In this new installation, Tony Oursler uses the newly patented High Definition Volumetric Display technology to create a twenty-first-century camera obscura-an environment where both real objects and digital video images seem to float in midair. As we move through the installation, faces, nude human figures, and glass devils enter and leave our field of vision or appear to twist and move in space.

High Definition Volumetric Display technology to create a
twenty-first-century camera obscura-an environment where both
real objects and digital video images seem to float in midair. As
we move through the installation, faces, nude human figures, and
glass devils enter and leave our field of vision or appear to twist
and move in space. Continuing his recent investigations into the
history of optics, in The Darkest Color Infinitely Amplified Oursler
takes us inside an innovative optical apparatus where he
challenges our conceptions of "real" and "virtual."
