Representation is always limited by our sight and how we’ve been taught to use it.

A dog study.

Starting with a portrait of my dog guided by sense of touch, then translated to a digital texture and inserted into Resolume Arena, which responds to external sound.

Also, the drawing was the guide to make a tactile surface, using fake fur fabric. The intention was to translate the 2D representation to raised effect that due to its material it reminds the sensation of petting the dog.

This was part of a series of experimentations and studio work during the art residency Alter Academia in 2018.
