Master project »LIGHTVESSEL: SPECULATIVE MULTI-LAYERED LIGHTBOX CONSTRUCTIONS THAT ADD DEPTH & LIGHT TO STILL PHOTOGRAPHY«
von Brian Bixby

superviced by:
Jason Reizner Kristian Gohlke

Lightvessel is an analog image display device that adds a sense of depth and dimensionality to my photographs using a unique multi-layered design. The layering of materials brings my images into a realm outside of photography and allows me to incorporate other mark-making techniques into each composition. The images in this series illustrate nature in states of decay or decomposition. The duality of nature is presented, beautiful and horrifying, and paralleled my own fears of a virus during the development of this work.

Social distancing limitations led me to rely on digital working methods and 3D modeling software. Working digitally to develop machine-ready individual parts inspired me to begin making video renders of the sculpture and to experience the work in virtual spaces. This working process was similar to my daily routine since the lockdowns began, where most of my activities have been divided between my “normal” and my digital life and I wanted to reference this duality.

I have published Lightvessel to the Etherium Blockchain and the physical object is only unlockable after the purchase of the Non-fungible token (NFT). The NFT is a digital model of the physical object, animated in a 360-degree view. The owner of this token can receive the physical sculpture via postal mail shipped to anywhere in the world . The NFT will be published on KnownOrigin.io/Bixby.
