Tri-spectivus 

How do we experience faces?

We perceive one viewpoint. The time we look at a face – is linear. This one layer of time is one viewpoint –the human body and its senses are not able to perceive more than one layer of time without usage of modern technology or other objects. In these theses I leave out all kinds of inexplicable scientific phenomena. For example the aura or actual feeling of human presence. But as this is an experiment to extend the human sense through technology it simplifies to ignore notions like that, which cannot be captured with the technology of today.

With this project I am trying to deconstruct not only a face in different parts  - to show the different sides of a person/personality - but multiply time – so that time can be viewed - deconstructed on different surfaces. It might be difficult to argue that different projections of one thing/person recorded at the same time multiples time but I do believe that different view-points create a different perspective and in this case I call the perspective time. (past- recorded time)

These projections would be a meta-sense (an external sense). (Similar to a room full of CCTV projections.) A multiple stretches of time (perspectives) that can be viewed at once.

This perceptive extension allows us to differentiate between seeing/experiencing from a personal viewpoint and seeing/experiencing from something that technology can do.

Multiple-perception sneaked into our being without letting us know. Films or CCTV normalized this meta-sense. But we only experience this new external sense in 2D.

I feel strongly tempted to extant this project with CCTV cameras in the future. Already now I see a strong connection between my form of multiple perception and observing a person through CCTV cameras. In a room where there is more than one camera the operator (security) has the ability to observe the person from various angles and can see different movements, expressions or actions of one person. I think it would be very interesting to install a couple of CCTV cameras at a specific spot were people have to stop, any place where it would be possible to record a face and its emotions from different angles (for instance an elevator or in front of a toilet mirror).
