Getty: Sculpture in Motion


2011 “Sculpture in Motion” is a cybernetic interactive installation that exhibited at the J. Paul Getty Museum.The work was inspired by artist Pier Gabriele Vangelli’s bust of oil tycoon, philanthropist, and art collector, J. Paul Getty. The actual marble bust is illuminated by a single video projector, connected to a computer and a camera sensor. Computer-generated imagery (CGI) and software create a lifelike digital reproduction of Mr. Getty himself, who speaks to visitors through one of few recorded interviews, even following viewers with its eyes. in collaboration with Ben Mandaberg.
