PROJECTION -- Quelab Dress Rehearsal

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:

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:

More "Street Taco-sized" Prints

I thought Pavel Acevedo's prints would look good when projected large, since they are black-and-white:

• In fact, black-and-white linocuts prints in general might look good when projected large

Also certain color images can look great when projected large -- and I've been generating a lot of these in Midjourney:

CELL PHONE PROJECTION

We used a "USB C-to-HDMI" set up to project from a cell phone:

USB C to HDMI cords

The cell phone projection only worked fluidly when we project from "Portrait" orientation (as opposed to "Landscape" orientation):

I think the cell phone projections

were smaller

Projecting in "Landscape" orientation

gave us details, rather than the full image

Projected LIVE AUGMENTED REALITY

NOTE: Probably just the more recent cell phones can project the AUGMENTED REALITY figures in the dark...I was having a lot of problems earlier trying to project AUGMENTED REALITY in the low lit areas of the Denver Art Museum

ISSUES and THOUGHTS

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

My figure drawings

do not look good when projected large

While we did not project any AI Animations, I think they might look good when collaged together with the Projection Mapping Software:
