Following my experiment to create a 3D model of my head, Adri Schokker (Academie voor Popcultuur, NL) sent me a link to a project he did called ‘Data Sets 2013’, where he made 3D models of his father and grandmother.
The project showed me this process could be interesting to explore just how close to reality a 3D model can be, it may be able to capture a person but is this really them? Adri presents them quietly, giving them a weird but strangely serene effect. Making them peaceful objects existing in a frozen digital moment. I particularly like how it carves out a virtual space for them, giving the sense they are inbetween – inbetween human and object, real and virtual.
