The Bad Contraption - A Digital Art Installation

This is a short video documenting The Bad Contraption, a digital art installation presented for the First Friday Art Walk in downtown Missoula, Montana. It was a collaboration between my fellow University of Montana Media Arts students Lindy Jones, Sari Jones, Preston Schulz, Chelsey Von Ehrenkrook, and myself (aka "The Dream Team").
Our goal for The Bad Contraption was to create a space in which people could get lost; a surreal, topsy-turvy world.
It consisted of two animations projected onto the walls, large stacks of boxes with patterns taped onto them stacked around the room, colored LED lightstrips and spotlights, huge hanging paper lanterns, five televisions which also showed the animations, and piles upon piles of small pink and white boxes viewers could interact and play with. It was held at the Badlander Bar.
This video was taken before the giant paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling were lit using large LED spotlights with pink and blue light, so the lighting in the video is bland and much darker than it actually was! Video Credit: Jesse Spaulding.

I've always wanted to create music for a setting such as this one. Nice work.
