Project03 Final

Synopsis

My idea is called the shape and space. It is based on my original two ideas. I create the monitor with 2 shapes, the heart shape in front view and the letter shape in side view. So when people walk to different side they can see different shape. When the projector plays the moving images on it, it will create the shadow on the wall and outline what shape is it.  Because the monitor is not a real flat monitor, it is a kind of box create by two shapes, so it shows up two screens which are the wall and the shape monitor surface in one side when projection on it. That creates the depth of field from projector to the wall. It connects the object and the background together so it looks interesting.

Methodology

During the projection, it shows continuing moving images from the front view to side view, so it becomes a three-dimensional monitor object. In this case, every monitor box needs to use two projectors, and there are three monitor boxes, which means that it needs six projectors in total. The three monitor letters are “ART”, combine with the heart shape, it create the “I love Art”

feeling to highlight that we are Multimedia and Digital Arts students. Depending on the moving images, there are so many functions to play with the monitor objects and the background wall.

Planning

I plan there are two monitor objects at two corners, and the other one is in front of one side wall with forty-five degrees.

For the two monitor objects at the corners, it is the normal projection. For the one with forty-five degrees monitor object, because the background wall is not parallel so that will stretch the scale of the moving images, it is interesting when showing some long scale images in this way. This is a draft-planning picture, and at the real exhibition, it should be more space between the monitor objects to let audience walk around and check out all the moving images.

Testing

After the planning, I made a little model and went to exhibition room using projector test the effects.

This is the model I have made, the left one is the front view and the right one is the side view.

When I test the object, I find out that it will be interesting if background wall is not flat, so we can keep it in mind, maybe it is useful for building the real exhibition room.
