IPP2

Over the past few weeks we have been experimenting with materials and different forms of light source. 

Workshop with visual artist Christian Kipp;

 I had a fantastic experience in this workshop! Working with the concepts of a moving light source and still images moving across the walls and over the body was captivating - I only wish it could have lasted longer! We initially started with the projector slowly moving the projected images over the walls around the space. At first we were very cautious of breaking the image by putting ourselves in front of it - we were enjoying these beautiful images too much! However, as we began to move in response to the images and came into contact with the light it became obvious to us that we could give a new quality to the image as it was projected on our own bodies. We played with the texture, structure, shapes as the image was moved across the wall, becoming distorted around the corners of the space, going in and out of focus as the projector moved close to and away from the wall. I found the stimulus of the textures of the projected image over our skin particularly interesting and inspiring for movement. This is definitely an exploration I would like to continue with in the future!
