Fuchsia, 2026
Interactive installation, 2 × 1.5 × 3 m (H × W × D)
depth camera, system built in Touchdesigner, 50" vertical 4K screen installed at eye height
The viewer’s 3-dimensional face and figure are captured by a depth sensor and recreated life-size and in real time on a vertical 50-inch screen, as though looking into a mirror. Within the digital reflection, a bright fuchsia glow emerges inside the viewer’s skull in place of the brain and remains internally connected as the viewer moves through the installation.
The sensual fuchsia colour was chosen as a hue that exists in its own right, neither red nor pink.
The depth sensor uses infrared radiation, invisible to the human eye, and operates in both darkness and daylight. The installation functions as an MRI-like mirror, shifting the focus from the surface attributes reflected in a conventional one towards the deeper workings of the mind.
The work encourages the viewer to internalise the glow as existing within their own mind.
Please select 4K quality when watching the video.
The viewer’s depth and volume data are used to reconstruct their 3d double, with the glowing sphere embedded within the actual spatial volume of the head.
