description

"building bridges out of bridges" seeks to bridge the gap of a virtual three-dimensional sculpture being presented on a two-dimensional surface; using the viewers position relative to the projection makes up for the loss of the third dimension in the presentation of the piece. The projection of the piece changes as the viewer walks around. If they get closer to it the piece appears to get closer, or if they walk to the right side it turns as if walking around it. Since I am unable to let viewers actually walk around the sculpture in the real world, I created a way for them to walk around it virtually.
