Living Sculptures Series – Mike Campau

Hee Seo Chun’s Looking Outwards #5 Post

In this post, Hee Seo talks about a project series by Mike Campau where he creates portraits of different people using non-humanistic features generated from computer graphics. I agree with her in that it’s interesting how he uses non-humanistic features to personify a person by juxtaposing them next to humanistic features (like clothing, posture, etc.). I also think it’s interesting how these non-humanistic features can give this portrait character. It shows how you don’t always have to personify a person with a head, arms, body and legs. Also, the fact that this was generated on the computer and made to look very surreal is what makes this piece very compelling. By using non-natural ways of generating and non-natural features to create a “natural” subject, Mike Campau creates an interesting computational art series.
