Proposal - Brandon Lawson

For this assignment I would like to return back to my perception project from last semester. In this project I used a laptop to show an image of what was behind the screen, always in the photo studio setting. There was often small interactions with the picture to try and make it more realistic and believable.
Using that as a starting point, I first want to move outside of the studio to try and take away some of the questions that arise from photos taken in that environment. I also want to make the computer much less the central point of the picture. What this could mean is that you potentially could be presented with a scene that while interesting on its own, has the addition of a print or digital device to alter it in some material way. Perhaps the "fake" image that is shown by the computer or print is how the person could envisions what is behind the screen. Another path could be to find images on the internet and then try and place them in real environments. This would fundamentally change the relationship that was created in the original project, but still make people question the validity of the images.
