the line and the cone

03.17.08 #1 coming into this, i had no idea what to expect (except that i was going to create some serious fog). in my head, i had imagined it asmore of a laser type of thing, that would somehow (magically) project into the middle of the room, and be more or less a line morphing itself, separating, into a conical shape. i was wrong. even when it began, i didn't understand exactly what it was i was [supposed to be] seeing. (do i look at the wall? the projection light beam?) eventualyl, once the beam began to take it's curvature shape, i was understanding "the line" and "the cone" that it was to become. it also helped when Kreul mentioned, "think of it as a physical presence in the room," (which it truly had become, the most prevalent of) and was asking students to interact with it. my favorite part was actually my job, as the fog-master, because i got to control and 'create' those amazing patterns that appeared in the light beam (that was slowly creating itself ito a cone-formation). on the whole, a very interesting and simplistic artistic form, unique in design.
