TRANSMEDIA EXHIBITION: FINAL PRESENTATION FORMAT & DELIVERABLES

Dear all, we are merging both studios for our final.
The info below look dense but Its just very specific.
(please see post below for class setup diagram)

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOU GET TO CLASS (A9) AT 1PM, as we will need 1 hr to set up the exhibition:
Jamie, Christina: can you be there at 12:30pm? I'll be there, we could get started

what we need:
— tables with white butcher paper: Tables should be covered with white butcher paper for a very clean presentation. Butcher paper drapes to the ground on shorter lateral sides of table.
— 2 projectors
— 2 projection screens
— 2 laptops
— speakers
— poster clips etc

J & C: You know the format, please coordinate the setup & reserve equipment (I can help with this too, i'll place a call tomorrow)

Some of your from the monday studio have presentations that day, (_dominique_ree_ anybody else?)
To make this work: let's arrange when you'll have a break in your other course so you can drop by for 10-15 minutes to present your work, we'll accommodate for your time.
I can notify instructors as well, please let me know who they are,

Add a simple structure to it, meaning, dividers that state: stage 1. stage 2 etc. You can name these however you see fit. Needs cover, spine, back cover.

WEBSITE REQUIREMENTS

—web needs to be functioning.
— images: show everything as a final, executed, physical object.

specifically:
—Logo (ideally placed to one side, elegant, visible on all pages)
—Artist Statement
—Installation: models, visual narrative of the whole installation (objective, subjective shots) This is what you did in your book, just translate that into an online platform via images for cohesive sequential storytelling.
—Catalog: shoot your final (PHYSICAL) book and include it as an image narrative. select the best spreads that tell the story in sequence.
—Poster: Shoot your poster
—Invite: shoot your printed invite.
—Process book: Shoot your final book. Same as catalog (this one is optional)

SCREEN-BASED MEDIA (2 Projectors)

Select the best images of your installation / 10 images minimum. We will compile these into one folder and present as a slideshow loop throughout the evening (as mentioned above)

—PROJECTOR 2: Presentation-specific
You will screen all you media work: video, sound, performance, final installation pics and documentation as you present your work.
Include a black slate at the beginning of your projects stating: your name & project name (or logo, small)

------------------------------------------------------
PRESENTATION LABELS
------------------------------------------------------

Please place next to your work:
— All labels should be 8" x 8". Mounted on white foamcore. BW prints will do, unless you are inclined to use colour.
