Reality Reduction

For this Looking Outwards post, I will be talking about Lorna Barnshaw’s project called Reality Reduction (2013). Lorna Barnshaw is a 3D designer from London, United Kingdom, with a bachelor’s degree of Fine Arts from Winchester School Of Art. She works as a freelance designer, creating 3D designs during her free time. Her project, Reality Reduction consists of random people 3D scanned in 360 views and using computation to reduce their features to low-poly shapes. She simplifies the person’s features and pixels to visualize what a person may look like after reduction. This project is really interesting to me because it uses advanced technology to effectively communicate her concept. It is both eerie and interesting at the same time, captivating the viewer by its realistic scans.
