3 Minute Performance Piece



Here is a video of an installation I made for my Time Studio class. It's a projection of a video/music I made onto hanging, layered sheets of mylar that have dried white acrylic paint spread on the surface.

I got the idea when I came across the artist David Spriggs (http://www.davidspriggs.com/index.html). He has managed to created many intruiging 3D pieces using mylar and acrylic. I thought the idea was exciting so I took the idea of layered transparencies and instead of trying to create a specific form I instead wanted to create an atmosphere.

The idea was to use the mylar as projection screens where different layers would catch various densities of light and create a 3D form of the moving paint that was projected on it. I was very happy with how it turned out and am interested in exploring it more in the future.



Here is how it looks in the light.
