Following my prior studies and experimentation with varied materials, the most successful in transmitting light through layers has proven to be the medium gauze linen; excellent in allowing for fluid movement as well as the ability to be pulled taunt. The above video illustrates the diffusion of image projection through the 3 hand made screens.

Designing the projective screen // Material testing

Following the preliminary, one layer experimental studies into clear / translucent materials for surface projection; recording levels of Light permeability, Reflectance, Tactile material quality, results have shown that clear / opaque plastic sheeting material samples were highly reflective which visibly diminished the clarity of the projected image. The stripped samples tested favourably added to the distorted effect but due to their lightweight and thin nature, effective image stabilisation could not be achieved.

A selection of the material samples which were tested together with their results may be found below:

Riot Iconography - "Layering the loop"

Coke? Riot icons - feeding visually stimulating imagery within the loop

Researching into how visual stimuli (namely moving textual and flashing imagery) respond the feedback loop, I set up a sample reel in order to test various scenarios, alongside adapted setup (i.e height / angle)

Resultant stills are below:

1/ No Camera rotation

2/ Camera rotation - 90 degrees

  

3/ Projector displacement - 45 degrees
