment 2 Brief

Develop an installation based response to a specific location within a building used by the DARK MOFO festival run by MONA in Hobart. The installation will explore and accentuate the spatial properties of that location, using a video projector to send custom graphics simultaneously onto different planes of a built structure.

  • Using this information, each group will develop an installation concept for their location
  • A physical model will be built to represent the festival location, and suit the installation concept
  • The installation concept will be expressed through the generation of relevant graphics, later animated and manipulated to suit the physical model.
  • Projection mapping testing of video onto the physical model will refine ideas about the production of graphics relevant to the built structure’s shape, colour, geometry and materials.

The Projected installation will be presented during the final presentation in week 12. Students will have the option of live sequencing a series of clips using video performance software – or playing a single 1 minute video file.

Analysis of Example Video Installations

Assessment criteria :

  • suitability to brief
  • installation concept
  • creation of video or graphics – relevant to the concept, site and model
  • exploration of the site and model’s – shape, colour, geometry and materials
  • choreography of all of the above to time – how do you use time as a way of exploring the above?
  • correct export specifications (uploaded to google_drive folder)
  • clearly presented installation, and showcase of ideas and process

Five Example videos :

Porta Esta Lar

Plane Scape

Mécaniques Discursives at Lux Valence

The Ark

Group Based Projection Mapping

We’ll have 3 projectors available again, which we’ll rotate use of… 

and I’ll ask each group about specific current challenges you are having… 

  • technical 
  • conceptual 
  • aesthetic 
  • as well as asking about your timeline for the next 3 weeks…
