Generative Interactive Camera. Augmented Reality. Mobile Interactive.

Materials: Cardboard, TouchDesigner, Adobes.

Size: 39x59 inches

This project consists of four cardboard reliefs inspired by traditional Persian illustrations and a visual effect programmed by TouchDesigner. The audience is encouraged to stand in front of the work and take a video of the cardboard reliefs using their cameras.

I wanted to create a visual effect that poetically stimulates Strabismus double vision to make people sympathize and understand that not all people observe the world in the same way as they normally observe. In TouchDesigner, I created the "Illusionist" to convey the feeling of a vision that has no depth perception and layers of objects and surfaces come together and overlap in a similar way to strabismus vision. "Illusionist" transforms and manipulates pixels and perspectives in real-time. By moving the camera around the work, this effect gives different volumes to flat surfaces of cardboard according to their color intensity. The result on the audience's phone screen is the beauty of this vision disorder.

This project is an illusionist.
