Description
"Alpha Blend" is the seventh piece in the
Shadow Box series of interactive displays with a
built-in computerized tracking system. This piece
shows the viewer's presence revealing and blending
pictures of people who have recently looked at the
work. A game of "reverse puppetry" ensues,
where a portrait from the past is animated by a live
presence, in a similar preceptual mechanism than
the one used in Lozano-Hemmer's public art installation "Body
Movies". Half the time an immediately previous
image is shown while the other half of the time an
image is selected at random from up to 10 years of
recordings.
