For our project, Bobby and I will use a MIDI controller to make an interactive installation. We will link different videos and potentially sounds to the MIDI controller. We plan on making an abstract construct of some sort to project our video(s) onto. We will have our classmates come interact with the piece to make their own version of the installation by using it. The aim of this installation is to have a unique interactive experience where hopefully no two interactions will come out the same .

When coming up with this project I wanted to try and think of projection on a more 3-dimensional plane. I have seen videos on the internet of artists or engineers creating almost holographic images with fog so I wanted to attempt that process. While I knew I would not be able to create any type of actual holographic images, I still wanted to see how I could use the fog to bend the light from the projector. Fog is also a tricky screen to project onto so it would be a challenge to find the right balance. Too much fog and you just create a glowing light cloud. Too little fog and video will project through the fog. Regardless, both will bend the light in different ways which in the end is what I decided to experiment with. Light is such an amazing tool for art and depending on its qualities and positions it can completely change the subject matter. Since fog is ever moving it will continually change the projection light in different ways to make the art installation into something that I
