Motion capture Pearls 2018 _

Selected for Symbiosis exhibition, central exhibition of Art Jewelry Night Budapest 2018

 

Symbiosis jewelry working as a mediator between real life and digital technology.

 

Through fast technological improvement, people start to see themselves as avatars(objects) same in real and virtual spaces.*

I used pearl and gold as materialized status symbol of jewelry and matched them with motion-capturing technology. Motion capture is used mainly in film industry, to model a 3D animated character body and facial movements.
To monitor facial expressions, there are certain points where you can read its movements, by white dots. I replaced these targeting info points with pearl. I state it’s neither utopic or dystopic, it is about an imagined jewel in the borderline of digital and physical, which fits to the criterion of wearable jewelry and motion capture technology.
