Independent Project

Brainstorming?
When I looked up dissociates meaning there was a sentence example that appeared. Voices should not dissociate from their social context. So an interactive idea I had was how to place that sentence into action? How can you dissociate voices? Or dissociate images? Esp. from their social context? With the use of microphones and equalizers transmitted through projections in a darkened room I think you can take the sounds/voices created and dissociate them through distortion and manipulation.

What the project entails?
Taking photographic images of the viewers as the filter in over time and layering them over each other as translucent images. As more people filter in, the more the time-lapse trigger is set to capture at what rate or speed.

What is the meaning of the project?
The idea is that our presence can be lasting and can be recorded. That an image can become dissociated from the social context that it is usually placed in and be portrayed and created by the more “social flow of viewers” are introduced into an environment- the more our presence begins to vanish.

What are the technical requirements?
A few cables
1 projector
1 camera set up on time lapse

What needs to be done?
