You Over There:
You over there is an interactive video installation which allows users to be emerged in a different cultural environment.
My aim in the project was to combine 2 environments which are the same but with different cultures.
An example is : Schools are present all over the world. But they are different with respect to culture.
For this project i made use of a 3×3 piece of plexi , a short throw projector, DV camera and textmarks.
The plexi was covered with privacy film to make it a see through mirror. This is so that the viewer can see the projection as well as their own reflection. The short throw projector was places behind the mirror to project onto it.
Quicktime broadcaster is used to broadcast the video. Since im streaming live video over the internet i wanted the video to be as fast as possible with out any delay and buffering issues so i decided to not broadcast sound. For sending messages to each other Textmarks is used. Send youot message to 41411 and youot1 message to 41411.
An issue i came across was that because of the film the video being project was too dark. To over come this issue i used a DV camera and opened up the iris and also made some adjustments to the video in quicktime broadcaster.
