Giant Interactive Sculpture - "AS WE ARE"

"But first, lemme take a selfie." -Edward Lin 2018/10/23

 

    When young Narcissus fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water, he did not realize that one day the name of  himself will once and forever turn into a term of excessive self-love and selfishness, then one day related to the general self-photo taking viral, "Selfies". And to the advanced state of art, Mathew Mohr had put it into another level.

     "I feel like a statue. I always wanted to be memorialized." The gigantic head figure displayed at Greater Columbus Convention Center is a fourteen-foot, 3-D universal human head made from ribbons of ultra-bright, LED screens. After passersby having their photo taken, they can have their head displayed on a larger than life head-shaped sculpture vividly to the crowd.

      Compose of 3000 custom designed LED displays, over 850,000 lights in total, the panels are wrapped 360-degrees around a head-shaped skeleton. In order to present the human head precisely, “As We Are” inside contains a photo booth capable of taking 3-D pictures, 32 digital camera operating simultaneously in order to capture every angle of your head.

      Artist who designed it, a professor at the Columbus College of Art and Design, Matthew Mohr came up with the idea of turning selfies to another level. He transformed the self-art photography into an interactive display,  aiming to present the capital of Ohio, Columbus as a welcoming, diverse culture where visitors and residents can engage on multiple levels. Meanwhile,  the total art piece also indicates the importance of social media is indeed increasing, and by far a very huge success.
