Although not the best way to see people engage with my work it was great to see the first image come in. It wasn’t quite how I left it but I was getting images up it was working. Every few minutes I was getting a new image (not what I had planned) it looked like I was seeing too much floor. This was just stepping over my threshold of someone in the space and giving me lots of false triggers, the worst thing was that I had a minimum time between uploads and that meant I was often capturing an image just as somone entered the space before very much had been drawn. I did get the occasional good image which showed people were there and everything was working. Still plenty to work on but I was fairly buoyed by the whole experience.
The viewing the exhibition remotely was actually a very interesting experience. This tiny glimpse in to a room at the other end of the state. I enjoyed the still images I had grabbed before, waiting for the perfect moment when chaos and order produced just the right mix. These images froze a moment so it could be examined in detail but the moment is about what leads up to it and what follows these images weren’t they were just a reminder. But looking at these images from afar they weren’t memories As I hadn’t been there. They flet like ghost reaching out to me from where I might could have been. Its hard to explain but it did feel like I was connected to the space by those shadowy figures. I doubt I would have felt like that if they were normal photos of people I felt that process of me trying to formulate the shapes in to people somehow gave them more importance. It exciting when you find animals in clouds maybe its just this, maybe its just me excited watching my baby and others would find nothing of interest in it, either way its something that I will continue to explore.
