PROJECTION PAINTING

AKA – A Mechanism For Textural Hallucination

misc. objects, video projection, gouache, bristol board

Video projection facilitates the painting and repainting of tangible objects. The original components remain unscathed, open to all possible paint job futures. It’s the convenience of infinite revisions, the angel/devil of digital mediums, approximated in analog/tangible form.

Remote coating blank objects in colored light is surprisingly pleasurable. Passing the brush across a sphere produced a pleasurable calm – convinced my hand was moving smoothly, following its round contour. While in reality, moving straight across a flat surface.

I’d like to do more of these. They’re quite relaxing.
