Baylor Talcott - Trash




Trash 

Concept: 

My concept for this project changed dramatically over the span of two weeks. Initially, I was planning on presenting this in public in the Vaughn Center. That changed due to an emergency surgery then after I was recovered, the COVID-19 outbreak happened so I had to do it in my home. The idea is to show the negative effects of trash and how humans are neglecting their obligations to make a change. I would do this by projecting images of trash onto trash bags. 



Using Pinterest, I was able to collect a number of images that I was able to take inspiration from. These varied from photos of pollution in the ocean to uses of single-use plastics being repurposed into art. I plan to use technology to emphasize the mood of the project which is guilt. I want to inspire people to take action and make a difference in their behaviors. The specific technology I plan to use includes After Effects, Premiere, and Arena software to then be projected upon trashbags.

 Rendering:

These are the concepts that I came up with prior to the COVID-19 outbreak.


Obviously, this changed due to the fact I had to improvise from home. However, I was able to do something similar just not quite up to scale.

Planning: 


Ignoring the rustic features of this spot, I had no other choice in my home because of the online classes. This was the only bare wall with the most projection capabilities. I planned on placing the bags on top of one another to create a stack. Overall, I had to make do with that I had.

 Budget/Resources:

 For this project, I tried to keep the budget below $10. That was relatively easy since most of the time trash is free.


Electronics:
- Computer
- Projector
- HDMI Cable

Programs: 
- Reslume
- After Efftects

Items:
- Trash bags
-Trash

Content:
- Video of trash and negative effects

Most of these items I already had so I didn't have to spend any money to create this project.


Project 1: 

 After everything was conducted, I was able to create images that were better than I could've thought. Here is the final project. Here is the link to the Youtube video.

INSTALLATION IDEA

Image
MAIN IDEA TikTok has been made extremely popular due to the coronavirus pandemic.  We chose to represent social distancing at a larger scale by incorporating large Iphone-like interactive screens facing each other at a distance of six feet.The screens will display tiktok dances by a simple stick figure so that the viewer could follow along.  The installation would be located by the large fountains in central downtown Tampa. This is a highly trafficked area that will intrigue not only the cars across the streets, but also those just passing by. As far as materials we would need; two large monitors and a wooden frame to hold them up.
