After the PROJECTION ART WORKSHOP by Morgan Barnard the previous Saturday-- we projected again in Albuquerque at the Quelab parking lot on September 23rd, 2026, to see which images look best when enlarged:
This is in anticipation for participating in the LIGHT IN MIND event, as part of the COD A SUMMIT -- when they Projection Map on the buildings of the Santa Fe Art Institute on October 1st, 2026:

AI visions (generated in FLOW) of what my figures might look like when projection mapped onto the Santa Fe Art Institute:

IMAGES to PROJECT
I have been generating high contrast black-and-white images, because I think they project the best. And I especially like the zebra images covered with Turing Patterns:
Other high contrast artistic images looked good too:
TOO COMMERCIAL -- the black-and-white logo-like images projected well, but looked less artistically interesting:

- In fact, black-and-white linocuts prints in general might look good when projected large
We used a "USB C-to-HDMI" set up to project from a cell phone:

I think the cell phone projections
were smaller
Projecting in "Landscape" orientation
gave us details, rather than the full image

ISSUES and THOUGHTS
My raw figure drawings do not project well -- so I have been alternating them with AI.
