Past and current video installation practice

From your research into video installation, give two examples that you think influence your work / ideas
in some way.
One should be a past practitioner, the other should be contemporary.
Past Practitioner

Notes on their installation

How is it similar to your ideas?

I wouldnt say my installation is simialr to Fionas because her
style is very different to to what mine will look like. My
intsalltion will be very simple

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Contemporary Practitioner
Name:
Bill Viola
Biography
Bill Viola (born 1951) is a contemporary video artist. He is
considered a leading figure in the generation of artists whose artistic
expression depends upon electronic, sound, and image technology
in New Media. His works focus on the ideas behind fundamental
human experiences such as birth, death and aspects of
consciousness.

Images

Notes on their installation

How is it similar to your

ideas?

Bills installation work tend to look very old fashion where as mine will
look modern so I wouldnt compare my installation to his work.

Sound design
What sound will your FMP / Productions have? The sound will play through the speakers on my
laptop or through headphones

Will you use headphones or speakers for this sound?

I will be using computer speakers for the sound.

Why?
I will be using speakers because both the productions I will have on show have a soundtrack that will
attract people.

Lighting design
What lighting will you have in your installation? Consider health and safety.

Sketch out your lighting plans for the installation.

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Projection vs screen
Will you project your video or play it on a screen?

Iamnotprojecting

If you are using a screen, will you

use a single screen, or multiple
screens?
I will be using a single screen and
both my productions will be
played on a loop

How will that change how your

audience READS your animation?

Unit 35 Installation Production Booklet

Technological convergence
What is technological convergence?
Technological convergence is the tendency that as technology changes, different technological systems
sometimes evolve toward performing similar tasks.

Will you be using this in your installation? I will only be using one technological system which
will be a laptop.

Explain your answer.

I am only using one because I am onlt hsowing a video so I wont be using technological
convergence
