Just wanted to post that my current project, A Show of Hands, will be projected this weekend as part of the Dumbo Art Festival. It'll be projected onto the exterior of the old Empire Stores building, overlooking Brooklyn Bridge Park, by the river.  Just near the intersection of Main St & Plymouth St.

Please come by and say hello if you're nearby on Saturday evening! 

I've been meaning to post these videos for months, but just never got round to it...

Late last year, I was immensely flattered when John Reaves, Alyce Dissette and Hal Eagar asked me if I would be interested in collaborating with photographer Janet Sternburg in creating a multimedia exhibit for the Seoul Institute of the Arts.  Of course I said yes, and by January 2009, I was getting deep into design research.

As part of this process I tried to identify a good transparent projection screen.  In the end we didn't go with this kind of projection design, however, without going into too much detail about why, here's some rough video tests I did.  Apologies for the shaky handheld camera (I was in a rush, and working by myself), but hopefully these videos might be a resource for someone else doing similar research.  

This one shows tests with an acrylic screen made by Da-Lite.  I wasn't too impressed with this one... Low contrast, and didn't deal with ambient light very well. This product definitely wasn't going to be good enough to show Janet's photography on...
