Continuous Structures is an immersive video installation integrating a combination of digital animation, video projection, and a room-sized architectural construction. The project is based on the concept of phenomenal transparency developed by Colin Rowe and Robert Slutzky. As phenomenal transparency is constructed by a mental fabrication of two surfaces whereby the implied layers of a composition appear to have oscillating depth, it acts as an optical event and can be regarded analogously to the phenomena of a virtual reality.
Using the line drawing of a parallelogram as the basis for the project, the installation explores how a single building block of information, like grain or a pixel, can be added and subtracted to create endless patterns which organize and dissolve into infinite landscapes. The viewer experiences various aspects of this projected abstract landscape in a parallelogram-shaped room, allowing one to "enter" the image in a visual and haptic manner.
