As interesting and poetic as it was to use projection in the installation, there were various problems with the screen, the projector itself, and finding the correct lighting balance to allow a suitable viewing environment for visitors.
It became apparent that the installation would be technically better should it be ran through a TV or monitor, something with its own light source, and so during a small gathering I ran the patch on my mate’s rather large Plasma TV.
Although not particularly effective due to relatively little movement of those being recorded, the screen allowed a far better view of the output. It was also an interesting experiment to test the patch in such a social occasion, operating in the background instead of say a music channel which is often played during house parties, etc.
The patch builds up a gradually decaying depiction of the duration of the party, and somewhat amusingly acts as a metaphor for the gradually decaying inhibitions associated with these often alcohol-fulled events.
