What can you do with film and video in the gallery space beyond a projected loop? This workshop is an overview of how film/video installation can be expanded out of the movie theater to incorporate the viewer and the gallery. We will look at methods to create interactive cinematic spaces including: starting a video only when a viewer is present, syncing multiple video channels, developing sensor systems for viewer interaction and syncing film and video with physical output such as lights and motors to create works that extend beyond the frame. We will be using the Arduino and open-source software (Processing) designed with artists in mind.
