We live in the physical world, but, in recent years, we are also partially living in a digital one, at least for some time of the day. I usually photograph in the real one, but with the power of 3D Computer Graphics, I can make my own worlds and photograph in them.
But I am missing the vibrant life on set that I love in the real world – which is why I 3D-scanned a lot of my friends and colleagues to also have them in the virtual world.
CAPTCHA is a very meta body of work with equally elaborate physical and digital pieces. Works are hanging on the wall, through a VR Headset, or your own phone, you can look at their digital counterparts, which feature digital avatars of me and my fictional crew on the fictional sets.
