Fine Art Sculpture/Lens Day 3

 

I used my sculpture the telescope to project through using the projector. Doing this I was able to move the sculpture around and reveal or hid areas of the videos I took earlier in the week on day 1, this added to the videos creating more of an impact and adding more of a dynamic element to the sculptures.

After taking the videos I then edited them (edited versions above) on snapchat adding filters to them and removing background noise. This helped create more depth to the videos, if I was to do this again, I would make the room darker by blocking out the windows more as I would like the projection to be more of a spotlight with a high contrast.

Artists that I researched were Tony Oursler and Diana Thater for both of their interesting use of spotlighting sculptures.

Tony Oursler work also has such a dynamic element to it all, making the object appear alive but only it is lit up clearly separating it from the rest of the space which is something I really enjoy about his work that it clearly separates the sculpture and comes alive in its own space. His work also has a really wonderful use of colour which adds a sense of magic and wonder.

Diana Thater works as an interesting use of space and scale with the projecting slightly misshapen image into a space that is typically too small for it giving it a sense of popping out at you and connecting you to it making you feel more involved with the work. The work has a sense of enveloping you inside it.
