I was heavily inspired by the use of projectors to display text over large surfaces, like building walls, to convey a message. Unlike graffiti or murals, projectors create non-invasive mediums for art. My project was inspired by Guerrilla Projections, projections that spoke calls to action. Instead of a still image, I used my video, “Time Stops for No One”. The video is a timer that ticks down from 24 hours, with the text “Time stops for no one…”. The goal of the video (and the projection) is to remind people of the constant passage of time. The projection bypasses the limitations of a traditional screen by making surrounding surfaces, like the wall and ceiling, canvases. Oftentimes, we get so caught up in our lives that we forget that our time is limited.
I projected the video in the dark areas of my apartment: my closet, bedroom wall, and bedroom ceiling. I also copied the video to other media devices, giving the impression that it is spreading to more people. Below are images of the projections and snippets of video that I took.
