this experimental film / installation was in collaboration with @rohxnz_23 @jhvh_zy and @doraa_v2.svg. Combining 3D LidAR scans from iPhone cameras with point cloud data in touchdesigner, we were able to create 3 different “realties“ from the same environment data. experiments in audio reactive visuals, mediapipe (hand and body tracking), and rendered geometry were all utilized during this project. This project was produced and displayed at the ADM department at Nanyang Technological University

this is the beginning of a project labeled the artist is watching: The artist is watching, is an interactive installation piece that forces us to confront our relationship with surveillance. The project started when I was considering the surveillance and CCTV cameras seen all around Singapore. I questioned who or what was operating the cameras, and if anyone was even watching at all. The deployment of CCTV cameras forces us, as civilians, to act in a certain way. We must always assume we are being watched and because of this, our behavior must always be appropriate and law abiding. You cannot be suspicious in any way. I use a 3d model of my face to add a visible personality to the entity watching and I used touch designer and an open source facial tracking software called media pipe to accomplish face and body tracking.
