Perspective

Lately Ive been interested in how language forms meaning in our brains. With this project, I am exploring how symbols can function to create meaning, and how similar icons can work in union to create a sense of disjuncture of perception.

The head is divided into lateral slices and the monitors are layed out consecutively—referencing medical imaging, and the almost scientific perspective that I am approaching project from. The artwork is clean and simple.

Only two monitors face the same direction, so it becomes impossible to see the entire project simultaneously. By the time a viewer can shift from one set of monitors to the other, the symbols will have changed.
