A collaboration between Jason Eppink + I Am for the
Underbelly Project; a hand-made analog projection system that reanimates two blacksmiths from the late 1800s, photographed by Eadweard Muybridge and compiled on plate #374 of his Animal Locomotion series.
Inside the Machine, six frames hand-painted on clear plexiglass operate as gobos when lit from behind by narrow beam LEDs. A light sequence, controlled by an Arduino board with custom software using a 9V battery, casts each successive shadow in a loop.

Armsrock has just returned from participating in the "Streets of Cairo" event, where European & Egyptian artists collaborated in 'a dialogue & exchange on culture'. The light works above are projected needle-etched slides.
He also pasted the Charcoal figure below, which became ghostly after
an interaction with the Cairo police.

"I have just spend the last couple of days in Lueneburg in Germany doing experiments with two light technicians there, trying out different ways of combining drawing with time based media. Analogue projections on site in Lueneburg.
"There is something really good in this kind of non-verbal dialogue between me, the audience, the architecture and the medium. and i like the idea about using analogue projection techniques in an increasingly digital age.
"a note on the size, most of the original drawings are no bigger than the surface of a hand, so there is also this uncontrollable aspect of the visual enlargement that holds me captured."

These were done with a series of 18 x 18 cm photo-slides, which had been developed black and then etched with an etching needle. The slides were then projected with Pani projectors through out the city of Eindhoven.
The project was conducted with the assistance of Kai- Uwe Schwenck of
Panirama, as part of
GLOW 09 – International Forum of Light in Art and Architecture.
