22nd to 29th: Do 2 more tests and mock-up installation
29th to 5th: Test projection materials and develop strategy for building

12th to 19th: Finalize setup and prepare for presentation
From now on I need to settle down and make sure that this project is manifested in the way that is best for it in the time and space that I have. I will develop a way for a viewer to become immersed in the performance, to enter the space of the performer. The installation should allow the viewer to only see the outside of the enclosure and the documentation video of the performance will be displayed on the outside. When the viewer enters the space, they can no longer see the performer because they have taken on its form. However instead of looking within they look outward towards a hyper-documentation of the performers movement through space. The 8 camera viewpoints are projected within the space based on their location on the body. The viewer has stepped into the performer’s shell. The absence of the performers body allows the viewer to experience the experiences of the other. By stepping into the performers shell they are able to experience the passing of time and the movement through space of the “other”. If the experience of a body in space can be replicated for the body of another then does the “performer” exist in that time?
I need to write more about this and clarify what I mean but long story short I need to start sketching out and prototyping how I am going to build this thing!
