Otherworldliness
Several thesis presentations brought up the topic about video projection and installation in a gallery space. After this graduate review I began to rethink my approach with the structuring of my exhibition. Video Installation can create this sort of sense of "otherworldines" by changing the way people see and experience a particular space. Experimental video projection and installation on a wide-range of surfaces is an ever-changing field as with all technology. In the past few years the interest in technology, innovation, and art of video projection has become increasingly popular. With technology, there’s a possibility to create an environment that changes a space into a global experience. Communicating cinematic ideas and images may become stronger through experimental approaches of manipulating light angles and dimensional space. Diana Thater who has worked extensively in large-scale video installation. She has an interesting take on the idea of video installation. 
“It seems to me that the deliberate point of installation as a form is that it is neither sculpture nor architecture but something half-way in between. It is an art, as Robert Morris said (in his essay “The Present Tense of Space”) of “presentness” that allows viewers to be conscious of the now. I’m not interested in what currently passes for “video installation”—just projected images, which, it should be noted, are cinematic and not spatial. I try to make work that exists in the space between sculpture and architecture... In Knots + Surfaces, as in Delphine, I wanted to change the shape of the room via the images. In both works I did it through a move often made by architects, which is to twist the architectural grid on its axis.” -Diana Thater interview
The internet has an endless list of technology issues with video projectors and examples of artist’s work in video installation. Thinking about scale is another issue, which I have not yet found material showing artists working with installation on a small scale. Nor did I find lots of discussions on video projection through glass or multiple layers. However, this might be of interest to some because its looks to me after sifting through Google that most artists have gone large with projection and kept small images within the box, the tv monitor. Projection on a small scale is a topic to explore further.
