Panopticon
This body of work is a series of images derived from a virtual space. The “landscape” is made using the raw data from a heart rate monitor and engaging with the natural world. The information has been translated using various software in order to re-create the various data points of heart rate, location, power output, speed, time, etc. In its final form as you see in the exhibition, the work has been processed through a popular 3D world generator. This then creates a new, relational landscape. The relationship of this data and IRL landscape is utilized to develop the new terrain seen in the work. Each of the atmospheric elements is tied to a different data point to create the overall landscape.
