The question still remains about how the image is performing?
I would like to print them in a large format and exhibit in a space where the spectator can have distance from the image, so there are two ways how to perceive the images. From a distance the image looks smooth and spectator may have a feeling that something is slightly moving, but seeing it close he/she can see all the artifacts and distortions that are made digitally.

The project research explores boundaries of lens based medium, looking for manipulation possibilities and finding related connections from history. Practically it displays how to construct a movement of a human body by using digital tools. Visual material has been reassembled and processed in a software, the result is a fast moving image sequence that shows a movement which is corrupted by software, in a way representing time and deformed body move. It is yet another way of manipulating reality, another way of experiencing reality by using these contemporary tools. It is interesting how things can be interpreted, mixed together in the fast, mind-blowing information age. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The performance:

The piece is exhibited in Boerhaave Museum exhibition "Augmented Bodies". The work discuss the promise of the body and how it can be interpreted. The portrait is enhanced with a virtual layer. The hidden augmented world of the work is revealed when a smartphone or tablet is directed at the portrait. On the digital screen the hidden reality unfolds engaging the spectator and resulting in a strong connection with the work. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The questions after the assessment:

What is the architecture of the image, why do I use software and what is the meaning of it? They want to know, what can I do with it? How can I develop my investigations? Start looking for an answer to the question, why I want to distort an image? Why representation of an unreal thing is necessary?

The why, what is interesting, is: why the post-photographical qualities are interesting nowadays? And how they develop and become necessary? Find a meaning to your technical experiments. What is unique in what I am doing, what are the qualities of my work and how can they become important? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
