Networked Portrait

John Gerrard (IE)

Ars Electronica Center - Museum der Zukunft
06.09. to 11.09. from 15:30

Interactivity and emotion: A contemporary diptych composed of two photographic 3D models. The appearance and orientation of these can be changed by the user in real-time through a touch screen interface. Hinged screens allow the models to be turned to face one another and react to new expressions. A project which reassesses the tradition of portraiture as static form.

Realized within the Ars Electronica Futurelab artist in residence programme, made possible by Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes 2003.

John Gerrard (IRL), born in 1974, is an artist and technologist working in video, interactive video, responsive 3D and photography, with a significant emphasis on portraiture.
