Brock Tamlin: Materialistic

3/30/26
I installed projectors with Bethany's help on Sunday afternoon. Still in the process of installing more projects and the materials that will be projected on. A work in progress, but looking forward to where this project is headed. 

I had a couple of what should have been anticipated, but unforeseen setbacks. I was missing some very specific mounting screws that I mistakenly didn't account for in weeks prior, so I had a hard time finding at our local hardware stores. With some work arounds, I am finding alternative ways to display these projectors and I think it will be even more interesting than the imagined or usual way of displaying them.

I have been culling through video footage and editing a video sequence for installation this weekend. I am thinking through some ways to make adjustments to my projector mounts to work better for the space.

    I am really interested in these image focused installations Sarah Sze creates with simple materials in combination with projectors.

Key concepts
    -Parallel Processing visualized with multiple images
    -Peripheral Distractions and distortion
    -Image Perception
    -Lateral inhibition
    -Meditative Imagery through Digital Media
        -> Why does it seem easier to attend to a video of nature or ephemeral visuals in the form of media than it does to visually experience this in real time reality.
    -Multiplicity of images and imagery
        -> Employing the use of: 
                - Digital media
                - Mirrors
                -Reflective Material
                    -Mylar
                    -Privacy mirror
                    -plastic
                    -Metalic paint
                - Semi Transparent Material
                    -cloth
                    -Projection Scrim
                    -Durlar

Materialistic Ideation










This is an image from a past work of mine from spring of 2025.
This is a long exposure photo of a digital matrix of images on a monitor. 
The long exposure paired with manual zoom create this motion effect.
    
      I included this as a reference for some of the same effects and visuals I want to create in the installation space.

    All of these ideas are interesting and hard for me to wrap my head around. (Not a bad thing, I just have zero experience in projections). The sketch I found the most compelling was the shower thoughts one. I so badly want to see what these projections would look like behind shower curtains and what that would do to the idea's context.

    I also like the idea of the curved pieces, which seem to lead the viewer through the room and to different projections. I think the reflections and imagery from the projections on the reflective material could be quite interesting.

    I apologize that I can't give much advice in the projection and time management portion of your ideas, and hopefully I can hear from you exactly what you are going after with these ideas, so I can fully understand what exactly you are going for.

    If you need any help installing, please reach out!
