Acute Self


Acute Self is based on Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending Staircase 
and investigates how a person occupies space as they move. 
The viewer’s movement generates a 3 dimensional geometric shape. This shape 
then changes its perspective as you continue to move from side to side. The viewer 
can experience the virtual space they have created through their movement. This project 
investigates how we interface with the amalgamation of the digital and physical space. 
The viewer is given the opportunity to investigate and interact with their own 
movement as well as experience how they occupy their digital and physical space.

This exhibition was first presented at the Digital Art Live screens in
Auckland and is made possible throught the support of Creative New Zealand, CoLab and AUT.
