Digital - Slides

Turn digital images to analogue slides and present them with a slide projector. Images like memes and desktop screenshots, what happens to the images? What happens to their context? Are the just archived or is it a representation of the digital version?

I bought a Slide-film and shoot with my analogue camera digital-images like a desktop, Facebook, Google, and internet Memes on a TV screen. After the development I projected them on a screen again like a Laptop or PC. So it looks like a physical image/photo becomes digital again. It's still an experiment but I like to continue with it, because the friction with digital images on a slide I find really interesting.

The projector that I found for my experiment is a RECALL WIDE Slide Projector. The way it works and the action of putting slides (max. two) in the projector is an experience itself. Sliding to the next one is just great and has a nice feeling of looking at images. It becomes a performance when you are ‘sliding’.

After my first ‘homemade’ slides I now know how it looks with digital-images as slides. And I was very happy that they worked. Now I can make a story with the projector as my medium. Searching for nice transition between two slides and search for images that can be mirrored or up-side down. The big question is; what is it about?
