As some of you already have seen, I'm working with videofeedback or videoloop systems. As most of us I started with the basics : a TV and videocamera, which you can see here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCdrQUyCSTo
I wanted to make an interactive video installation where the viewer would also be the creator. Everybody starts from zero.. no light at all. You enter the room with a candle, 'till you come to a certain spot (between the camera and projectionscreen) and like out of nowhere a ball of light (BoL) appears, which you can then manipulate.
After working with the abstract BoL I wanted to use other excisting images in the feedback. In this example I used a dia-projection together with the videofeedback : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QD-L4EEW-I
This gives a whole other dimension to the photograph on the dia. It looks like the dia is no longer a still image, but is moving again..
(srry, not the best quality or example on YouTube)
Now I've come to the point where I replaced the projectionscreen by a human body. Which seems to open up a lot of new ways of drawing with light.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqQdVO29Tzc in this first example I just made the same feedback images I did before, only this time on a human body.
But this next example (to me) is more interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGTYz5JAnVM here you can realy see the interaction between body and light. When the body moves the light changes, and when the light changes the model tries to draw something different. At one time she (the model) said to me that it felt like the light was seducing her, and made her body feel all 'tinkely'.. :oops:
:idea: My next step will be using these 'findings' in an experimental film, which will be more 'narrative'. I want to create a feeling, an experience..
This is where I could use a few pointers: what do you feel about this project? Would you leave it as an interactive installation? Or take it to 'another level'? What about sound? Does it need any? etc...
Any comments or questions you might have, please post 'em here !
Thx,
Hey all,
As some of you already have seen, I'm working with videofeedback or videoloop systems. As most of us I started with the basics : a TV and videocamera, which you can see here :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCdrQUyCSTo
Then I removed the TV screen, replacing it with a videoprojector (beamer) and a big screen. This way I could put more detail in the drawings and even use my hands and arms to infuence the drawing, or even a screwdriver as you can see here :
