I’m most comfortable within an allegory
This was originally a Warhol idea, wasn’t it?
A six hour film of the Empire State building, as the day goes and the lighting changes, I think it was meant as like a window from an apartment or office right in the thick of Manhattan.Truth be told, I don’t hate the idea. Currently, it could be a framed digital screen on a loop, or showing a webcam feed. Why not a live view of Istanbul, or of the Moroccan desert?
It is 8 hours. I got that movie on DVD from Germany. I have never watched the whole thing and I would be disappointed in myself if I ever do.
Me visiting cool places in vr:
“Hey cool, we made a smaller cave inside the cave!”
“I warned you, bro! Didn’t I warn you? Your soul is bound within the confines of perceived reality, dude. The mind is a cage, my guy! You have to free yourselves from the cave and search for meaning beyond the simulacrum of the senses, man!”
Even when the windows are fake, you put in the panels! Give me an unobscured view!
the ilusion of the window is more important than the view
Plenty of windows are just one big pane.
yhea, but if you just use a big pane, it would look like you’re projecting a view, of you use a multi pane window, it looks more like a window.
it’s the imperfections that make illusions work
Then put some fingerprints or a butt print on it. If you’ve never left a butt print on a window you probably aren’t doing the right drugs.
not sure if you are sarcastically disageeing or genuinely supporting me, because yes.
Adding fingerprint or smudges will help sell the effect.
Just have the frame of a window around it.
Then cut away the wall inside the frame and put a pane of glass in it.
Then cover up the glass with white paper so you can see the projection better.
This is the funniest thread I’ve read all day.
You could do the same thing with a painting and a dim light. Just wouldn’t move. Assuming there are ”fake window” screen saver things for projectors.
Every 467 hours a shadowy figure peeks it’s head into the corner
Tap tap tap
That would be quite a lot of chest to clutch
