Final Piece - Digital Ego

This is my final piece plus a few extra experiments. I'm happy with it but want to make it even better and more polished for the final show in Graves Gallery so I'll be making a few more tweaks over the next week.

In college assessing almost finished final piece 18th

I took my equipment in from home to see if I could get it all set up correctly and measure its dimensions. It was also a good opportunity to assess what needs to be finished on it and to show off what's been done so far to Carole!

Fran advised that I create a Project map to recall the sequence of events and thoughts that brought me to my final piece. In this video I recap an overview of my project and edited in videos and pictures to support what I'm saying.

'Photos of the Female Form Dressed Only in Light' By Dani Olivier

 In his striving to create a nude portrait “that has not been shot before,” Paris-based photographer Dani Olivier sets the female form aglow with lighted geometric patterns. Using a projector in a darkened studio, he takes the flesh as a canvas, alternately illuminating and concealing its contours.
Olivier began working with light projections some eight years ago, and he’s been refining the process ever since. He prefers to collaborate with dancers and other women who move to the beat of their own drums, whose bodies can ripple through space alongside the projected motif. The designs themselves, mostly abstract, are rarely repeated; each woman generally has her own markings, worn like a signature and constructed to suit the nuances of her silhouette.

 I like the creative usage of projections to emphasise and abstractify the 3D Human form.
This ties in with my ideas to project onto a head.
