Initial thoughts

What I would like to create as the final outcome of the context and condition project is a video installations that somehow represent the Southbank. So far I have looked at the history of the area and I was interested in looking at the geometry of the building that I have depicted in the previous sketches. In particular I think that the south bank provides interesting surfaces in which would be possible to project videos. The project then should combine two different elements that is what is going to be projected and what kind of surface could be used.

I am at the moment in the process of learning how to animate lines in adobe after effect because i want to try to animate the drawings. The question that raised into my mind is whether would be possible to use the video as an extension of a building, the projected space as a continuity of a real space. I am thinking about lines that run through the surfaces and draw on the building.







The light surgeons installation for the reopening of the Royal festival hall in 2007



In this video after effect has been used to create the lines that run on the buildings, the streets, the bridges etc..I think they can be considered as an extension of the real space that creates a quite funny and magical effect.
In conclusion what I want to analyze is the combination of two different spaces: the projected one that is inside the video and the physical one that is the surface where the video is projected.
