Video Art Pt. 3 Experiential Space

For this project, we must activate space, or we must create a work that alters space through video. My idea for this is to record a wine glass getting filled with water, drop blood in it, drop some rocks in it, and then take the glass away. This video will be projected onto the glass itself and will replay itself creating an endless loop of the glass being filled and then taken away to reveal another glass getting filled and then taken away, etc.

I'm calling it "Widow's Wine." The character is a black widow and her wine is the blood of the husband she just killed. I thought I would throw rocks in there to represent either ice, their rocky relationship, the bullets she used to kill him, or something along those lines. I'm actually debating cutting the rock part out because now that I've put it into words, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Stay tuned to find out. 

My inspiration for this idea stems from my friends. They always joke about how I'd be the one to kill my husband, so I thought it would be funny to make some art around the concept of a black widow. She starts off with a clean slate, marries, murders her husband, and starts off with another clean slate, marries, murders another husband, etc. 

I'm imagining it being showed at some very low-key local art gallery that has a new artist on display every month and only the art kids who are forced to go on field trips will see it. The glass would sit on a white pedestal against a white wall (to represent the purity of marriage, and so the red shows up better) and depending on my resources, the projector would either sit on some kind of stand, or hang from the ceiling in order to get the right angle for the effect to work. What I'm questioning is how well the projection will actually show up on the glass, and it will be slightly difficult to get the exact placement and angle of the projector to match the video with the physical glass.

Anyway, that's what my idea is. We'll see how well it works out soon enough.
