APOV Video
This is the documentation of the first "public" testing of the APOV (adjustable point of view) harness. The wearer is John Sanders and the crowd is the New Media Graduate class at Ohio University with professor David Colagiovanni The left portion of the video is all that John was able to see during the experience. The image on the right is a video I recorded during John's experience. The two were synced up and composited in Final Cut Pro.
APOV Camera Test
Today I received my AIPTEK A-HD camcorder which will record from a video input. This is the first video I've been able to record with my board cameras.
APOV Harness
The Adjustable Point Of View (APOV) Harness is the base structure for four small (1.25" x 1.25" x .5") board cameras to be positioned on and around the body in various configurations. The images from these cameras are viewed through a Head Mounted Display (HMD) unit. The APOV Harness and HMD combination are the foundation for an exploration into the mind's ability to adapt to experience from a different and multiple points of view.
The Slide show below reperesents the prototyping, patterning and fabrication of the primary harness that holds the Quad Processer and Battery. At a future date, the HMD conversion box and the portable recording device will be mounted to the primary harness as well.
Transmission

Transmission is a peice that explores the movement of a view point from a general location to a specific one. It is this shift that is interesting to me. In the same way that my tilt-shift images cause a shift in the precieved scale of a place, Transmission causes a shift in possibilities of location.
There is also a openness for narritive that I find intriuging. It is not my normal tendency to work with a narritive, but after a discussion with Mateo Galvano the possibility for a narritive has entered my thinking about this work. For me it was a much more formal experiment of location, preception and contrasting formal elements. For Mateo there was a narritive almost spiritual in quality attached. I'm not exactly sure how to convey this narritive without literally describing it, which I'm not ready to do yet, but it was a very interesting experience for me to have that new material embedded in my work.
