May There Be Light
A Two-Part Workshop on Designing and Planning Large Scale Projection Art
Presented by Christy Chan
An intro course on designing and planning a large-scale, site-specific, outdoor projection. We’ll look at the history of projection art and its cultural implications; talk about site selection; aesthetic and spatial considerations; methodologies for prepping images; and documentation approaches. There will be homework assigned in the first session, for critique in the second session. Note: there will not be any instruction on video editing or video mapping software. We enthusiastically encourage participation by BIPOC and LGBTQIA folks.
