Due May12. Design a motif (or series) (could be text, high contrast image, continuous tone/color image) to be projected on the sidewalk in front of the 1000 building, keeping in mind the context:  public space, space of passage and the timing (week of Manifest, time of transition). This might also be a laser or hand-cut stencil, or a video.  There will be loudspeakers attached to the glass of the front lobby that will project sound both inside and out. The Illustrator file that will act as a template for either vector drawings or continuous tone images is in Classfolders/PublicArt/lasercircletemplate.ai.  The image(s) will originate from a projector mounted on the ceiling of lobby, and the bottom of the projection will be just outside the exterior wall, running parallel to the wall.  You may want to consider this orientation in making your images for either either projector/medium.
