Hi Everyone,
Here is a crazy idea… I'm doing a public art piece Titled "Blue Flower/ Flor Azul" for the new School of Architecture in Albuquerque. On this piece I'm projecting the image of a drop of ink against an outside wall in the building, the image is 28' diameter, and…this is the key… I'm using a water tank and real ink on the site… to make it more complicated this is a permanent piece, expected to work for twenty years!
This is based in an old piece of mine called "Dripping sounds" , but at a gigantic scale (you can see both projects in my web www.federicomuelas.com
Ok… to project the image I have to options, one… making a custom made projector incorporating a powerful light, condenser lenses, the water container (with all the stuff to control the dripping of ink) and two achromatic lenses. Option two… get the image of the ink with a HD video camera and project the image against the wall with two stacked 15,000 lumens Sanyo projectors. I rather prefer the first option, first because the second idea is too expensive and secondly because, using a super powerful light source I could achieve any lumens I want.
But I abandoned the idea of the custom made projector over the Sanyo projector when I start dealing with HMI lights, too much current, too much heat, too short lifespan… too many problems… Until this friend of mine showed me the Titan Light engines.
But the truth is that I'm not sure how this LED lights will work on projection systems, I know they are used for illumination on building, but projecting systems?
Tips? Ideas?
Thanks guys
Federico
