The Evolution of Movement: Inspiring Innovation in Digital Arts and Technology
Artist Statement
"Muybridge’s photographs of galloping horses, illustrated in 1878, foreshadowed the recorded image of human walking on the surface of the Moon. The desire to photograph movement has inspired the development of many new technologies, ranging from cinema to aviation, and has also been effective in the emergence of art movements such as Futurism, which represents speed, energy, power, and dynamism. In today’s cinema, motion capture technology—familiar to us from Avatar—has opened the door to brand new possibilities in digital arts by transferring human movements to the computer environment. By abstracting the relationship between humans and technology as a three-dimensional kinetic sculpture, I aimed to create an iconic digital work that captures Togg’s forward-looking innovative vision while establishing a historical connection with the development of art and technology."

İnsan ve Teknoloji (TR)
Muybridge'in 1878'de resimlediği dört nala koşan at fotoğrafları, Ay yüzeyinde yürüyen insanın kaydedilen görüntüsünün habercisiydi. Hareketin fotoğraflanabilmesi arzusu sinemadan havacılığa kadar uzanan pek çok yeni teknolojinin gelişimine ilham verdiği gibi, hız, enerji, güç ve dinamizmi temsil eden Fütürizm gibi sanat akımlarının ortaya çıkmasında da etkili olmuştur. Günümüz sinemasında Avatar'dan aşina olduğumuz hareket yakalama teknolojisi, insan hareketlerinin bilgisayar ortamına aktarılabilmesi ile dijital sanatlarda yepyeni olasılıklara kapı açmıştır. İnsan ve teknoloji arasındaki ilişkiyi üç boyutlu bir kinetik heykel olarak soyutlarak, Togg'un ileriye dönük yenilikçi vizyonunu yakalarken, sanat ve teknolojinin gelişimiyle tarihsel bir bağlantı kuran ikonik bir dijital eser yaratmak istedim. -Can Büyükberber
