Tagtool at BYOB – Prague

This year the ‘Bring Your Own Beamer’ event was held at the venue Podnik – a very good location for projections, with a big main stage and adjoining gallery space. Our Tagtool was in the area behind the main stage where it was really dark and the projector was set up so I could draw right down to ground level.I did the drawing above quickly in the afternoon to test our set up before Dima had to leave to work at another project. I was a bit nervous being left without him to troubleshoot any problem that might occur with the Tagtool or the projector, but thank goodness everything worked perfectly all night! I started by drawing this monochrome landscape which I photographed at various stages.The opaque Tagtool colour really glowed in the dark! Then I was able to use the fade slider to produce some transparency and finally added some line drawing. The next drawing sequence began in colour and ended in monochrome…Here are two more of my photos from what was a very long night of drawing! The event went on till 5am so I left my drawing from time to time to go and have a look at the other installations and the VJing at the main stage. I was sorry that Dima wasn’t with me to take some video. Instead I will end this post with another sequence of still images.
