For one thing, only by doing this can I find out whether what I want to do is possible. But at the same time, I need to DREAM BIG, and get the vision clear, before talking about the HOW it might be done.
What might a person see in the finished piece?
- There would be a big screen - ideally a TOUCH SCREEN.
- There would be a number of interlocking rectangular shapes (vertical, horizontal, square, rectangle)
- At first sight each rectangle would be coloured similarly to the original Gerry Greene painting on which it is based.
- Closer inspections of the rectangles would show that there were moving images underneath, giving a textured appearance.
- Some underlying images might be seen in entirety, others would only be partially seen as behind a rectangular mask.
What interaction might be available?
- If the person touched/clicked on a rectangle, the underlying images would surface, and either fill the screen, or be seen in a smaller 'sub-screen'
- There could be a menu of other interactions:
- The overlying colour-scheme could be changed
- Or individual rectangles could be colour-changed.
- Black and white, and sepia options might be offered
- Interaction with individual underlying images might also be provided.
- Initially, the content would consist mainly of old material - items I produced for other projects.
- If this project is successful (pleasing to the eye, and technically effective), I might use the idea to produce such a screen with videos/photos around a related theme.
(NOTE I have already found that Gerry's paintings may have too many shapes for a small screen, and some shapes might need to be combined)
