Synopsis

“In a scene in the dark I do not recognize, where events appear and disappear with no continuity, my position consists of a constant reconstruction. There, space is a surface of depths, starts from my movements and lightens the perception of my senses. The illusion of advancing supports this mechanism's order.”

Perspective (I) is an interactive installation proposed for public spaces of transit. In consists of an algorithm where a few invisible animated circles with a small random movement intersect among themselves producing a set of lines of light, these being shown on a projection.

The generated illusion of space and depth and the installation's revealing sensibility and reaction to movement, invite to a joint reflection over the arts and sciences concerning the constantly dealt nature of our relation and perception of space.

This statement contains a presentation and a description of Perspective (I). It presents also an introduction and some thoughts on the questions it stems from, specially around the relations between art and science. Finally, it encloses a set of contiguous concepts, in order to help locating the creation field where it has been developped.
