Luminaria 2008 proposal


My idea is to record images of lights with a variety of colors. The style in which I want to record them is in an out of focus style. I want to give the feel of an illusion or perhaps a vague memory or impression. Equpment that will be needed to show piece:
Option 1:
Use 3 flat screen TV with 3 DVD players and each monitor will show a slightly different image.
I would like the monitors to be mounted on the ceiling looking down onto the viewer.

Option 2:
If the TV is to intense I thought of maybe projecting the images onto each other or just having I image, and it being projected onto a corner. Giving it scene of viewing a reflection from a foreign object. (I would really, really prefer option 1!!!)

There will be sound and will also be needing head-phones, two at the most.
Sound will consist of abstracted sound that I’ve yet to come up with.
