VIDEO DOCUMENTATION FORTHCOMING

This piece presents three devices to be worn by the user. Each one is composed of a pair of video glasses connected to a camera that re-orients the user’s perception of their body in a different way.

With the first device, the camera is positioned directly over the video glasses, so that the user sees from the perspective they normally would, only through the filter of their gaze being mediated by a video signal.

In the second instance the camera is located on a back-mounted rig behind the user’s body, such that the user’s perspective is outside their body looking down at it, in a situation similar to many third-person video games.

The last scenario is similar to the first, in that the camera is mounted over the video glasses of the user, only in this circumstance the video feed is exchanged with the camera of a second user, meaning that two people are exchanging perspectives with one another.

The signal from each of the cameras is split, so that the feed also runs into screens positioned around the space so that passive viewers can also see what the users see.
