PEDESTRIAN / 2002
This work of digital art by Shelley Eshkar and Paul Kaiser projects its imagery directly down onto a city sidewalk or the concrete floor of an art gallery. Conceived as a public sculpture, Pedestrian’s digital projection merges with the rough surfaces we walk upon. Its tiny denizens wander through a trompe l’oeil illusion in a city that seems to float both upon and within that surface. The figures move with an uncanny accuracy, for their movements derive from those of real people through a process called "motion capture." Their actions are pedestrian—but their over-all patterns evoke a mysterious narrative. (www.music.columbia.edu/.../HTML/PaulKaiser.html)
