Crit

From the crit it was decided that the strongest outcome was the interactive installation/projection that would ideally be presented in an exhibition space. 

The main points brought up were ;

• Physical Format (location/objects/interaction). The format that the installation would be presented in regard to the interactive nature of the projection, the installation would change over time as the physical buildings have through gentrification of kelham Island. This could be presented as simply as using a number of steel plinths (manufactured on kelham Island) or ply-board plinths (for manoeuvrability), with the projection displayed onto them, allowing the user to interact with the space and change the dynamic of the physical state of the location (reminiscent of the changing purpose of the buildings in kelham). Want to keep plain as possible so that the focus is on the projection and what that's trying to convey on the topic.

• Video/change in imagery. Another question was the changing of the imagery/video that would be projected onto objects, and how this presents the change from old to the new of the gentrified location. One option would be to present the new projection closer to the front of the animated area and the old aesthetic further behind (2 separate projections), showcasing the change in time, in a physical median that the audience could appreciate/understand almost instantly.

• Clarity of content. While I do want there to be a sense of obscurity and distortion to the 'glitch' approach to visuals projected, there still needs to be a clear tie to location of kelham island and the themes of the area being changed through gentrification. One suggestion was that the visuals could be quite literal, while the text that would be used to contextualise the imagery would start to distort and glitch. Although I feel that the original intent to have the imagery distort and manipulate, while the physical objects and text bring context is an outcome that i'm more interested in and will align with the theme that their is a sense of confusion and interruption when gentrification happens, more clearly.
