OMOTE / REAL-TIME FACE TRACKING & PROJECTION MAPPING [by nobumichi asai]

5 Sep

“This work is the theme of Japanese identity.
While feeling that Japanese are losing confidence, where is Japan’s identity? 
What is the universal value that Japan can transmit to the world?
Elements of Japan’s identity such as Japanese traditional beauty, future technology, Japanism, etc. were pursued and integrated by members and collaboration members of kuwahara hiroto, Paul Lacroix, and Jin Hasegawa.

Finally, when Android face transforms, grotesque dark mask appears from inside. 
It seems that it is a metaphor for a strange anxiety towards the future brought about by technology that continues to evolve at phenomenal speed.”

Gender Swap – Experiment with The Machine to Be Another

15 Aug

“Gender Swap is an experiment that uses themachinetobeanother.org system as a platform for embodiment experience (a neuroscience technique in which users can feel themselves like if they were in a different body). In order to create the brain ilusion we use the immersive Head Mounted Display Oculus Rift, and first-person cameras. To create this perception, both users have to synchronize their movements. If one does not correspond to the movement of the other, the embodiment experience does not work. It means that both users have to constantly agree on every movement they make. Through out this experiment, we aim to investigate issues like Gender Identity, Queer Theory, feminist technoscience, Intimacy and Mutual Respect.”

Piotr Kamler – Une Mission Ephemere 1993

25 Jul

“Kamler’s animated cinema suggests a singular variety of science fiction. Completely unalike to more conventionally linear and text-based narratives, Kamler’s films instead explore a series of dynamic visual motifs. Typically, the conclusion of these films is less suggestive of resolution, than it is of recurring episode.”
