HYPNOGOGIA AR Collection
Adobe Aero Sculptures - 2022
The HYPNOGOGIA AR collection features animated kinetic works exploring layered movement with mathematical designs according to the golden ratio. The artwork represents a recurring dream sequence that I had as a child. As I fell asleep at night, I would feel my body change form into abstract matter that was being poured and folded into abstract shapes.
From six feet to twelve stories high, the animated works plant virtually on the ground using augmented reality technology on a smartphone. The kinetic sculptures are sculpted in virtual reality, then animated and displayed in Adobe Aero.
We are in the midst of an exciting new digital renaissance where artists are designing new paradigms for interaction and design. I am interested in the future of augmented reality fashion and art because the traditional rules do not apply.
Design elements do not need to be attached as they are in the real world, and gravity is no longer a constraint but instead a feature that can be animated. I am inspired by all of the amazing artists worldwide that are breaking boundaries daily with truly imaginative works!
