Trisiras - An AR Self Portrait
Animated Women along with Fantoche international film festival in Baden Switzerland held an open call for female and non-binary animators to create an AR self portrait to be dsplayed during the festival. My entry named 'Trisiras' was selected and turned into an AR experience for the festival goers.
You can find the online AR exhibition here: http://www.animatedwomen.club/
Trisiras is an asura (mythical being) with three heads. Of the many interpretations of what his heads do, one is most interesting. It is said that the first head reads the vedas (ancient texts), the second drinks soma (ancient wine) and the third observes it's surroundings.
These are the three elements i.e. knowledge, experience and observation that feed me as an artist. Hence the self-portait.
The animation was created to convert this image into an AR experience.
