The other world
INITIAL IDEA
My initial idea was to interact with my other quadrants. I pre-recorded one quadrant and wanted to use it as a base to refer to when I interact. (see top left video). The idea was to experiment and see myself exist in two time dimensions, meaning one when I was eating and the other 3, walking to class. But I failed to get it up live. Luckily, I hit the record button on OBS so I can show you guys what I was doing.
In any case, I did another live feed of myself mimicking myself eating as the base video (top left quadrant). I altered the looks of the other 3 feeds (eyes, mouth, face) and added delay to all of them. I then acted similarly to the base video but not always as I wanted to add an intentional “live delay”.
I am very interested in the idea of time-space dimension and wanted to find out what it feels like to live in between the then, the now and the the the the .. (get the pun? haha) Ever since young, I have never really been able to look at the movement of my eyes whenever I looked at the mirror. Doing this presented me the opportunity to try it out and see how my eyes move and watch it “real-time”.
There are many speculations on time travel and other dimensions that may exist and I am always intrigued by all of this sci-fi topics. I believe that we are able to harness the ability to control time (not too certain about space) and I think being able to do so live in a 2 dimensional space means something phenomenal. Like, I think that this can really be a possibility in the near future! Typing this out is already so exciting!
DIFFICULTY
The difficulty I faced was getting the video to go live, it took so long. I finally found out that my wifi router had some issues and when I connected to my neighbour’s router, I could do it. (OMG, cries). I did save the video but it was saved in flv so I’m trying to get it converted and will update it in this post when its done!
UPDATE:
Here’s the original live feed I tried to go live with
