For my portrait assignment I was hoping to use the slit-scanning technique in order to imitate/recreate the flow of water digitally. My assigned partner mentioned she was a rescue diver and described her interaction with bioluminescent plankton, who reacted to her touch.
The idea was to create a video narrating the event, starting from the point my partner enters the water and the transition between earth and ocean. I was planning on using UV light or projections in order to communicate the change of states (currently undecided) + blue glow sticks to re-create the bioluminescence of the plankton. I envision a concentration of shots that specifically concentrate on the somatosensory system. Finally, I was planning on creating various slit scans in order to recreate different directional and qualitative flows.
