I am an artist/director working with digital image. My central tool is computer vision and I am curious how machines shape social relations. My artworks generate new narrative interaction between people, exploring the possibilities of human-machine-human collaboration. Scientific research on perception, vision and machine learning/artificial intelligence inspires me, as well as everyday observations of life in the contemporary age of technological supremacy.

Life as an image

By Project

Life as an image is a participatory simulation, where people model a 3D double from themselves. Digital doubles are animated in a historical scene as actors, whose activities and gestures are controlled by real-time animation system. The artwork deals with new, hyper-realistic capturing and 3D modeling techniques and their social implications on human relationships. You can follow the prototype production at http://lifeasanimage.tumblr.com/
