installation idea

I think it would be interesting to make an installation where the conditions were controlled by somebody in another place, like Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s work ‘entanglement. It is so simple with two neon signs in galleries on opposite sides of the world that are connected through a computer so that they turn off and on at the same time. I liked the idea of somebody controlling the conditions of a room when they weren’t anywhere near it. Thought it would be interesting to create two environments, one with controls that people could play with and the other being the room or space that is affected by the controls.

Could use the hearing range experiment for this, people in one room could turn the frequency of sound up or down and this would be heard in another location. And maybe they could match colour with each other in reds and oranges, work together to reveal a picture or something that is being projected on to a wall. Colours have different frequncies so maybe i could make a sound to match each one, see this colour chart. When i walked past liquorland yesterday they were painting over graffiti on the outside wall, and the paint used was a completely different tone of orange so i wonder if this has anything to do with males not perceiving much difference between oranges and reds.

I really want to use found colour in my work rather than colour generated by the computer. might just explore this a bit before i decide to do an animation using it, or maybe see if i can create a decent range of colours to from my own palette to use on the computer. Maybe film something then replace the colours with my own. Haven't a clue how to do that. But i will go and photograph colours i find then put them all together in a grid like palette on premiere, maybe ending with the computer version of each colour that i have tried to model the colour on

Could look at hand colouring in early film??


I could re-make bars and tone using found colour and sound. Definition for bars and tone here.
