Interactive installation exploring perception, reality and simulation, movement and space.
Stereosculptor is an interactive installation and prototype for a dance performance turning moving images into 3-dimensional stereoscopic sculptures. A dual-camera system scans its field of vision within a time delay and transforms the images of motion in space into spatial objects projected onto a screen. This decelerated scanning process causes a successive creation of the image and allows the audience and the performer to influence the objects' shape trough motion. In contrast to a photographic long-exposure image where moving parts become blurry or invisible, every single pixel of the digital image shows a fully exposed continuous snapshot of the camera's field of vision. The perception of the 3-dimensional composite image through stereoscopic glasses suggests the digital artifact as being more dimensional and authentic than the 'real' environment.
