As part of the ‘Contemporary
Art in the Public Realm’ module in Interactive media, we were given a brief to
explore the concepts of scaling, miniature and invisibility within the Hunt
museum. We have decided to create an instillation piece that would display a
catalogue of the pieces that reflect the concept of the projects outline
mentioned above. We propose to build an interactive table that would project
the objects we choose onto the ceiling within the Captains room. This
interactive table will be 24 inches square and a height of 35 inches. There
will be four buttons on the piece that will allow the user in interactive with
the projections, to choose an era with the catalogs of work, to stop the frame
it will be on and to move back and forward. The projection will be animated to
circulate on the roof and this will be very subtle so that it would not affect
anybody with epilepsy. The interactive table will be either a dark green in
color or black that it is in fitting with the color scheme within the room.
This video show the area in which the projection table will be. I feel that the design of the table will have to be subtle so that it fits with the feel and color of the room. It should be visible, but invisible at the same time.
This image is the picture of the ceiling, where the projection will circulate around the centre piece.
