This article helped to set up an easier understanding of the possible relationships and interactions that can be created between a person and the artwork. It also expanded on the various infinite possibilities one could do with a video and projections. A few parts I took note of to think about for my own project. On page 63 its states, "The canvas screen familiar from the cinema has been has been stripped away, leaving an image plane that may still emanate from a monitor or liquid crystal display; however, it may also appear virtually as a projection or even volume of light, floating in space, or be wrapped like skin over a physical support support in the built environment or around an object of any kind." This statement stood out to me because it was saying that you shouldn't put your ideas in a box, but think outside of the box, that you can project a video on anything.
I also thought of the concept that was mentioned about using just "a screen...of pure light" p. 67
It reminded me of the exhibit in at the Hirshhorn where we had to walk into the dark and sit down and were viewing projected light.
This article was helpful in gaining a better understanding of the options and views that can be created with video installations and light itself.
