Note: The current project proposal is based on the current information known about the exhibition, that being of a gallery \ exhibition space possibly open for a longer time in combination with a 1-3 day 'festival' type containing events. Changes in the way the grad exhibition works will logically change the way the project will be presented.


Camera Induco will be a workshop held one or more times depending on the length of the festival and \ or exhibition.

Each workshop takes up an entire day from 10:00-17:00 including a break.

For this workshop, a table is required to fit the amount of participants (Between 5 and 10) with chairs, not too tightly as there needs to be enough space to work freely. During the workshop it would need to be well lighted.

A projector is needed to aid in the workshop and present background information.

The workshop can be held inside the exhibition space (If other installations \ works permit such a thing (Think noise and so forth)) or in an independent space.

In both cases, it would be ideal to showcase the workings of the workshop by projecting on the (At that point) empty table, which would be a projection of a video filmed from the same view point (Thus showing the table filmed from the top with people working around it). In combination with various cameras made during the workshop temporarily mounted on the table (Possibly encased to ensure their safety).

This way the table would be 'alive' in either case, whether by the actual workshop or its recording (Or solely its recording in the case of different spaces).

A textual explanation will accompany the table to further explain its workings and give the audience the possibility to sign up for future workshops.
