[-empyre-] July on empyre: Screens

[gh hovagimyan]

I think Lev Manovich has an essay about AR that talks about how the  
information network has gone from outside reality to become more  
integrated into day to day reality ala tablets and smart phones.
Recently I've been working with Kinect cameras that map x,y,z axis'  
using infrared. Now the information layer has become part of physical  
space.   I'm also working with AR but incorporating it into a larger  
discourse on art.
For example using paintings as AR markers to extend the discourse on  
painting into the information layer or extending the sense of  
movement, touch, body architectural space into the infomatic  
discourse.  I believe that Simon has a long time approach to these  
issues.
Anyway, I think the screen has a teleology that comes from painting  
to proscenium arch to screen. The hidden information layer is  
infrared and 3D imaging.
