The Portrait Project, a collaboration amongst Heidi Latsky, Mallika Chandaria and TJ Butzke, reveals the inner beauty of a select group of artists who have participated in Latsky’s ON DISPLAY by placing them in an immersive virtual environment. The Portrait Project explores portraiture through compositions comprised of layers of rich imagery that evoke strong emotion. The audience will be invited to interact with these environments by using the 360 function that can be accessed on any smartphone. The Portrait Project is a new endeavor that will be developed over time, creating a body of work tailored for a variety of venues. Below are examples of what we have created to date.
Two 3 minute videos that have recently launched this project:
360 experience
2D rendering of the 360 experience
The 360 experience allows you to reveal different parts of the environment you would normally not be able to see in a 2D video. We invite you to interact with the video by pausing at any point and/or moving your phone around to reveal the entire image.
If on phone/tablet : Open the video in the youtube app. Begin playing it and move your phone around for the full 360 experience.
If on computer: Open video. To view all 360 degrees you can either click and drag the video, use the directional arrows on the screen, or use the W,A,S,D on your keyboard
W= up // A = left // S= down // D = right
If on headset: Open video on youtube inside the headset.
The first mini-portraits:
