NOTE: I was to upload this on Saturday Dec 12th but the internet failed.
This is the website I did for my final project. I based it around a vectorized Ninja I drew in FreehandMX around 4 years ago. I have made quite some works with him, and have decided to continue working on him.
Although arriving a few minutes late to the conference, I could say that for the time I was present, Steve Dietz did make a strong point on how we all live in a virtual stereo environment. During his time speaking, Dietz spoke on how technology has been incorporating itself in to our lives exponentially and how different artists from different parts of the world use these new technologies to their advantage when it comes to their work and proving points.
Although he did not talk much about his own works, he did talk about other artists who have used stereographic and technological in their works. One work included the mapping of radio frequencies in an area and another included a Black obelisk structure that would display different messages only through the point of view of an electronic device through an LED screen, being completely invisible to the naked eye.
Through the talk I noticed and was kind of inspired for the future to know that the this stereoscopic world is a playground for public art. One work that caught my attention was the image fulgurator. It was about a camera that would sync with other electronic devices through radio waves (especially from Digital Cameras) and at the moment the digital camera would capture an image the main camera would shot a stereographic image to where the tourist was taking a picture. Afterwards the image would appear in the digital picture the tourist took but invisible to their eyes. This work was appealing due to the subtle shock value it introduces among the viewers who are caught off guard. It is very effective to have a message transmitted when one is shown it unexpectedly. With this gadget, viewers would gain interest for having work shown to them in a very unconventional or unorthodox manner. Therefore the Image fulgurator I’d say is one work of art in our hertzian world that can really get a message across. Too bad that it is not as known as one would hope for.
Dietz talked about how awareness of the radio frequency in our daily life and how we all in a virtual stereoscopic environment. I would say that he did very well with the direction he took on showing how this virtual stereoscopic environment is present around the globe like in the Americas, Europe and Australia.

I decided to put the Vinyl Cutting in front of an ATM basing off the economical idea from the NWO Conspiracy theory where all the Worlds Economy is dominated by one ruling institution.
This is a map that depicts the location of several events that have involved humanity with some kind of inhumane entity (Monsters and diseases mainly).
So for the urban intervention, I decided to base it on the VeriChip.
“VeriChip Corporation, headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida, operates two distinct lines of business. Its VeriMed Health Link is the world’s first and only FDA-cleared, human-implantable RFID microchip for patient identification. Its VeriGreen Energy Corporation subsidiary was formed to invest in the clean and alternative energy sector.”
Over the years, there has been controversy over the VeriChip both from a religious and sociological point of view, the mark of the beast and a New World Order type scenario.
