Abstract:
This paper describes the background, design, and exhibition of Embodied Visions, three interactive installations that contend with the disembodying tendencies of contemporary digital imaging. Each installation encourages the participants to interact with and transform the imaging and display pipelines with their bodies as optical and computed shadows. Combining projectors and cameras with machine-learning-based computer vision, this project presents prototypes for digital imaging that integrate optics and bodily presence. Initial feedback from participants confirms the novelty and easy engagement. The installations critique the limitations of existing digital imaging and display technologies and reimagine alternatives that raise bodily awareness for active perceptions.
