The projection that stood out to me at Nuit Blanche was a rotating car positioned at the middle of the road. A patterned design was carved on the body of the car, which can be observed in the image. The light source was located inside the car which allowed the projections to occur. ‘Spots’ of light were projected on the surrounding buildings, which added an ethereal feel to the work. The rotations of the car caused the light projection to spread and circulate around the buildings due to its movement. The element of motion is aptly used in this particular piece. The word ‘distribution’ comes to mind when I think about this piece. The source or medium of proliferation is the light contained within the car which projects onto a larger area once the rotation begins.
One possible interpretation of the piece would be that it is based on the concept of communication, mass communication. The piece can be used as a demonstration of information spreading from a smaller source to a much larger one. This sort of ‘set-up’ is definitely analogous to the proliferation of news to the public from a smaller source.
Overall the piece was interesting to look at because the projection was spread out across numerous buildings. It was definitely ‘eye-catching’ and appealing to me. This artwork was definitely innovative and fascinating at first sight.
