"Red Sky at Night, Shepherd's Delight. Red Sky at Morning, Shepherd's Warning."

Red Sky at Morning (Shepherd's Warning) is an exploration of new media, fine art, and surprises. The title implies that there is something unexpected coming, and relates to the rhyme, "Red Sky at Night, Shepherd's Delight. Red Sky at Morning, Shepherd's Warning."

My intention was to surprise anyone looking at the projection with the actual content of the image. Would the sheep copulating get their attention? Would the party hat make them look twice? I ended up getting the same amount of attention when I projected still sheep than when I switched the images every five minutes. Turns out that simply projecting the picture onto canvas is enough to get attention. The surprise came when the image did not appear to react to motion or any other outside stimulus.

I did another test run in the lobby at 2. west 13th, and got similar reactions to the 10th floor lab. I'd still like to take the picture outside to test it in public, outside of the school environment. Anyway, here is the movie from yesterday's test.
