Developed Projection

Scanned Materials 

Materials related to Kelham Island and some on my previous projections, scanned and layered over one another to create interesting compositions segmented by the different textures. The smooth folds in the silk from where it's been flattened onto the scanner offer a strong contrast to the rough gritty textures of the sand paper and scrunched up sugar paper. 

Material Edits 

Distorted/manipulated in Photoshop 

Imagery from Kelham with materials layered over thew top, along with photoshop filters and effects; creating a grainy texture interesting compositions. 

Edited further on After Effects 

I liked the grainy texture of the original compositions, but through some experimenting with filters and effects on after effects, I was able to create a matching aesthetic throughout (bubbilise effect) which perfectly conveyed the 'digital' and 'exaggerated' aesthetic I was looking to convey in comparison to the muted aesthetic of brief 1's book on the gentrification of Kelham Island. 

Projection With Text 

A projection based on the disorientation and change that gentrification can and has caused to some of the locals of Kelham Island and other areas which have under similar gentrification projects. The imagery used is made from distorted imagery from Kelham Island. Using scanned textures of materials which would be found and manufactured on Kelham Island and photoshop settings, the imagery is bold, fast paced and disorientating; as to present the impact of the change to Kelham Island locals. 

High Quality

Here's the high quality version of the after effects edited video. The imagery is sharp and there is no buffering or mixing of colours. 

Low Quality

The purpose of creating a low quality version was so that the imagery would look even more like it was glitching due to the slow clunky transitions between imagery which would leave parts of previous frames behind. This data-mashed aesthetic is interesting and does communicate the glitch aesthetic but it felt a bit overdone here so was a quite jarring to watch.

Projections on Stencils 

Bold contrasting colour from projection on metallic paper stencils of content from my book of people opinions of locals of Kelham Island on the gentrification of the area they live in. The changing of distance from the projector created created interesting forms and shapes on the sheets. 

Projections onto Materials

(layering/fracturing imagery)

Projecting content onto chosen materials (same materials used to originally manipulate imagery). The layering of the materials fragments/distorts the form of imagery and type. These could be used alongside plinths to add another interactive dimension to the projection/installation
