MFA Studio Work
In a large portion of my undergraduate work I used layered screens and sculptures to project videos on to. With that work I explored the different ways videos (moving light) could be manipulated not only with video editing software but with physical structures. With my MFA work I apply and experiment with some of the same techniques discovered while studying as an undergraduate student.
The project below is the first to come out of my first semester in graduate school. As you can see I enjoy building things. The table was built to hold two 3ft x 4ft 3/8 inch thick plates of glass. The piece is made up of two plates of glass and two very thin sheets of plexiglass. The plexiglass is at the same dimensions as the glass, minus the thickness. The glass and plexiglass are treated with paint and at points during the video you can see through sections of the screens. The glass screens are at the front and back of the table while the plexiglass is in the middle at the same distance. The video is shown below in its original state. When it is projected onto the sculpture you experience more depth and texture to the moving light. The layered screens are very reflective which causes a back projection effect. Right now I am working on ways to make interactive video work without using a computer to generate the effects. For instance one of the techniques I am working on uses circuit bent televisions and AM/FM radio waves. The sound manipulates the visual.
