Projections

Yesterday evening, we did a quick trial to test the possibility of using projections in the performance. After getting a reasonable projector from Information Services, we all got very excited at the possibilities for bringing the network activity into the space in a visual way. The downside is the familiarity of the projected image in performance work such as this. Since it is such a common trope, we will have to do some clever thinking to make it both relevant and fresh.

This morning has been spent rigging the projector in a semi-permanent way and rendering images to test with. We will reserve judgement on the projections until the tests have been completed, not least because using projections means we will probably have to paint the set.
