Setting: Row House Cinema in Lawrenceville, PA

Miyazaki Week

Turning the notion of "spectatorship" on its head, we captured live footage of the audience watching a film, and projected this content, altered with animations and effects, onto the wall of a building directly opposite the theatre. In this way, the spectators became the subjects. 

Initial ideas and concepts of our project included creating an "invisible building" through projection done on all sides of the building, creating a "portal" that would allow people passing by the building to experience something they don't physically exist within, modifying shapes of shadows using interactive projection, and creating "giant monsters" in an environment that would intrigue, mystify, and revive a sense of exploration and imagination within viewers.
