Does it want to be a space that you enter and are surrounded by a projection on each wall? So how to set up four projectors? Speak to Simon Butler, technician about projectors.
Small scale: Outside looking in. Peep-hole: An enclosed smaller space that cannot be physically accessed but that you have to look into through viewing points. So have to construct a space like a phone box? Or a screen with peep-holes? Or a false wall with four iPads set in so have to go close and peer in. Or boxes that you put your head into?
Reminding me of the Double Slit physics experiment to test whether light photons are waves or particles. Fire them through slits and measure their endpoint on a flat surface. Don't travel in straight lines but as waves. And react unpredictably with each other so are never where they should be. Not quite relevant to my work but interesting and something I've been thinking about through my dissertation too as regards the nature of light and perception.
Do I want it large and immersive or small and hidden? What would suit the work best and why? Do I want people to be inside my work? See what I see? Then it's large.
Or am I thinking about the distance between us as humans so although we have the same bodily construction we are still separate. Our phenomenological experiences are unique to us. Also Descartes' notion of the duality of mind and body. The mind has sovereignty over the body: it has rights over it. Separation.
Do I want to add sound? Ambiguous sounds, as the images are ambiguous in terms of gender and of recognisable body part (especially the under tongue.) Try recording the lip smacking or nose squelching or ear polishing and play through large speakers.
I want the sounds to be deep, but unrecognisable. Would the large installation be incomplete without sound?
To Do: Approach Steve Butler, electrical technician for help with projection etc.
Need help with construction too. if want false wall or booth.
Must test the films through a projector to see how they look.

Check with Martin next week when I pick up retina photographs.
Also printing on metal sheets?
