Anthony McCall's take on the use of film and projection in art was very fascinating to read about. Using the projector itself becoming the focal point of an installation/film piece was an interesting idea, and although I would have had a better understanding if I were to see the installation in person, from the way he described it in the reading, he executed that idea superbly.
I would have liked to see Four Projected Movements in person the most, because it would be so cool to enter the projecting field, and to be seemingly trapped in a beam of light. I feel like in the future we can have monumental scientific uses for these projections; instead of studying the 2D projection on a flat surface, scientists and researchers could use the beam of light itself to form holograms (like Katherine pointed out), which would help give a model understanding of their subject of study.
