As a design enthusiast, I have had the privilege of exploring various design technologies during my tenure at Parsons. Below are some of the projects I have undertaken that have helped sharpen my design skills, passion and dedication towards my creative practice.
Perceptual Distortion is a projection mapping project that challenges the traditional notions of space and time, and aims to create a disorienting, immersive experience for the viewers. The project is designed to elicit a sense of confusion and intrigue, inviting the viewers to question the fundamental concepts of their reality.
The project consists of two cameras that capture the same scene, but at different times. This creates a sense of temporal disjunction, as the viewers witness the same space at two distinct moments in time. The projection is then mapped onto four different surfaces, further distorting the viewers' sense of space and perspective. The overall aesthetic of Perceptual Distortion is one of surrealism and disorientation.
The projection mapping is designed to create a sense of depth and movement, as if the surfaces themselves are shifting and bending in time and space. The colours and lighting are carefully curated to create an otherworldly atmosphere, further heightening the sense of unreality.
The project aims to be an interactive and participatory experience for the viewers. As they move around the space, they will be able to observe the projection from different angles, creating unique and personal experiences of the piece. The installation encourages the viewers to actively engage with the projection and to question their own perceptions of time and space.
