ARTWORK

“Digital derivatives”
Christopher Coleman
USA

ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:
For Digital Derivatives, artist Chris Coleman will be 3D scanning visitors to the exhibition in order to capture their data. He will then distill and refine the person’s data in real-time until the essential unique features barely remain, turning them into a simplified shell which is then printed and shared with the visitor. Over the period of the exhibition the portraits will build up into a broad representation of the city which is displayed whenever the artist is not on site.
