Description:

Inserting the produced model (of the text) into a video allows exploiting the properties of the film by the model object. This introduces an internal dynamic to otherwise static images. The task of mental inhabitation and of producing a drawing for the bodily occupation remains, I decided to use four projectors – these would project moving images onto the four walls around the viewer, thus immersing them in the experience. As the projections of light would have to travel through the room, they would inevitably pass the bodies of spectators and create their shadows on projected screens (walls), forcing the drawing (text) to intersect with the viewer. Again, the produced impression, or rather an illusion, of inhabiting the drawing is created.

The final step is to introduce the control of the scale not at the expense of other features. If, for example, a viewer was filmed prior to the presentation, then manipulating their size relevant to the model inside the video would change the scale of the model without actually changing its size. If this could be done simultaneously while the projectors are running, that is if it was possible to film and broadcast at the same time, then the experience would become much more immersive. A turn to technology is to use green screen at one of the walls to produce a live video.

In his essay, Stan Allen said: Architecture is produced in three different registers, through three different texts: drawing, writing, and building. Thus, incorporating walls and screens around the viewer and using technology to employ scale and virtually placing them inside the video places them simultaneously inside these three texts. The experience becomes the synergy of the different media – text, drawing, model making, video and performance, or more accurately, experience.
