FREEWAVES: Question The Projection
October 10 2014
Freewaves, Anne Bray and the attendees of ArtNight Pasadena collaborated to present a new kind of interactive public work exploring current attitudes towards art and world events. Freewaves’ videos by the following artists were looped throughout Side Street Projects’ walls, screens, fences, and patio. Alongside Freewaves’ artist videos, Anne Bray and friends of Freewaves, Vera Makianich, Daniel Garcia and Cindy Ly Rozas showed micro-projections on attendees and surfaces throughout Side Street Projects. Using micro handheld projectors, they projected video loops of 2 similarly spelled words with juxtaposed meanings onto the crowd as they watch the above artists’ videos. The new animated text shorts illustrated the slight spelling changes between the following pairs of words:
wearisome weareone
allowed aloud
class clash
underserved undeserved
revolution resolution
stranger danger
attention tension
attract attack
canon cannon
treat threat
GMO OMG
unclear nuclear
take cover take over
The performers asked viewers, “How Can Art Change the World Today?”. Viewers were guided and encouraged to post answers on Twitter with the hashtag #questiontheprojection.
