Please send two different jpeg's of your work to ma.show_viscomm2007@yahoo.com, in high resolution, that we will use on the flip side of your face for the projector at the private view. These will serve as the main example of your work at the show, in terms of the projector, so please chose what you feel are your strongest images.

Everyone's in! Yeah!
Now that everyone has the go-ahead to exhibit at Curzon Street, we feel it is time to have another meeting. Next Tuesday at 2pm in the MA Studio. What we really need to talk about is gathering work and brainstorming ideas to use with this projector that we have provided for us for the private view of the show. Please see the previous post to familiarize yourself with the product. We are looking to have about a 5 min loop on the interactive projector but we need to plan the media for the system and get some people to work on the images and video files. The system is really quite easy and low tech to run. Any of us, video/photography savy or not, are capable of making the images/video that run with the software. Also, I am sure that there are individuals whose work would really suit the projector and if you would like to have some of your work in the spot light, then this is your chance. Some ideas that we have had so far:
1. an intro screen with something like dirt as the top layer that sweeps away to reveal the poster of the show, or another main image of the show.
2. A billboard of squares with (maybe) each of our faces which then turn over individually to reveal a sample of our work and/or contact info.
More or less, its just something to play with, so nothing needs to be complicated.
Come with some ideas on Tuesday please! Check out their website which is posted below.

Karen and I visted the private view of the most recent show at Curzon Street - it was a show put on by the photography organization Rhubarb-Rhubarb. I wanted to post these images to give you all an idea of the space we have to work with. This show was spread over 2 floors and work was also displayed up the staircase and on the landing of the stairs. Two of the smaller rooms on each floor were turned into a food/bar area. One of the large rooms had boards while the other was left open. The other small rooms had stuff hung on the walls with no other installation, but the rooms would easily accomadate a video installation or a manufactured installation. The lighting is all pretty good and the windows let in a good amount of natural light. The floor is bare wood but the walls all look like they have just been painted. We'll work on arranging a viewing of the space soon to get everything thinking about where they would be best suited to exhibit.
As well, once Andrew and Phil are back, I expect them to announce that EVERYONE is welcome to exhibit at Curzon Street.

We have a sponsor!
We had a meeting with a rep from OMi-Interactive Systems yesterday, which is a company that has developed an interactive projector system; it makes visual responses based on movement:
"The system projects dynamic images onto any floor or wall surface and delivers a full body immersive experience, allowing users to control a game or advertisement through their body movement.
At the heart of OMi-Vista is a formidable software programme that is driven by a highly advanced movement tracking system.It ‘reads’ the precise position of any body within the projected area at any given time, allowing for real-time changes to the graphical images."
The company have agreed to provide a projection system and an engineer to set it up for the Curzon Street exhibition private view. Its simple to use: basically there is 2 layers of images/video (the images are simple jpeg files or avi). You design the top image to move away in a specificed movement (scatter, wipe, tiles, water, smash, trail are their programmed actions) to reveal the bottom layer. We are really quite lucky to have this system as its new to the market and hasn't yet been used in any other arts exhibition in the way we envision it for our show; it will be a one-of-a-kind attraction. We will be designing the graphics soon and will be looking for input from you all. Also we will possibly be asking a couple people to put their work in the system. We envision the projection being set up either in the foyer or in the bar area. Please have a look at the web site and the videos to familiarize yourself with the product. Any ideas on the type of graphics or interaction to have? Place comments on the blog.
