Pushing the envelope:

Since coming up with an idea for capstone, I have a clear vision for the message and content that the video aspect will include. The presentation (installation) portion of this project is still pretty wide open as to how I will present. I certainly want to "push the envelope" and create a memorable piece. I have never done anything like this, so I really don't even know what my capablities are.

One artist that I recently came across in my research is Camille Utterback. Her work is absolutely incredible, consisting of mostly interactive digital installations. Her piece "Liquid time series" uses her own software to fragment pre-recorded video by tracking the movements of the participant.

This piece to the left is an image of "Potent Objects," a piece in which the video reacts to motion. The more you shake the snowglobe, the more vigourous the person in the video shakes.

These are some amazing ways to involve the viewer and bring them into the piece of art itself. She does this with a lot of her work. She brings art installations to another level by allowing the art to manipulate with different motions of different viewers/participants.
