Stereo Portrait Project
Event concluded on 8th June, 2010
Oh Really Gallery
55 Enmore, Newtown, New South Wales, Australia
Stereo Portrait Project is the brainchild of visual effects artists, Alex Fry and Jamie Nimmo. Born from their shared interest in stereo imagery whilst working on the upcoming Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole, they started a collaborative project aiming to document people in society using 3d portraiture.
Their debut show concentrates on Australian creatives including Children’s Author Morris Gleitzman, Archibald Prize winner Craig Ruddy, Writer and Futurist Richard Neville, Musician Rai Thistlethwayte, Director Michael Gracey and more. The exhibition invites the audience to face themselves as someone else using the sculptural aspects of 3d photography, opening up the inner lives of fascinating faces at Sydney’s emerging art breeding ground, Oh Really Gallery in Newtown.
Stereo Portrait Project will be participating at the launch of Creative Sydney, Friday the 4th of June at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in Sydney. To add something different on the night, SPP will be setting up a stereo booth to give everyone the chance to see themselves in 3d whilst streaming those images live to twitter.
Stereo Portrait Project is using off the shelf, accessible technologies throughout all aspects of the show. It’s supported by Blurb Inc, an award-winning creative publishing platform. The authors have produced a print on-demand book available from the Blurb Bookstore.
