This project is a response to technology
and our society’s reliance and attentiveness towards it. I created a 3D model
and placed it in front of a TV that has Google street view on the screen. I then used a camera to take pictures of the
model being placed in front of the TV in order to create a stop motion video. Finally, I have the video being projected by
a pocket projector device while the actual 3D model is seen in front of the
projected image. This process is a very
heavy handed and redundant response toward technology use within our society.
In addition to that, in terms of
context, I painted the car model red because that is intended to be an
“attention grabber” while driving through some of the most popular streets in
the world as a portrayal of how technology captures our eyes everywhere we go.
These streets, for reference, are: The Las Vegas Strip, Abbey Road in London,
Hollywood Boulevard in LA, La Rambla in Barcelona, 7th Street/ Times
Square in NY, and Bourbon Street in New Orleans. The shift of focus between the
car model and the background images is a nauseating attempt at portraying our
shift of attention with technology.
