I have lately been doing meditative performances with my family that involve blinking on a slow count of 8, as I&#8217;m curious about how our counts fall in and out of sync with each other. To add some visual complication to this otherwise simple thought, I performed this meditation with a projected video on my face. The projection is a sort of stop-motion collage made out of photos of my dad&#8217;s face. The original image is a black and white photo, so I placed a cut-out of his face onto a sort of fleshy pink background. The image is printed on rice paper which adds a sort of haziness to the lines, and its translucency adds a blush of pink to the grey tones. The stop motion element is me placing cut-outs of his eyes shut on top of the image. I then scanned 30 variations of this simple collage and imported them into a premiere sequence and exported it as a video, which became the projected material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_9781.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I performed this for about a minute and a half. I have been thinking about it as a durational performance, so I am interested in how it would feel as a full 15 minute experience, or even longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was really excited by the feedback, especially with questions around the &#8220;music&#8221; of the piece. I loved the idea of including sound elements, especially ones that solidify this idea of internal time keeping. I&#8217;ve been experimenting with some heartbeat recording and want to think about how that could be used in the piece. I was also interested in how the audience experienced forgetting that I was a part of the piece. In the future, I&#8217;m going to include some shifts in opacity to narrow in on this question of fading legibility. I also might want to add in some variations on movement, but I want to talk to some more people about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m also running into some issues with the projector itself&#8230; It&#8217;s maybe too strong for my eyes. I might play with just darkening the overall projection, or trying to buy a projector with even less lumens. Overall, I&#8217;m really pleased with this performance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For cycle 1, I performed an early draft of my idea for cycle #3.
