Artwork description
A3911.17 is one of a series of 3d scans by Dirk Paesmans processed over a 3 year span. The scans are of people in museums and galleries looking at art. In this scan, updated for Augmented Reality, a TV on the museum wall becomes a window into the world in which it is placed, creating a delightfully complex interplay between layers of mediation.
