Lightscape Project - Masquerade (2016-17)

Lightscape explores transforming the experience of walking into a musical composition. This work is the VR version of the Lightscape project, shot with a 360-degree camera at Times Square in New York. It captures the visual impacts of numerous screens, lights, advertisements, and moving crowds. The bustling lights in the panoramic video signify, mask, and emphasize the illusion of time, place, and social characters. This project focuses on the complex intersection of sites, lights, and sounds represented in the urban 'sites' of visual cultures and associated discourse. It encourages a reinterpretation of the causal relationship between the city's environment and its citizens, highlighting the blurred distinction between living in the city and being surrounded, even consumed, by it.
