My concept for the final projection was to illustrate the connection between our mind and body. To create this narrative, I projected the human organs and a skeletal figure onto myself, and interacted with the projection itself.
I wanted to tell a story about how external stressors impact the nervous system, causing us to become overwhelmed by daily life. A subtle choice I made while filming, that I forgot to mention while presenting, was the decision to wear a white button down shirt and white dress pants. I had more comfortable all-white alternatives to project onto, but I chose office attire to reflect the situations in which one would feel the kind of unease I wanted to convey. I believe that a corporate environment is unnatural to our way life and how we are meant to experience it.
I also created a 3D model of myself to aid in positioning my graphics, and found through my early trials that the projector had a pixelated effect on my visuals. I used this to further my story and pose the connection between humans and how computers operate, emphasizing how both can be affected by input and environment. I used animation, performance art, and light and space to showcase what I have learned in an experimental way.
