Jessica Medenbach – Looking Outwards -05

“The Box” by Bot and Dolly is a really interesting use of 3D graphics to me because it’s taking 3d graphics from Maya and then projection mapping them onto a box that moves, creating depth of space and then creating the illusion of 3d objects within that space. The extra added element is that the choreography of that box is done by robots which hold it.

What I think is interesting and exciting about this, is that it requires the use of algorithms to make everything work and flow together. The movement of the robots holding the box and how the 3d graphics move within that box, along with a lot of systematic planning and choreography create a really interesting otherworldly feeling installation.

I admire how these artists used different technologies to create this magical feeling. They are able to put the viewer into this unreal mesmerizing space while simultaneously making it feel uncanny and tangible, which I find really effective.
