Video/Projector/Light/Drawings Presenting

So... i have spent the last two weeks sanding and painting (and sanding again) a couple of walls in the new studio space. This was in an attempt to make some of the walls into a nice smooth surface to do my drawings onto. After i did a trail run on one of the already painted walls it destroyed 5 pens because the surface was so rough so i thought it would be a good idea to prepare my own surface. It turned out to be VERY time consuming.

I have been really enjoying this process of drawing and using photos to create a combination of drawn and photographic works. I really like the way that the image reveals the photograph when the light is obscured by something, and playing with the accuracy of the drawings hidden under the projections.

WORKING DRAWINGS:
So this is a drawing of what i initially wanted to create for presentation...


This is the second diagram of the set up i wanted initially:

third diagram:

The diagonals are the path of people moving through the projectors beams.

I wanted to create a space where people who moved into the space would obscure the light from the projectors and thus reveal the drawings underneath. This also creates quite an uncomfortable feeling as you always try and get out of the way of the light/feel bad about obscuring it.
When i talked to Rachel about these drawings we discussed the frustration that is created when you cannot see all of the image at once as well as blocking the light. This made me think about having the drawings only partially finished, for example the power lines not all there, not totally drawn in. This would only be revealed once the projected image is obscured or blocked.

So there becomes a double frustration - you cannot see all of the projected image (if there are a few peopl in the space) yet when you block out all of the projection the drawing hidden underneth is not totally finished, and in fact varies in its faithfulness to the lines of the projection...
