Design Proposal:
Design a perforated shading device in a public space in Toronto. Record the movement of the people who pause to use the device and animate the space. Film their shadows intermingling with the light filtered through the shading device against a hard surface incorporated within the design of the device.
Event Preparation:
Edit the filming of the human shadow and light recordings. Install shading device in school for final review and project the new choreographed sequence back onto the hard surface of the device.
Project goals:
1. Craft a shading/light filtering device to be installed in a public space.
2. Use the movement of many people as well as daylight to record the animation of a public space.
3. Investigate the intermingling (communication) between light and shadow against the materials chosen and start to understand how these elements work together.
4. Attempt to instill a sense of atmosphere through the careful editing and choreographing of the recordings
5. Create a performance/event out of the collective participation of many people in a public space, without being too prescriptive about their activities or movement.
Missing factors: Incorporation of sound.
Could be facilitated by:
the oscillations of the shading device with the wind.
the conversations of the people using the space
using music/sound to draw people towards the device in the public space.
