LO- 3D Computer Graphics

A work of 3D graphics that I found interesting is the augmented reality installation “Organised Labour (2016)” by UK artist Alan Warburton. The installation is of green protesters that block a street in Paris and was produced for Une Journée de Coïncidences.
I admire the artwork’s simplicity and strong impact because I appreciate how Warburton uses clear digital models and AR to convey his ideas. I suppose that the algorithms used to render this artwork had to respond to the environment of the Parisian street so that the shadows and size of the installation fit into the environment convincingly. The artist’s goal of the project was to explore the immateriality of AR and how it relates to the urban landscape. As such, the artist’s sensibilities show through the final product because the green model fits into the environment but, due to its style and the fact that it only exists in the digital realm, is constantly reminding the viewer that its not a physical object.
