The installation is up & running now and only needs to be switched on in the mornings and it runs all day.
There are many configurations as to ways to show it, but this one, projecting from the purpose built box in the middle of the room works well as it is.
With a bigger budget!! I could see it being projected so as to fill the whole of each wall, and we would have surround-sound, probably at head height around the space. I thought a square room with the projections totally covering each wall would work best, and you would stand, sit or lounge on a giant bean bag!! in the centre so as to be 'immersed' in the imagery.
I have had many comments and have made some changes. I have slowed down 'Earth'. The layers were fast-moving and slow suits it better. It is possible to see more shapes & faces & beings in the mirror imagery when slowed down. And, I'm re-editing 'Air' tonight too - adding more content, but more spaciousness at the same time (I had looped this one quite a few times so the images were quite repetitive and it flows better now).
Some interesting research (on YouTube):

- Moodwall
- Adobe Creations Interactive Display
- & of course Bill Viola
