<Aiaia> (2020)
Instagram AR facial filter
In
this AR facial filter <Aiaia>, recognized faces of viewers’ are replaced
with my 3d model version of Medusa.
This work is about prevalent gazed in the
media that see ‘women in images’ as objects of possession, as the gaze towards
Medusa before her transformation. However, Medusa transformed into a woman who
can freeze the gaze, which is the main point of my work, to freeze the gazed of objectification.
By taking selfies with and sharing the filter,
more and more Medusa have been reproduced in the digital world, defying to be
objectified.
About the Project
<quick warp!> is an AR filter project for the young generation
to help them warp into another space with artists’ different personas.
Warp, which appears in the movie Star Trek,
is a technology that helps a spaceship move to the opposite side, far away from the ground.
<Quick warp!> is a new technology that transforms our appearance and space-time
if we cannot reach the other side faster than the speed of light.
We tried to figure out a way to move into space.
We anticipate the sensations we will encounter when we distance ourselves from the here and now
and try to connect with an unfamiliar environment.
⚡️Use the warp skills that 6 creators showed off with their own purposes and languages.
