Experiential Design/Gallery Installation Work
The following images capture the essence of Jay's successful designs for experience, in art gallery shows and installations.
Senior Thesis Gallery Show
Jay's most prolific solo gallery exhibition was a 2021 event at Eckerd College where they showcased their senior thesis gallery show before graduating.
01 - Start
The Original Animation
This was the original image, a self-portrait animation that shared what was going on inside my head.
02 - Development
The Experimentation
I experimented with non-traditional ways to display the original animation. Working with LED RGB lights that could phase in and out of colors. I calibrated the print so that one sheet of paper could cycle through the three-slide animation.
03 - Playfulness
Enlargement
I decided to play around with scale, enlarging the image/animation to be larger-than-life. After determining that I could wheat-paste a collaged enlargement onto walls, I went full-steam ahead.
04 - Environment Creation
Kaleido-room
Working with a increasingly limited budget from my educational institution, I was able to create a make-shift dark room to facilitate the LED-light sensitive animation on a large scale inside a gallery.
