Authentic Proposal
The concept for my project is to explore the idea of unintended performance art where a participant is used as the input but is unable to experience the output.
My project will consist of a user controlled helmet with an LED display over the eyes. Essentially functioning like an inverse VR headset, the helmet will display images/patterns on the outside of the headset, rather than the inside. The wearer will not be seeing the images but be enclosed in the helmet and left to wonder about the display and trust the artist to lead them.
Input options are open, depending on what I want to use to augment the experience to the wearer.
Accelerometer: If head tilt right ā> then run Pattern A; If head tilt left ā> then run Pattern B
BPM sensor: If BPM increase ā> increase pattern animation frame rate
Sound sensor: No sound ā> static pattern; soft noise ā> gradual increase in frame rate; loud noise ā> sudden pattern shift/frame rate increase
Color Sensor: move across a value board, each color triggers a new pattern
As of right now, my first choice for input is the pulse monitor since it would be the most personalized option for each wearer.
If pulse rate increase/passes threshold (550) = true ā> then change the pattern to racing pixels and alternate colors faster
If pulse rate increase/passes threshold (550) = false ā> then run default pattern (static)

Speculative Proposal: Inverse VR Helmet
Conceptual Response 2
What are these machines doing for the artists that that humans canāt do? In other words, would these artists have to make machines to make their artwork?
The machines and augmentations these artists utilize allow them to express extensions of themselves within their work in some way. That is, while they would be able to make their art without the machines, they would not be nearly as successful in conveying their subject matter in the way they need. These artists rely on their machines to push the boundaries of human limitations, and extend them further for amazing results. Itās this extension of human limitations that I believe is the key factor in using machines.
If the art wasnāt machines, how would it be different? Reference at least three artists specifically.
As I said before, if the art was not created with the machines, the impact would not be nearly as strong. For Wodiczkoās projection series āPower,ā the projections are necessary in order to reach a wider audience. If he were to simply display the video in a gallery setting, it just becomes another documentary style piece. By projecting intimate closeups of the face/body onto historical monuments, he is forcing both the viewer and the storyteller to come face to face with the trauma being exposed. Additionally, the sense of scale brings the element of hierarchy and importance into play - the larger than life projections demand your attention.
In Kelly Dobsonās work, the machine is integral to the functionality of the pieces. Her work focuses on the machine/human interaction and how they can be used as a sort of psychological experiment. Without the machine, her work would merely be conceptual theatrical performances, but the added technology takes it that step further to become both performative and functional.
Alan Rathās work requires the machine to create these pseudo-android creatures that incorporate the idea of humanness but do not use it directly. If there was no machine, I imagine these pieces would become static pieces...maybe simply video works using the animated body parts? Itās hard to say how his body of work would look because the machine is right there for the viewer to see.
What do these artists desire from their machines? Again, reference three artists specifically. They donāt have to be the same three. Answer these questions in detail and add any other thoughts you have about this work.
I think a common thread between these artists is the desire to use their technology to evoke a sense of wonderment in the āunknown.ā All of these artists use their respective machines to

Project 2 Brainstorming
Project 2: Expanded Cinema
Project film of things/people in motion on to still bodies: create movements that are contrary to what they are being projected on. Fish/water, clouds, people walking
Projecting typically big things at a small scale, hidden away in discrete places (or vice versa). Elephants in small corners, buses/construction vehicles on tabletops.
Projecting on to smoke/fog: alternating patterns and colors, abstract.
Static - Project 1
Project 1 Storyboard - Rough
Some preliminary ideas for the types of shots I want to incorporate in my static shot film; a combination of natural/urban settings, with mostly Closeups and Medium to Wide shots. The sound editing will be key in making these interesting, and I want to have the audio from each scene overlap with the next scene to eventually create a cacophony of sounds.
Project 1 Brainstorming
Project 1: Static Shot Video
Landscapes/Environments: Finding remote locations with minimal human interaction (e.g. parks, lakes, abandoned homes/neighborhoods), and creating serene shots that seem bubbled in time, almost like infinitely looping gifs. Non-narrative, but could progress from night to day.
Time Lapse: Speeding up/slowing down shots at certain points - use to visualize the passage of time/nature of progress. A mixture of wide shots and closeups, making sure to frame each shot in parallel to the previous one. Light trails?
Soundscape: Focusing on the sounds in a location, overlaying and boosting elements to draw attention to specific parts in or out of frame. Editing unrelated sounds into the shot to create a whole new environment/story.
