For my conference project, I aimed to take this experience farther by using the projection to visually create a space. I felt as though I certainly created a space through the projection, but perhaps not my words, as most people didn&#8217;t really take much time reading the poetry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_5591.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-6291\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_5591-261x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5591\" width=\"601\" height=\"691\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At first, I originally only used two dishes for the oil, water, and dye. However, I decide to try using a third vessel, a large flat-ish plastic box top. I felt as though this made a huge improvement on the quality of the liquid light show, as it allowed me to use more colors without them mixing. If I were to do this again in the future, I would try something other than food coloring, as it didn&#8217;t quite have the vibrancy I wanted. I would also invest in clear glass clock faces or something similar as opposed to what I used. It was shockingly difficult to find a clear plastic or glass dish that didn&#8217;t have a logo or something on the bottom. Finding materials was probably my biggest frustration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/fullsizeoutput_1465.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-6292\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/fullsizeoutput_1465-300x168.jpeg\" alt=\"fullsizeoutput_1465\" width=\"605\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/fullsizeoutput_1465-300x168.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/fullsizeoutput_1465-624x351.jpeg 624w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/fullsizeoutput_1465.jpeg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Overall, I was pleased with how this project turned out, as I felt it for the most part accomplished what I wanted it to.
