In the realm of dynamic art, where Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) intersect, the concept of artwork in motion has been extensively explored, notably by the renowned artist nicknamed “Agam”.
He pioneered an innovative approach where the artwork transforms based on the viewer’s position, thus creating an interactive visual experience. In our workshop, we harness this idea to craft our own dual artwork, presenting two distinct perspectives from two juxtaposed drawings.
Collage, tryearsparancy, superposition… so many techniques to produce art! Le’ts try 3 different techniques to produce one same art piece!
