Projections on mirrors

In this experiment I was projecting a simple video of a car which was speeded up so that only a light remained visible. I find interesting to create new visuals by using videos of simple objects and manipulating them, changing colors, adding blur or other effects to make them look different. In this case I was using this video to project on a mirror to see what happens when an image is projected on a reflective surface.I had two different result according to the type of mirror I was using. The first one is a convex mirror and it reflected the image distorted, creating a quite beautiful effect on the ceiling. The second one is a normal mirror which just reflected the image on the other wall without creating any distorsion.

Timetable

My time table for the rest of the term before the holidays is:

Week 1: 8 - 14 of March

Tuesday / Wedsnday : Get the necessary material that I need to do projection outside: extansion cable, projector. Project onto the wall outside Chelsea to start understanding how it is to project in an outside space. How big is the projection? How bright?

Thursday + the week end: go back on site take proper measurements, make a more detailed plan, elevation, sections to have a better understanding of space

Monday: Put my work on the blog, write down what I have discovered, reflect on the experiments that I have done

For the following Tuesday I should have: pictures of my experiments with the projector outside, more detailed drawing of site

Week: 15 - 21

Tuesday / Wednsday: get different materials and project on them. How a projection looks when is projected on fabric? What happenes if I use glass?

Thursday + the weekend: start thinking about how can I apply my discoveries on site, make some concept drawings

Monday: Put my work on the blog, write down what I have discovered, reflect on the experiments that I have done

For the following tuesday I should have: pictures of my experiments of projection on different materials, initial concept proposal for my project

week 22 - 28

I think the all week should be dedicated to the development of a clear proposal that i can further develop during my holiday
