Not very related to video installation whatsoever, but... this design, these colors! So inspiring, so beautiful.

It is the tie to process, to the action of a subject in the here and now, whether loose or tight, which works against the installation as a commodity and also suggests why it is so hard to document. While an installation can be diagrammed, photographed, videotaped, or described in language, its crucial element is ultimately missing from any such two-dimensional construction, that is, 'the space-in-between,' or the actual construction of a passage for bodies or figures in space and time,

Though I think the photo documentation of this installation turned out pretty nice, the critical part that’s lacking is the interactivity.
This semester has been really incredible, and I am so excited to (pretty much) be rounding it off with this video art piece called MICAH. Over the past few months,…

The projects I did in this class (especially some of the small projects) helped me grow so much, creatively, and everything I learned definitely influenced my work throughout all my other classes.
This is a still project I did earlier in the semester for another class. There’s definitely a through line between this project and my final installation project “I want you to know something.” Playing with the idea of separating and reorganizing images to create something new.

This is a screenshot from a video series recently put out by Ecce! Films. It was inspiring to look through some of these, the graphic design is beautiful and the cinematography is also really good.

I came across this a couple months ago and wanted to share it to my process blog. It’s a compilation of work from some of the best (current) Catholic artists - designers, photographers, writers, illustrators, etc.

For my final project, I definitely did something that made for a more meditative experience. This is something I definitely worked with a lot near the end of the semester, especially with one of my projects for another class. For my creative media making class, I did a series of 30 second motion pictures depicting decisive moments of Christ’s life. The one above was the first in the series...

Project 3
“I want you to know something”
This project explores the intimacy, the gentleness, and the depth involved with prayer. I believe we can gain clarity and insight into who the person of Christ is based on history, theology, and the witness of others, but there is also an infinite depth of truth, beauty, and goodness that is incomprehensible.
Lastly, the blurred words in the video can be viewed if your hand is placed over the projector’s plane of focus.

Project 3 WIP
I’m going to talk about privacy as it relates to prayer and intimacy - privacy as it relates less to keeping secrets and more as it relates to having intimate experiences in prayer that are inexplicable. It’s not that people don’t want to tell others, it’s just that words are not expressive enough to even share the “experience” or “secret” - for lack of better words.
The ‘half-blur, half-sharp’ aesthetic conveys intellectual clarity but spiritual mystery... something incomprehensible by the the heart (or soul). Glimpses of icons of Christ show moments of deep communion and understanding. These images will flicker on screen very briefly throughout because in reality these moments are very fleeting.
Format: presented on a digital screen in a size that keeps the monstrance at roughly 1:1 scale.

This is the idea for the projected video in our space.

For this small project, the three objects I projected onto included blinds, a rock, and my watch. On the blinds, I projected a video clip I took several weeks ago here in Boulder - having an outdoor scene projected onto the interior of closed blinds is just an ironic theme. On the rock, I projected a still image that I took at the mountain Croagh Patrick in Ireland (where the rock is from). On the watch, I projected a video I took looking up at the light cutting through the fall leaves. This was difficult to see because it was so small and the glass on the watch created a glare. However, the glare is subtly used to my advantage because the sun in the video also flares, so the light from the projector, in a way, creates a relationship with the sun in the video.
The interaction between these sources on these objects creates a new work that existed physically when I made it. Projection mapping, albeit very simple in this project, gives a sculptural aspect to the 2D medium of video by projecting it onto 3D objects.
The 100th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun recently passed, and I would love to do an artistic analysis of this event sometime.

Video Art Installation - Project 1
Reflection:
This documentary project turned out to be the biggest project I have done yet since coming to college. It was big in terms of logistics (meeting with people for interviews), content (my project is 74 gb), length (I have never made a video longer than 5 minutes), and concept (the role of beauty in the Church is a huge topic). With this project I combined various mediums including photos, video, and audio from dozens and dozens of sources: interviews, sound effects, audio, artworks, b-roll, music, landscapes, etc. In terms of the video as an artistic work in itself, it’s interesting because art is essentially the topic of the video. The video itself takes on a pretty traditional documentary form which is generally not associated with art. However, my goal with this video was to make it as aesthetically pleasing as possible so that it might exist in the context of the resurging artistic practice in the Catholic Church.
This documentary engages with the principles of 4D design in many ways. For architecture and topography, the video explores this element both in content and form. There are several photos of architecturally beautiful churches and the video itself works to establish balance, proportion, and rhythm through framing and editing. As for light, all of the video was done using natural light and a lens that was suitable for utilizing that light even when the natural light was dim. With this project, I used movement within the frame fairly sparingly. I really like the aesthetic of stillness because it helps instill a sense of meditation. The element of sound was something I spent a lot of time on with this project. I recorded my audio using a lav-mic and a Tascam recorder so that I could get results that were decently clean and pleasing to listen to. This video traverses time throughout because I often refer back to historical works of art to help illustrate many of the interviews. Additionally, I juxtapose older art with more contemporary art to further analyze the universality of art throughout time periods.
I think my project was successful in making something that is more of a preview for a longer form version. Again, the topic I chose is incredibly massive, but I think I was able to do a good job at personalizing it through diverse interviews.
Even though I had a good amount of practice on this project, audio is still my weakest medium, so I know that this project could have been improved with better quality audio and audio editing. This certainly has to do with the equipment I have access to, but, nonetheless, it could be improved. Another way that it could be improved is by turning it into a longer form documentary that would allow me to explore concepts in greater detail.
“The only really effective apologia for Christianity comes down to two arguments, namely the saints the Church has produced and the art which has grown in her womb. Better witness is borne to the Lord by the splendor of holiness and art which have arisen in communities of believers.... If the Church is to continue to transform and humanize the world, how can she dispense with beauty in her liturgies, that beauty which is so closely linked with love and with the radiance of the Resurrection?” - Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)
