overview:
-different size images, b&w, color, collage, natural objects, writing, video all juxtaposed on wall
-this project can be as collaborative or as singular as you like
1 images:
-nudes in water, b&w medium size, two images
-color images of flowers, small size to extra small, like 2″x2″ or something along those lines
-macro color image large
-moth
-other images that may mix well
-could mix your memories with other artist collaborators. ex: have different artist contribute different medias showing things from their memories. very open organic collaboration -> towards random connection chaos theory or stream of consciousness.. cg jung underground collective feel
2 video:
-video of some of the same objects on the wall, poem/spoken word over video.
-music from other artist.
-sound samples of some of same images on wall ex: sea lion sounds
-underwater video ex: use other artist collaborator for footage
-use projectors? project three different videos, line them up on wall each above the other, but very small in size ex: 3-6″ image size
-have one projector project from above or however it won’t blind viewer in any way, don’t want to obstruct viewing of the installation. this projects a very large image back on the viewers or on the floor ex: ocean waves projected on the floor
-need time-lapse of image objects. ex: flowers growing/dying
3 audio:
-must be dolby 5.1 surround if at all possible. ex: collaborative artist edits audio together for project. you can vary degree of their involvement. ex1: they only use materials you provide as source material. ex2: you provide source and they also put in whatever they like as source, or various combinations and such.
-phil thornton – tibetan meditation -> track 1 meditation
3 object:
-gather things that are in images ex: rocks on beach
-have them in a jar displayed on pedestole or hanging off wall
-use string or rope to hang objects from walls ex: fine strings with many pieces of paper with writing on them in different languages ex: have other artists contribute international for words and have them write on each piece themselves and send it to us for installation
-paper drawings/writings installed on wall. must be creative with presentation, give more attention, thought to this -> think robert frank on this (need to research his images)
-read pablo neruda biography ::: wikipedia ::: a few poems

notes:
-think of this project as a whole experience for the viewer. think outside just the surface of the wall and the display of the objects on the wall. sit omnipotent above the gallery and envision the viewers stand in the space looking at the walls.
-create a parallel web experience for entire installation. ex: use different web developers, web designers to contribute and create (flash, audio, video, etc)
flash- ex: take sequence of photos such as bird flying and then animate that action into a flash clip… could start out still image for so long then execute to semi-moving and then freeze on specific moment in time. could start doing morph type slide shows with flash sequences… **next level is to make flash assest variables** ***next next level is to start to develop admin to control what objects load ex: multiple flash shows, you choose which ***
