Either/or … and Both

Either/or … and Both is part of a series of moiré inspired works that make use of a combination of motion parallax effects and line-moiré interference patterns to produce a perceptual amplification of the viewer’s movement: with the intent of drawing greater attention to their own embodied and active perception.

Because this perceived effect is initiated through motion parallax, if the viewer stops moving, the interference patterns will also stop moving, so in order to experience the artwork, one must be in motion. Even though this Moiré effect produces a visual illusion of accelerated motion, the structure itself has no moving parts.

Produced in collaboration with Jonathon Anderson.
