This project uses live video projection of the viewer to create a full color image from additive colors (red, green, and blue mix to create the yellow, cyan, and magenta).

This project will explores how video projections use additive color space to create a full color image. Using live video, the viewer's image is captured, projected in full color, and then manipulated to separate out the primary additive colors (red, green, blue) which are then projected onto each corner of the space. Where the primary additive colors mix in the centers the viewer sees the secondary additive colors (magenta, yellow, cyan). The viewer's shadows will also block and interact with this color mixing process. While the viewer is interacting with the exhibit, still images will be captured and stored on their visitor badge; these can later be printed out as the full color image, or as the 4-color separations which form subtractive color space.

Here are the components that have to be part of the big idea:

• Conceptual components:
• Additive color theory as explored through projections of color separated live video feed, which creates secondary colors as they overlap in the centers
  
• Subtractive color theory explored through printed stills from the live video feed, stored on the visitors badges and available as both a full color composite and the 4-color separation
  
• Interactive components:
• Live video capture of the viewers, which comprises the visual display, and from which the still images are created
• The shadows of the viewers as they pass in front of the video projections
  
• Physical components:
• Video projections of imagery
• Immersive space for several people
• Disco ball to contain the video camera and a projector
• Scaffolding to hold up the fabric panels and the projectors, made to mimic rainbows
• Visitors Badges capable of holding still images captured from the video feed
