Projection, background subtraction
3D Sensing Projection substitution using the Kinect. There are 2 movies playing at the same time. Whenever keypressed == true, the pointcloud threshold is reset. All the pixels are grabbing from the first movie until there’s something in the physical scene. Whenever there’s a pointcloud infront those pixels will be directed towards the second movie. [...]
Ethnographic Research
Project with Ali Sajjadi, Sae-wook Huh and Engin Ayaz. We were asked to gather ethnographic data. So we choose the ITP House where several of our classmates lives. The assignment called for us to be in character to a scenario. We approached the space and project as an arts collective, looking to transform the residential [...]
