Mini-Projection Ideas

As a group we have decided to revert back to our original idea of projection onto a structure to improve the general area’s perception and emotional connection. For this task, the initial idea is to make a projection onto a small area of the old theatre as it is not only central to the location, but also has a massive amount of history attached to it. The projection is also going to reflect a constant variable to the area in some way, from an input source. A basic idea of this would be to have a small projection of silhouettes dancing in one of the theatres windows, and this would be attached to a wind speed measuring device, then the winder the area was the more distorted, through a ‘TV static’ effect, the image becomes. This is one example of visually displaying the general wind speed in the area, whilst also improving the areas aesthetic quality. The same idea could also be used to show the communities feelings towards certain issues by having a simple form on a website, which has a series of questions with both a positive and negative perspective, which is then calculated and fed through as the input, causing a change to the image to represent these feelings. At the moment these are obviously just thoughts on the problem. The idea needs to be fully explored to create a solid foundation from which to build as we neither have the money or the scope to be able to achieve this as successfully as a project like ‘D Tower’
