Experiments

De-formation (1)

Short experiments following on from the creation of my 3D head, taking the 3D render and further distorting its own topological space. The initial act of reducing a human to an object can itself be seen as the distortion to the human topological space, it is deformed (or de-formed) into an object. However those elements that are preserved form the link between the two states. These experiments look to further de-form that object, by bisecting it you again change its space.

Taking only half the head further takes the object away from its pre-recognised state as a human. This also creates an interesting optical illusion when the head is then rotated, the brain makes up for the missing information and contours the inside of the face to make it look like another outside. As if the head is a complete object.

This is, however, a failed experiment. Topology only can be deformed by stretching, bending etc, anything that preserve the original space. By bisecting into the object this experiment has gone against that and created an entirely new object.
