What We See, 2014


Selected to tour for Illusion, Science Gallery Dublin, from 2013 - 2019

Travelling to Quala Lumpar, Germany, France, Canada, Italy, Venice, China, and the United States.

Interactive Video Installation, Invisible screen, adapted glasses, L & R stereo sound, couch, table, two books, headphones. 

What We See is a multimedia installation that invites the viewer to participate in the artwork. A polarised screen filter has been removed from a LCD TV screen, rendering the screen invisible.

 

By placing a polarised sheet into specially made glasses, the screen becomes viewable again but only from the viewers perspective. The viewer is invited to place themselves within a replica film set of the video, by sitting in the set and watching the screen through the glasses.

 

The sound is created in stereo headphones, left to right, to induce the sense that the person on the screen is speaking into your ear on your corresponding side.
