Hey guys, I'm Tim Difato. I have worked on several projection designs in the past on multiple screen formats and sizes. Majority of my design and work is video based and comes out of after effects so it is crucial that I learn how to present my work professionally through any medium. (i.e Television, internet, projectors etc.)
I found the article very interesting and with a lot of good insight on a new an emerging medium, projection design. I enjoyed the idea of relating this form of art to the classical pieces such as paintings and sculpture. The article discussed the idea that traditional art, (paintings, drawings) required some form of pre existing knowledge to adequately receive and interpret the story being told from the art. (As well as a post or pre show discussion by the artist). This makes the traditional (canvas based) form of art very difficult to tell a story, unlike other mediums such as video, projections and even novels which can use frames or a linear timeline to layout the story being told. I enjoyed this analysis as I have never looked at those pieces of art in that way.
The main purpose of the article was showing how projection design is not as much about the tangible "art", (by analyzing a free standing piece such as a sculpture) but rather being immersed in the experience. Projection design allows artist to tell stories by creating an environment for the spectator to walk into experience the story.
This was a very interesting piece and I look forward to further discussion.
Tim
