Collaborative works by Joel Hurlburt & Timo Menke
The ongoing project Dark Optics and Thick Film operates with a 2,5D-approach to flatness and depth related to a new perception of space and body. Volumetric Video, the term used for the techniques applied in this project, offers the chance for a second lens to enter and navigate the scene. What is reviled is a vision strafed with blind spots and occlusions, one in which the viewer is lift to navigate a non-space of thick inky black. The audience is invited not only to get “behind the scene”, but even “behind the screen” or “behind the skin”, an inside-out experience of the human body.
