For this collaboration, I met with the production staff once a week and worked closely with Jenny Kokai the director, and the student assigned to running the projection system.

The play is broken into three acts, and as the story progresses, we wanted the projection art to also change and progress. The overarching conceptual theme for the projections was to suggest the idea of “media”, and to then speed up that media during each subsequent act.

All images were sourced from Creative Commons online, and all headlines were written by me based on moments within the dialogue of the play.
