After viewing my digital zines on-screen I thought I could push the viewing platform further and try projecting them onto the wall. The change in scale firstly made the books appear much more than an A5 sketchbook where the pages originated from but much more of a spectacle, especially with the pages turning themselves with a press of a button. I filmed the book as the pages turned to see what difference it made to the on-screen version. The combination of projected light and my camera meant that the film picked up a lot of extra colours than just the black and white pages. I photographed the pages as they were turning to capture this colour-shift, and as well as the change in colours there were moments where two pages merged and the texts overlapped or blurred, creating hybrid textual forms. I also tried to materialise my wall texts as projections. By taking the text directly away from the wall, the text occupies more of the space though the beams of light from the projector. The projection occupies the wall because of its proximity to the projector; it's the first thing that the light hits. Yet when the audience enters the space they occupy it, and the light hits them.
Here, the space is left 'blank' for the audience to occupy and explore the text that can be seen, either on themselves or on the wall.
