Augmented Animal Dolls
I was hoping to experiment and create a series of dolls that had 8 AR markers. The videos would display the aesthetic of the doll – a hybrid of human and animal parts. Im imagining an animal head/human body chimera. I would like to experiment with the sculptural element of the doll in terms of size, weight, and materials – some dolls could be made very flat – wood, metal, etc (imagine this would be easier for the computer to augment video). other dolls could be very soft fabric cotton and spongy. Latex would be great! but probably horrible for video augment~!…
this is a very rich idea with so many intertexts — dolls and the uncanny, cyborgs and Haraway etc.
*you* will love the new max/ar tag object we just got working — you’ll be able to do the 8 markers simultaneously. we’re really looking forward to experimenting with it… tomorrow we’ll be doing DART but we could probably set you up with ar tag soon.
