“TAO”

Inspired by an ancient Taoist anecdote of a butterfly dream, these looped visuals are created by putting together a sequences of image captured with a monitor and a camera each mounted on robotic arms. Each frame of the animation is a single long-exposure photograph taken with a DSLR camera controlled by one robot arm while the monitor displaying curated content moves through a pre-programmed pathway fed to the other robot arm. While the monitor moves, it plays topographic contour lines of a 3D object with exact z coordinate mapped in physical space. The result is a harmonic dance of random sectional lines picked up by the camera at different moment in time forming unique animated effect.
