Images and videos capture two very different settings. One is just a still-life and the other has movements and sounds that make the “image” come to life. In a sculpture aspect, they capture one pose and are very detailed three-dimensional objects that are typically made out of materials that you can carve away. Peter Jansen, took his own spin on a sculpture that not only captures a pose but captures movement as well. In his project, simply titled “Runner”, he captures a figure running through multiple forms of the motion. This piece is really engaging to the audience because it is showing all the different movements that happen while you are running. It is showing multiple images of what the next movement is to come and create a moving picture while viewing it, like a reflection of yourself which you can’t see while you are running.  This is something that requires the viewer to walk around to fully experience the motion from multiple perspectives.

Images and videos are can really capture your attention, but actually physically engaging in an art piece is even more exciting to experience. In a way, you are controlling and changing the art piece as you interact with it. An artist named Scott Snibbe creates his work where the viewer is the art piece. his works include many sensors and video screens to project the movements of the view to change and evolve the artwork. in his piece titled “Boundary Functions” from 1998, he has created an interactive platform with video screens implemented into the floor and there is a sensor locked above the screen. This measures that the amount of space the person interacting on the screen has, and as more people join in on the screen, each persons space will be changed to get smaller or larger.

I would love to be able to create a project that uses a hologram. This piece would be laid out similar to “Boundary Functions” where you have to be in a certain area to interact with the piece. there can be two types of holograms in this piece, there could be one of yourself, where you would be scanned through many different camera angles and reflected onto the interactive platform. the other would be Alexa, but she would be in a physical form and you can interact with her just how you do while asking her for information. The hologram would reflect different movements of the person interacting with it. the more and more the hologram gets used, it will record all these different movements and will then become almost an actual person that you can interact with.

I can see this piece being placed in multiple different areas, such as a library or even in a train station or even in your home, somewhere where people can ask for assistance or just won’t have fun with this piece. It can be more than just a person to interact with as well, this hologram can be programmed for specific purposes based on where it is located. In the library, for instance, it can be someone you approach to find a book or to get knowledge on a specific topic. It will constantly adapt and figure out new personable ways to connect with people to make the experience like a human to human interaction. If you had this in your home, it could try on different clothes that you are interested in buying. it could scan you and then show you how they would look on you. This could be the new augmented reality assistant that could really change the way technology is used to bring Siri and Alexa to places in the real world rather than just on a device.
