Nick and Ben here, just sharing our idea for our installation piece. For our installation, Nick and I are wrestling with the idea of silence within the time before we go to sleep. As all of us may have seen before, when most of us close our eyes we typically see specific patterns, blobs, and colors in the inner eye lid just when we close our eyes. Our idea is to show a person already prepped and ready for sleep. The figure lays down, looks at the clock, lays down and closes its eyes when patterns, blobs, colors and other ambiguous figures fill the vision of our internal silence. Mind you, this video will incorporate mostly a subjective camera with blinking effects to mimic the realism of the act. Also, we thought it imperative to keep our video as a constant loop. For example, we were thinking of having our person wake up throughout the ambiguous silence to check the time on an alarm clock. As well as, not having every ambiguous sequence remain the same. Let us know what your thoughts, concerns, clarifications and ideas you may have for us.
Any feedback is good feedback!

P.s. A preliminary video illustrating this idea will be viewable this week, fo sho!
very interesting idea...when we were doing the blindfold idea i kind of thought how it compared to the time before i fall asleep. I'm interesting to see what kind of patterns we will see
