Blow Up

Shadow Box 4

"Blow-up" (Shadow Box 4) is a high-resolution interactive piece designed to fragment a surveillance camera view into 2400 virtual cameras that zoom into the exhibition space in fluid and autonomous motion. Inspired by 20th-century Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni, the piece is intended as a an exercise to underline the construction of presence through a simulated, live compound eye.
