Sound and Image Festival 2020
I spend the week preparing for what to experiment in the gallery. The video projected onto the material was more interesting, exploring the space within the piece, I used past images to create a short video. Although the piece are simple, having the image rotate zooming in and out, my intention was to see how would the image distort onto the material. Would it highlight the texture? Perhaps projecting the photogrammetry scan back onto the mod roc would show two different prospects of mod roc, from my experience of the material. Having both my experience of the physical and digital aspect of the material together.

Firstly I tried placing the mod roc on by the window to see if it would be better to utilise the space, maybe then creating a model that covers the whole area? I projection mapped onto the mod roc and because the clay is left white, the projection was clearer, with no tinted blue colour like what happened in the plastic experiment. As a group we were still deciding on where we should set up our work, keeping in mind where the plugs were, the spacing between each work and how the work interacts with the room. The textures were more 'successful' in the sense of what I am trying to communicate (visually showing my experience of the material) more so than the Unity show. The Unity video although interesting, took the focus off the mod roc and onto the game, giving the sense of the material being a frame. If that was the case then the material of the mod roc it self would render unimportant and the video could be shown on a screen instead. However the mapped image of the video with the shape of the mod roc was interesting, taking a 3D model into a 2D shape (Figure 4).

Attaching the model onto the wall was the next step, to see what difference it would make not only for how the projection changes but also how the audience interacts with the piece. Out of the two places, on the wall seemed more appropriate as the spacing between each other's work was more even and the audience have more space to view the piece from multiple angles. Another video was created from another mod roc photogrammetry image, including zooming in and out of the image while rotating. The aim was to give the sense of movement but within the space exploring a different perspective of the material. The image zoomed in was aimed to highlight the texture of the material, bringing together texture and form.
