Extended Embodiment

Looking through images, the implied perspective transports us to places and enables us to see through a huge diversity of lenses. Vision becomes a means to embody other times, scales and experiences. 

When these vast visual experiences are threaded into patterns and linked with meaning, the enfolding into our embodied knowing enriches and expands our senses. 

As a means to anchor holographic scenes to embodied knowing I often include the hints of the photographer-visual protagonist- through which the urban landscape is mapped. 

In many of the ‘Explorations of the Holographic Gaze’ artworks the visual protagonist looks at the camera – at the viewer, in one place in the spatial image sequence and into their world at another. In addition to their steering of the perspective, the depiction of this shared action of looking creates another connection through which the viewer relates to the dynamics of the holographic scene.

A sense of dynamic shaping can be composed by the relationships between the implied motion in the montaged view of the visual protagonist and the movement of the viewer.
