Deja Vu
Insight
Work in collaboration with the Spanish artist Solimán López for the Arts Laboratory of Valladolid (LAVA) as part of the side exhibition of TEDxValladolid.
Idea
The artist explores the concepts of time and space, multipresence and parallel universes. In this piece the viewer will see himself in CCTV monitors at locations where he has never been before.

Development
The installation uses a commercial Wifi CCTV camera which records the viewers from the back as they get in the room. Using a Mixture of Gaussian method for background subtraction, the computer is able to learn about the environment and discriminate images in movement. The viewer's image will be placed over video recordings from other rooms in the building, creating the illusion of seeing themselves leaving those other spaces.
Role
My role in this installation was co-ideation, coding and design of the interaction for the installation.
