I have come to the conclusion that I have been shooting the wrong thing. Spencer Finch had the right idea.By turning the monitors around he was about to use the white wall as a canvas for the colors of his sunset. I am not going to get the colors I want by shooting directly at the screen. I should be taking the blurred footage and directing it at a wall to try and get the colors I want. Shooting the wall.
But here are the questions I need to ask.
1. Do I need to show the TV to let people understand the work better?
2. Does this need to be video in order to allow the pacing and color interact?
3. If question two is a yes, is also question 1 a yes or can the dancing of the colors, the flashing, can they speak for themselves.
4. Can this work function as stills?
I'm starting to this that I am beginning to answer these questions on my own. If my ultimate goal is to somehow illustrate the idea or transmission and its effects, I do not think this work is able to function without movement, or light. I'm starting to get the feeling like this work is going to work as projections in order to manipulate emotions.
