Wanting to develop my ‘Planets of Change’ project further, I felt I would try to research more into projects that make use of interactive projections.

PIXEL was a dance performance project that incorporates the use of a digital projection in coloration with movement.

The end result is simply mesmerising to watch and I would see this being extremely fun and enjoyable for the public to use, play and interact with.

With this project in mind I wanted to formulate ideas as to how my project idea could be developed further.

Further Idea Development

With the original idea of projecting the project on a wall in a blackout, dark room, to enhance the experience more projectors could be used. From watching the PIXEL dance performance I love the way in which the the projection rotates around the performer at 00:50, along with projections that look like stars.

My first impression was that this looked like a galaxy rotating.

From this I had the idea that rotating galaxies could be projected onto the floor, which can be manipulated by spectators simply by walking over them.

I feel this would enhance the viewing experience whilst also opening the doors to further engagement around the project idea.

However, I do not know how difficult this would be to create along with the project itself, but I feel that by adding a different dimension to the project, it will help create more engagement.
