NeoN Party

Another tentative step towards the Paris exhibition next year, I tested out a zoetrope in public for the first time the other night. BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer) was this year’s closing party for the NeoN digital arts festival in Dundee, and they put out an open call for people bring their stuff along to project. I was really just interested to see how it would work in an exhibition-like space, how people would react to it, would they get what was going on, would there be too much going on, would it just look good and make sense etc etc.

Here’s the set up (no decent video unfortunately, as my camera was providing the live feed for the wall projection). It’s basically the same as the IPT2 video , but it was all happening live in the space.

I think it actually worked really well and is probably the best way to present the zoetropes, as it’s all laid bare in front of you so it’s easy to make the connections and understand what’s going on, as opposed to the videos I post online, which I think require too much of an explanation of the processes behind them. Looking forward to coming up with something fancy for this exhibition now :)
