Here's the video. The high-quality version was too large to upload, so this is a lower-res version, and is therefore not as dazzling as it could be:
I showed this video, projected onto a wall, for my final post-bacc critique (I was still calling it Face Fill then). It was recently accepted into a massive group show, Color, at BWAC (Brooklyn Waterfront Artists' Coalition), juried by Brooke Kamin Rapaport, former curator of Contemporary Art at the Brooklyn Museum. The opening is on the 28th, and the show is up through August 19th. Go see it! It's installed in a 9.5x12.5" screen, and is somewhat more dazzling than what you see above as a result. Incidentally, I'm interested to see how a more intimate scale will lend itself to the viewing, compared to the wall projection, which had an imposing effect.
Here are some progressive stills I put together for the application:
mouth
eyes
full face
And some shots of my face after recording:
mirror reflection
mirror reflection
straight on
I attended the senior thesis show with my face like this as an experiment, before most people knew about the video. It was fun to see people's reactions. I had a few friends kiss my face, hoping that their lips would leave negative space marks on my face. It didn't have that effect, but it did lend them some lipstick for their mouths/ chins/ noses.
