Preston Wolfe: Project 2 Tape Mapping

Concept: 

We affixed a dragon figurine onto the wall for this project. The head is the most prominent feature, while the body twists around itself on and off the cabinets. The arrangement evokes a fusion of Earth, Wind, and Fire with a hint of EDM. My aim was to convey each of these concepts separately through different scenes. The first scene is a gradual buildup with pulsating lines. The second scene is a more EDM-inspired display that contorts and morphs. The third scene mimics a lava flow with a fiery composition. The final scene is a blend of wind and earth, featuring an effect that lends it an electronic and 'glitchy' appearance.






Technique:

Our group project began with a basic dragon design, which we projected onto the cabinets and traced with tape to create an outline. Using mad mapper, we added lines over the outline before proceeding to work on our individual tasks. My initial focus was on ensuring uniform line widths and grouping them, after which I created masks to prevent the output from being displayed beyond the outline and cabinets. Next, I incorporated sourced visuals and linked them with sound effects.

Interpretation:

This project helped me learn the basics of lines and what you can do with them. I also learned about using masks in Mad mapper. Overall, it was fun to create and play with the projections, and I enjoyed making something that was different and unique.
