Installation Experiment

After printing out as many of the previous image shown as I could (18) I went to my site to begin experimentation.

 

 

I began my experimentation with one line to indicate the direction of the path. For this experiment I used normal printing paper just to save on costs, so the way it looks in these images is not true to how it will look once I have printed in Semi-gloss, to match the shine of the floor. I thought about cutting out the groove that I had photographed to make it look less obvious, but after experimenting with it I preferred the look of the whole peice of paper. By cutting the groove out I created problems with aligning the seperate peices and I didn't think it worked quite as well.

 

 

The more of the path I was aligning with one line, the more boring it began to look. I decided to try it with two parallel lines intead. I thought that this worked much better, and it is more clear where you are supposed to walk. After working out the amount of paper I would need to get from one end of the space to the other with parallel lines, I came up with 70 A4 sheets.

The more I thought about it the less cost effeciant it was becoming for me to print them all myself on semigloss. I decided to go to Jessops for the printing.

Instead of having my image on A4 I printed it on 8x6 as it was the cheaper option, and I think it will aid my project, as it will be less noticable now that it is smaller, and easier for me to position around the room.

 

I intend on experimenting further with my actual media on Friday (17th Nov).
