I’ve filmed some videos based on leaves being blown in the wind, but they may be quite difficult to see. I’ll have to try more ideas.
We watched some videos today including:
- Boomerang by Nancy Holt/Richard Serra: where Holt was listening to herself talking through her heaedphones with a slight delay. She herself said that the delayed audio was making it hard for her to hear herself think.
- Left Side, Right Side by Joan Jonas: where there were various images of Jonas on the screen, telling the viewer which was the left side and which was the right side. It became confusing at times.
- Time-Delay Rooms by Dan Graham: where people were able to walk from one side of a room to the other, in time to see themselves start the walk on a television screen. This was done by delaying the images by around 8 seconds, the amount of time it took to walk from one tv to the other. It was interesting to see the people’s amusement.
