Sooooo to be completely honest... installations kind of scare me. I'm not really an experimental kid, and I certainly don't pretend to be. I'm glad I'm in Royce's group, because he is the most experimental kid... ever, in more ways than one. Our group met tonight to go over ideas, and I'm starting to feel a little better about this. Royce has a pretty cool idea about a guy that hires contractors to build him a new planet because he hates all of the other planets and wants to spend the rest of his life alone. Then he finds another person that hired the same group to build a new planet for her, but the contractors were just building one planet and were hoping that they'd never find each other. They fight.. and then they both jump into a volcano... I guess. I wish they didn't have to do that, but it shows our director's personality at least.
I then suggested that we not show found footage of construction workers on a boring sheet, but a more interesting surface. We then came up with the idea of projecting our footage onto a giant ball that has four different textures on it of earth, water, and two others of that sort to kind of represent a planet, that would rotate throughout the installation. This is the part I am excited about because a big arts and crafts project is much more comfortable to me that the whole projector/actor part. I am glad to have found an aspect of this that I can really contribute to and understand, and hopefully I'll learn a lot more about the other aspects of this as we go.
