Zoo Quest

I know I shouldn't really use this blog to just share random junk with you but I've had a very exciting day today! My family came up to visit from Newcastle and we went to the zoo! Unfortunately we couldn't see the pandas as we didn't really know we would be going and couldn't book our panda viewing in advance. It was still pretty great though as the weather was so sunny and hot  and a lot of the animals had decided to come outside. 

A Lack of Video Wizardry

I was playing around with the placement and movement of the projections of the disks and I remembered my camera could do videos! 

But don't get the popcorn in just yet, I can't actually get the videos to upload. 

Hopefully they will appear very soon..

Excitement or Delirium?

I'm not sure whether I'm crazy excited or completely delirious, I think I might be a bit of both!

After I had taken the last photographs I popped down one of the disks onto the projector and the image created on the wall showed amazing detail. After some really basic tests (what must have been weeks ago) I wrote this off as a pointless avenue of exploration and decided that it just wouldn't work. I was wrong. 

The patterns look so different to how they do on the glass- they look a lot more geometric which I am very pleased with. The colour also has a huge effect on the feeling of the piece. Maybe quite predictably I prefer the monochromatic one. 

I can't believe I've only just stumbled across this now, less then 12 hours to go before the hand in! This has completely thrown everything open again, just when I thought I had narrowed it all down to some kind of definite direction. 

Projections: Round Two

Some photographs of the projections made using the glass from the final round of testing. 

Firstly from the small test tiles:

And then from the two large disks:
