I am exploring the power of spaces to incite fear or fantasy.
Because I am trying to find out how fantasy disobeys reality.
In order to help my audience understand that imagination is our inner reality, we live inside our minds.
I am producing an interactive net.art video/animation piece aimed for everybody/anybody.
Scenario: Video of people in public spaces- escalators, trains, street, etc. similar to a security camera feed. Viewer can zoom in or click to activate animations that add layers of imaginary circumstances onto the video of everyday life. No protagonists. A virtual tour of inner space. Some layers sound/time based.
I've been watching a lot of these for ideas:

You're homing in on something: great! The pleix films (the ones I saw) didn't do anything for me, but Standish Lawder's Necrology comes to mind - here's a link to a DVD and a description. http://www.cinema16.co.uk/film.php?film=41
Your idea allows you more control: you shoot the imagery and produce the "embedded" animations: you can do this!
Yeah, the pleix films are really different from my idea, I just like their creative use of animation. The Necrology thing looks more like what I'm aiming for, definitely. I'm also interested in projects like http://99rooms.com which are more similar to my idea.
Thanks for the comment :)
