Final installation work shop (Visual Studies)

These are the images from the final session of the installation workshops, where we got a chance to set up the works and show them off to the whole class, where as before we had been working in small groups of 4, I personally have enjoyed these's sessions and it’s been an interesting look and an eye opening look at how hard and how much stuff there is to think about when putting together and installation.

These are images from Savannah Needham's work, she used sheets to add layers to the work, I like this because it also makes it so you can walk though the projection and experience it from different angels, and perspectives, but also gives it levels of depth.

 These are a couple of images from Ole Nesset installation who had projected his video into the fish tank by bouncing it of a mirror, and had filled the tank with loads of pictures and pieces of paper. I found this one particularly interesting because just by placing all this stuff in an every day fish tank and projecting a video into it, it made it all most shrine like, it make it no longer a fish tank, but made it into something that held every one's attention.
memory serving the tank was also a way of representing holding in dreams, hope's and memory's from his transition from Norway to swansea, which is also a really interesting way of using something everyday and using it for something interesting.

This is the installation of Oline Gjerde Myklebust who created work around living in halls of residents, and the video it's self was really well done and created the feeling that living in halls gives people, but then that mixed with how close you get to the work when the cloth is placed over your head and the smell of the cigarette buts, all mixed together created the feeling of halls.

This is the work of Rayhannah Ali who's work was about the connection between man kind and nature, this is the only installation piece that was split between two projections, one which was nature and one with the human side on it creating the really nice split where what ever sense you would normally be using most was on the other projection next to the natural thing. I also really liked how the canvases were suspended in mid air, this to me gave the projections a delicate look because to much movement could have swayed them to much, but it also gave them importance because they'd been brought away from the wall. so it's an interesting way of displaying and is something I'm now considering for my personal work

 this is a side shot of Rhys Williams work who shot his projection though a couple of layers of cloth, his work is based around nature. I don't remember exactly why he projected though cloth, but to me it gives the work a natural feel because it's cloth it feels delicate, more so than if projected onto walls, as well as that again it gives you the ability to move though the work, as well as this holly experimented with placing the projector into different places, and making it so you had to look at it from different angels.

 This is the installation of Rachel Alderman whose work was based around ducks and creating a happy kind of tripy film for the installation, then to show it projected into a mirror onto black card, and placed a disco ball in the bottom right of it to though of light. I kind of liked this way of showing the work, especially with it being low down creating that scene of reality where the ducks would be, but with the light from the mirror and the disco ball creates a dream like feel to the work and would work even better blown up massive and in complete blackness.

 This is Sophie Louise Mccabe who projected into a picture frame, with other picture frames surrounding it, the work it's self was of a simple car journey, then with the layout of the installation with old dollies on the table give the installation quite and old fashion feel, but as well as that, with the work being projected into a picture frame it made me think of a modern moving picture, picture frame which changes over an amount of time. I liked this one because of this it had reflections of old and new to me.

This installation is Georgia Saskia Roach who's work is based on her personal work which I can't remember, but has projected moving images and still memory serving into the vases which is filled with water and a peace of paper, then projected into that, this created a interesting display that created a little ecosystem that you look into and want to get closer to. I liked this way of displaying it, it's different and interesting.

this is Ina Bjørke Dypvik work, she projected into the corridor and created an environment that you can walk into, creating a more interactive experience to the work, as well as that when you see it set up it create a really interesting, dreamy kind of look to it because of how it covers the walls with these bubbles, it makes it look like your walking into another dimension, and I feel the size of this is really good and works for this work.

This is Caitlin Davies who created work about her traveling between home and uni on the train, so when it came to displaying the work, she originally back lit it on the window to create the feeling of being on a train, but as well as that projected it onto the wall to see how that looks, it's an interesting concept to project it and try and create the setting it was originally shot in.

 this is Dafydd Williams work, which was quite bright so my camera didn't like it, but in it's self I liked the work, all thought the projector wouldn't be on a ladder so that wouldn't be in the way. his work was set on him traveling between uni and home, and also had some day to day stuff that he dose in uni.

and finally this is Jed Slade's work who created this amazing installation where you look into the box and it's like looking into another dimension, because there's foil inside which reflects all the light and colour, then the objects in the back ground create this little cityscape type effect, as well as that he blew vapor into it which added another layer to the work, and was a really interesting trippy type of effect that sucked you into the work.
