Just wait untill ebliss comes to get you down.
@ skrebbel & @ aftu : Unfortunatly, no. But I can explain it.
The name is "□□□□". That is not your browser that can't render it, it is the unicode char for "quod erat demonstrandum", which literally means "which was to be demonstrated".
It is an installation with 2 games of life projected on the ground, which are made interactive by color tracking, that is why the two kids are wearing hats. Where the two games of life overlap, you interact with the visuals on the wall-projection.
The theme is based on the sudden suicide of the scene-musician Kjell Nordbø, and the idea is that the players put enough positivity in the game to stop his suicide. It consists at the moment of two levels : in the first level both players add positive elements to the life of the main character, and in the second level the remove bad influences. It was my idea to take several turning point in a persons life, both negative and positive, and let the players guide the main character by walking around on the floor.
Visualy the projections consists of stillframes : no video, this because two games of life already generate enough hectic visuals for one project.
@Sinar. Agreed. It might sound silly but one of my main choices to study in Utrecht and not in Hilversum was that the faculty of Theatre has an atmosphere where I feel at home. I didn't got this feeling in Hilversum. I think an old monastery has more ambiance than a recently constructed building. Since I was to devote four years of my life to this study, I figured I needed a place where I could chill. Also the fact that DVTG works from a narrative towards an end result appealed to me, where GDD is more focused on the technical side of projects.
