Cave Temple uses multiple digital cameras that dissect the visual informations that they take in and re-assembles the visual elements in different layers and time to re-invent new and spiritual meanings for the events that surrounds our daily lives.

Background
Our final project, currently titled “Cave temple for training digital ninjas,” incorporated ideas and work from a few of the projects we worked on during the semester. We were interested in using Pepper’s Ghost along with live video feeds to put people in a new space. At first we were interested in doing an installation in an abandoned store front, using a video feed with some effects like the video filters I had made and background cancelation so people could see themselves as ghosts in real time. Unfortunately, none of the real estate agents I tried calling ever responded to my messages.
