Kiosk Screens
I rode the 4.6 miles from my place over the Fashion District this after. My goal was to find affordable fabric for our 542 Kiosk project. As I expected I found a store in no time. I managed to pick up two great pieces of fabric for projection testing; one Lycra and the other Cotton; each measuring 60x144 and costing $2.50 per yard. This evening we need to project on them to see how they appear. We then need to make a few decisions about the screens, so that this week I can print and tailor them.

Millennium Park (Chicago) is a copyrighted public space!
This is a little old by now, but the whole affair is still going on:
By way of (sub)urbanism.blogspot.com: "In keeping with the contemporary trends of privatizing public space, Millennium Park is a copyrighted public space... The [Chicago] Reader [the printed version of the newspaper] recounts the experience of photojournalist Warren Wimmer's attempts to photograph Anish Kapoor's sculpture, Cloud Gate (more commonly known as "the Bean"). When Wimmer set up his tripod and camera to shoot the sculpture, security guards stopped him, demanding that they show him a permit. Wimmer protested, replying that it's absurd that one needs to pay for a permit to photograph public art in a city-owned park... Ben Joravsky, the author of the Reader article, attempted to contact park officials for an explanation and received a response from Karen Ryan, press director for the park's project director: 'The copyrights for the enhancements in Millennium Park are owned by the artist who created them. As such, anyone reproducing the works, especially for commercial purposes, needs the permission of that artist.' Hence, Millennium Park--a nascent destination for countless citizens and tourists that was built with $270 million in city funds--is slowly emerging as Chicago's most privatized public space. Photographers beware!"

Today's Notes, by Peggy
Initially the feeling was toward DAY because there isn't enough traffic
on campus by the kiosk at night
we pushed for a decision: either DAY or NIGHT or DAY & NIGHT
NIGHT won, hands up!
issues related to NIGHT
LIGHT and ATTRACTING people
light could be IR or STROBE or LIGHTS
LIGHTS have spill
IR is last resort (or alternate)
STROBE is cheap and will possibly solve the attraction issue - a large
flashing light will attract people
STROBE:
procure: rent/buy
number of strobes: one bright
placement of strobes;
on the roof or under the eaves
(idea of pointing it at building to cause silhouettes)
timing: would prefer a 3-5 second interval
finding a strobe that fires automatically that goes at a slow enough
rate (1 second)
programming
CAMERAS
one or two
ONE
PROJECTORS
one two or three
TWO (tilted for vertical windows)
MONITOR FOR FEEDBACK
the monitor or screen is probably sufficient
SCREENS
number: TWO PROJECTION SCREENS
size
roughly 9' X 5' 96"X 60"
note: a CA KING sheet is 110" X 102"
a DOUBLE bed sheet is 96 X 81
more or less: 6 yds @ 60" width
material -
white, tranluscent, cheap
shape: tapered, vertical
anchoring
frame it, staking it
15' of 1X1 wood stretchers
branding

stop motion video
showing Jenova's stop motion video Jitter patch at work in the field. (the color shifting is just an illusion between the projector sync rate and the camera image sensor).
