Sondra Dorr specialized in Urban Development & Landscape Architect
Conceived and executed an innovative oil painting installation, incorporating advanced projection mapping techniques. This project, inspired by a personal case study of 'light' and architectural design, involved capturing and integrating video documentation of motion with in urban landscapes. Demonstrated proficiency in blending traditional art forms with modern digital technologies to create a visually compelling exploration of light and space.
The installation serves as a profound medium for guests to experience a dystopian narrative, where botanical life coexists with symbols of human intervention, represented by plants emerging from medical gloves. The concept navigates the liminal space between the past and the present, alluding to the anticipation of an undefined future.
ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVE:
The project aimed to evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the transient beauty of life's moments, akin to the ephemeral 'golden hour' of early evening. The use of projection mapping technology was integral to achieving a sensory-filled environment that heightened the emotional impact of the installation.
METHODOLOGY:
Dorr utilized projection mapping to bathe the installation in warm, golden hues that mimicked the sunlight during the golden hour. This strategic use of lighting was designed to transport visitors to a time of introspection, invoking the silence and awe experienced during the sun's daily descent.
OUTCOME:
The installation was a resonant success, stirring conversations about our relationship with time and the environment. Guests reported a profound connection with the artwork, often describing a nostalgic reaction to the warm lighting and the organic-inorganic juxtaposition within the exhibit
