Wales-based artist/maker, Ruth Packham, made a felt out of Welsh wool and created the birds below. Some birds had magnets added, so people could move them around a painted magnetic wall. I was invited to create animations responding to the work.
Part of the exhibition space. Cardiff M.A.D.E.
Duration: 20s. This is from the main felt of cutouts, animating them flocking away and coming back. Projected onto the felt on the wall, and a performer for the end performance.
Duration: 1.09s.Timelapse of the magnetic birds over April 2022.
Duration:1.06s (Sped up for reference) An animation separately played on loop throughout the night, projected on the main wall end wall over the magnetic birds. Replicating people moving the birds around before taking a life of it's own.
Duration: 14s (snippet). The birds were turned into particles with expressions in After Effects and processed. This was projected onto props, walls, and the performers themselves.
Each animation was projected at various parts of a live performance with a handheld projector as I moved through the space
