“Multiperspective Collages”

This sketch presents a series of multiperspective collages I created over the last four years. Two examples of these works can be seen in the SIGGRAPH 2005 Art Gallery. Here, I describe my process and tools, demonstrate a custom image editing system I created for the project, and show some resulting images. I will also briefly outline some of the theoretical underpinnings to the work and mention some of the history of multiperspective imagery.
