Some late night thoughts about my project
I got out of bed at half past two this morning to scribble some inane thoughts that were working through my head with red pen on note paper.
The ultimate aim of the screen movement is to document social behaviour real time and show it to society as it happens. By showing it to the public the aim is to alter their social narrative by making them question their actions. I was thinking about some of the events that the screen could pick up on. More often than not it will be the usual movement of people walking and meeting or cars, vans and buses driving past. But the screen could end up projecting back to the public something more. On a macabre note what if an explosion occured within view of the webcam or a car accident. The screen would explode into life because of this sudden human activity regardless if the outcome is good or bad.
The screens activity is a very primitive technological mirror of a section of society and social movement. Erratic movement particularly when vehicles drive past could represent a simple visually represented anger or protest at the amount of traffic currently on our roads. Either way it’s movement is informed by society in a bid to transform their actions even in the slightest way.
