COLLECTED ANCHORS

Spatially stenciling images with multiplex holography enables me to map compositions of hinged dimensions across a field of movement. The process is both limiting - in terms of the number of images that can be resolved and expansive as the hinged relationship is played by the viewer, creating both an embodied connection and ability to explore. 

With the proliferation of experiencing other peoples images online, I considered how this connection and anchoring can be employed to navigate a collective visual landscape. 

To explore the holographic structure of a shared view I designed participatory image composition projects including we’re all looking where 26 photographers trace Melbourne buildings and streetscapes the dynamic relationships between their photographs. 

In a playful response to the rise of social media and online experience Nick Normal and I assembled all the # images of the Conflux Festival 2009 across New York City, which we then printed and animated in a diorama hologram HoloScape. 

The collecting and synthesizing of images is now dominated by AI my interest cobbling together multiple perspectives to reveal the texture and relationships of distinct perspectives. 

Concepts of anchoring feed into concurrent research threads on extended embodiment and stretching out the awareness of perceptual processes (mapping lost) to form my PhD research.
