Mike and I have been continuing our progress with our series of video projections up at the Bronx Museum with Acconci studios. We decided that some new, better footage was required, so we filmed a new series of objects with the intention of keeping it purely abstract instead of the human gestural moments that were too recognizable based on anatomy. Some of the experiments are below. The footage was than edited and multiplied to highlight certain aspects of the architecture of the corian structure.

deathstar
12072009
Deathstar Automata is a modular video “pod” that can be reconfigured and built as a simultaneous sculptural wall divider and multi-plane projection surface. Its form and content is a physical manifestation of a branching recursion. As a video sculpture it utilizes a geometrical shape as the means for creating modular yet singular mutli-plane projections. On the technical side, it will use an Augmented Reality library as the means for letting the camera know where to project the moving image.

self-portrait
10132009
a self-portrait posed through a forensic exploration of my uniqueness, and how body elements of hair and blood are derived and have roots in cultural, historical, and genetic footprints. References to many female artists who use manipulation of the body, Kiki Smith, Lorna Simpson, Adrian Piper, were considered. Using the metaphor of the hourglass to represent the passage of my time as a living, breathing, functioning human being. Filmed my hair and drops of ink in water using the high speed camera at 420 fps.

Video Sculpture Assignment #1:
In the vein of the Constructivists, I wanted to use light to interact with other mediums. My challenge here was to take something that was existing and use light to emphasize its geometric/structural form. The second goal was to give it utilitarian purpose. Hence Window Vision => Light Sculpture => Coffee Table.
