interactive projections


Often I feel that a person tends to take a look at another person 
and instantly project onto them 
who they think this person is 
and what they want them to be.  

So, thinking about this while I was given the opportunity to install a work in the space that a friends band was performing at I took six styrofoam heads and placed them around the space.  I stuck them on tree branches and clipped sharpies to the branches.

I wanted to see what people would project onto these blank forms.



I found it very interesting that many of the forms ended up procuring items that I had not supplied as options to be worked with.   Several of the mannequins acquired glow sticks, an item that was given out to the guests when entering.   And someone got ahold of some spray paint, which had an interesting eroding effect.  I find these facts very metaphorical.
