Room 203

Currently my university is under going some changes, one of these includes a building being knocked down and a new one replacing it. This building site is next to my studio and during the building process it has become rather noisy and disturbed our year group meetings. So much to the extent that people started to resent the new building and requested to be moved to a room away from it. As a personal project I thought it would be interesting to turn this room into a camera obscura, having the building site projected into the room. I am hoping this will create a new way of experiencing the room and the building site, maybe creating a way for students to enjoy it again. I think the movement of the building site projected into the darkened room and the constant noise of the site would create a nice contrast in feelings and come together as a piece. If I am allowed to take over the room for a period of time, I would like to invite any students to come and interact with the camera obscura and see if it has changed their views of the room.
