From the day that I was assigned this project, to the day before I have to present, this project has changed quite a bit. The theme has kind of stayed the same, but it has evolved into something that I believe works decently well with how installation art is supposed to work. The whole idea for my project was to show how prime essentials in life, such as food and water, are taken for granted while other things like apps and online shopping are valued as more important to us. I emphasized this, by videotaping me wasting each prime essential and then projecting it onto the object accordingly. Hopefully, by seeing each item be wasted, it will allow the viewers to have a better grasp on the message this very message that I’m trying to convey.
I really liked how this project turned out and I think it really gave me a better idea on what exactly installation art is. Everyone sees a particular object differently and associates it with different meanings and I think by projecting onto an object, you are controlling, and somewhat changing, that association/perspective. In other words, you are giving another meaning objects and I really think that’s something that makes installation art so intriguing. I had a lot of fun using madmapper and projectors and am looking forward to the next project!
