Project : Proposal

b) Project Proposal

My idea is to represent the screen as a boundary between the real world and the digital world. I think that it is important to consider the computing power that is produced by our mental activities in relation to the human body.

The process involves making an installation, having the model sit on top of the « stage », having their picture taken digitally (6-7 times) and then re-aranging them in Photoshop. The end result will be a series of 6 or 7 digital prints in a rectangular shape that has screen proportions.

This is obviously not usual 2D design, but it can be understood as a mixture of «set design » to build the physical stage, light arrangements and « graphisme » to re-frame the images and play with them. It is really a multimedia design.

I plan to put a human model (female, nude) on top of a semi-transparent « screen » of glass or plexyglass. I will try to emphasize the light/shadows of the model’s body by lighting the scene from different angles and with different colored lights. The room should be pretty dark in order to acheive interesting « clair – obscur » effects.

I am thinking about teaming up in order to share the workload, although I don’t have a partner at the moment, so it might not work.
