Our idea has now progressed into using an effect called mise en abime, this simply means into the abyss or placing into infinity. To perform this technique on our wall we are going to film the projection from the van the projector is in, we will then project that onto the projection to give a never ending void effect, this will give the image a depth that will make the area look like it could actually be a window. The effect is similar to one one seen when two mirrors are faced towards one and other with a never ending repetitive image, going into the visible distance. Luke Mears has practiced this effect using a webcam on his computer screen, see below, I think the effect works well and is extremely simple to perform.
I believe this effect makes the building appear empty, and possibly like a blackhole, sucking in the surrounding area, this metaphor works well for the stonehouse area as everything around it seems to be run down and broken.
To change from the "good" to the "bad" we are going to have to have something that changes it, we'd previously discussed using sound levels, but we are now going to use a website questionare. This idea is similar to the website for the dutch sculpture shown to us by Shaun, which changes colour when local issues are raised on the sculptures website. We now need to have a meeting to decide the questions we will have on the website, how it will effect the feed and how are we going to promote the website around the area. Shot-codes could be a possiblity however the site isn't very well known and I feel we should use a website that the locals of stonehouse are more likely to use. Another idea would be to do some guerrilla advertising or use facebook to create an event and invite local people to it using already existing local groups such as the Plymouth page.
