sntong-Looking Outwards Week 1

This new media art installation is created by Akinori Goto in 2015. He recorded the movements of a person walking, created profiles of those “frozen” movements and made his own data series to make a loop in the movements. Judging from the short software interface shown in the video, I think Goto used Rhino with other plug-ins such as Grasshopper or Kangaroo to create the loop. He the choose to 3D print his installation and places it on a turntable with rays of light shining on it. Here is the link to his tumblr page with more of his videos http://akinorigoto.tumblr.com/. This art installation has inspired me to think of movement and time in a different perspective, as Goto stops time to create the frames, then using those shapes to create a movement. I liked the idea how light defines how the movement is read and re-interprets what a zoetrope can look like.
