Projection Project by Job Bedford and Brian Pettitt-Schieber
“News Puff”
Purpose:
We will project clips of the corporate news media onto smoke escaping from the Cloud Factory. The amorphous quality of the smoke will challenge the fixed, clearly-defined and over-simplified truths that the corporate news media attempts to convey.
Out in the field:
We originally tried the Cloud Factory next to the Carnegie Library, but we soon learned the limitations of our projector.
